I live in Ontario Canada and since the smart meter our electricity is up and we have gone crazy trying to lower it. i can not help but wounder if it uses the same faulty measurement methodology.

You can take pictures of your physical meter's indicators and see if that matches up with your billed usage.

You could also test how accurate the meter is by measuring current on the main feed and doing some math.

you have a link on this that will help a n00b like me figure this out

Not only ESMIG disputed the findings, also the Radiocommunications Agency Netherlands released a statement calling the lab conditions not comparable to normale home conditions: https://agentschaptelecom.nl/actueel/nieuws/2017/slimme-elek...

wow the more I read into this the worst it sounds it can't possibly be this much corruption and gouging going on can it.

I'm getting more and more frustrated with digital appliances. Moved to a new place and the fancy digital appliances are more inconvenient than my previous older appliances with analog buttons and inputs. They are a negative to the experience. They're ruining cars too.

It's scary how much power we give IOT devices. It would be trivial for a utility company to alter or change readings in their favor.

Wouldn't that be illegal? And can't power companies modify mechanical meters as well, if defrauding their customers is their goal?
