What do you want to know?
The full url got shared now. The entire conversation can be read l had with Grok. Basically, l wish to figure out how exactly a smart meter more advanced than the electricity meter we used to use 30 years ago.
Sure, so I got a smart meter with my solar panel installation and the big difference is in monitoring.
With the old meters back in the day, you could go read the meter yourself, see what the number is, then check it every day or every week to measure your energy consumption.
With a smart meter, that's all done through an app, and it uses patterns of energy use to identify individual appliances.
Which app is this ?
I should say too, that was almost 12:30 last night so you couldn't really see what solar was doing.
Here it is at 9:45 this morning:
