How to read an Economy 7 electricity smart meter with two grey buttons
Normally, a smart meter sends us your readings automatically. So please only give us a reading if we've asked you to do this.
If we've asked you for a reading, please take it from the meter itself – not your in-home display. Your meter is usually on a wall or board; your in-home display either plugs into a socket or runs on batteries.
It looks like you have a Honeywell Elster AS302P (SMETS2) smart meter. Follow these steps to read the two rates on your electricity meter:
- Press the bottom grey button to wake up the screen
- Press the top button once to see an arrow next to 'Supply'
- Press the bottom button three more times to scroll the arrow down to 'Registers'
- Press the top button once to see an arrow next to 'Cumulative'
- Press the bottom button twice to move the arrow down to 'Rates 1-48'
- Press the top button to see 'Cum. Imp. R01'
- Write down the numbers in front of ‘kWh’ – this is your Rate 1 reading
- Press the bottom button to see 'Cum. Imp. R02'
- Write down the numbers in front of ‘kWh’ – this is your Rate 1 reading
Read the numbers from left to right; ignore any zeroes at the beginning and any numbers after the decimal point.
