We have a version of smart meters up north and all they do is allow the meeter to be read from a car passing the house. Our version dose not have the control ability that the newer units have.
One needs to get a true understanding of what you are busing sold. I attended a meeting by SECO on other issues and I asked about smart meters and their transmit power. I was told that your cell phone radiates more power than a smart meter. Also the smart meter is only sampled 6 times an hour. The SECO person did not have all the technical details that I was interested in but that was not the lead topic of his presentation.
I would be more interested in the transmit frequency and how readings are passed from house to house across the grid to the base location. This contradicts the statement of 6 samples a minute if the units are passing reading traffic from one house to the other.
Interesting topic to say the least.
