Bad: SmartHub usage and temp's are just averages and estimates.

From an actual billing usage, my bill went up 48% from June to July.
I mentioned, better than the 100% on SmartHub, but still seems excessive.

Bad: "Well, all we can tell you is that is what you used."

They did admit, "most" meters start at zero KwH's on them....but not all.

Bad: They assume, but could not confirm mine was at zero.

Very frustrating I'm sure.

What would your bill look like assuming the new meter started at zero?

Given they way they are rolling it out, seems unlikely they would install a previously used meter.

I have a sense device that measures power real time, meter matches closely.

Most likely cause is human error when installing the meter.
