Ok, got lucky was able to power down before the contractor changed my meter. Got baseline for summer use, I am averaging 24KW in 24 hours. (3 day total so far) I also recorded the reading in old meter, but don’t make much since to me.

It's nice how the app can provide views of new meter usage down to the hour. There's not much difference fur me compared to last year.

I also have a Sense power monitor, the readings match closely to three new meter.

If you complete the home survey, the breakdown estimates are close also.

However there seems to be glitches in the new system, my app has zero data for 3 days, and on Thursday, I only used 7.42kWh in 24 hours.

So my guess is work in progress until fully functional

Yeah...There are some database update glitches....

The SECO tech came to my door and notified me that the power would be off for about two mins. He was wrong, it was off for almost a min while he changed out the meter. I had just enough time to turn off my computer, and really didn't need to do that. No problems resulting from the change.

Are you living in that house right now?

I just read the meter and do old school math. I refuse to walk around with IPhone surgically attached. :sigh:

Yep meter is reading fine, it their app that is having issues. As far as internet use, between work, person email, banking, grocery order, controlling cameras, pool, robots, and TOTV, 56 minutes is top of spectrum for use per day. I am extremely efficient.

For those who have had their meter changed, did the contractor move down your block, changing the meter at each house, one after another? in other words, if you were outside, could you "see them coming" before the installer rang your doorbell?

I heard a knock on my door, found a flyer, then walked out to my meter where he was working. He said just five more in the cul de sac and he was done for the day. So I didn’t see him coming but he was working his way one house after the other.
