I think they read my gas meter, because they are *exactly* that kind of stupid.
I think when they came to repair the damaged stopcock in front of our shared driveway (only took them 18 months) they sent some numpty to go check for a meter and saw my gas meter cabinet was open, so they reported that as the water usage even though neither of our properties is metered.
@gsuberland best check they didn't replace the stopcock with a meter. That's what they do now, based on a sample of 2 on my street.
Coincidentally, they're using Octopus Energy's Kraken platform for their smart meters. It's designed to produce open data, but they won't allow us access to that usage data and "have no current plans to".
They're on LoRa 868MHz. Someone will crack it soon enough.
@greem I'll go open it in a bit. but if they just installed it then they a) can't possibly have any data yet, and b) would be measuring both our properties as a combined pipe.
@gsuberland @greem they’ve just put a meter *somewhere* and attached it to a property. It’s covering an entire city.
