Project future

Hi folks,

I've been unfortunately quiet here over the last few months. I haven't had a working smart meter since the 30th of December (#46 (comment)) and my attempts to get a SMETS2 meter commissioned have been fruitless so far.

What happened to your smart meter?

1. 30 December 2021 00:00 Last meter reading received (visible at api.octopus.energy/v1/electricity-meter-points)
2. 31 December 2021 13:57 Contacted Octopus
3. 31 December 2021 18:21 Acknowledgement from Octopus
4. 03 January 2022 14:54 Contacted Octopus again
5. 03 January 2022 16:11 Octopus agrees to dispatch emergency meter engineer
6. 03 January 2022 19:00 SMETS2 meter is installed but meter commissioning fails
7. 03 January 2022 19:20 Contact Octopus to commission meter
8. 16 February 2022 14:05 Contact Octopus (again) to commission meter
9. 22 February 2022 09:43 Octopus requests information on meter status
10. 22 February 2022 09:53 Contact Octopus with meter status
11. 10 March 2022 18:41 Octopus agrees to dispatch meter engineer
12. 24 March 2022 10:00 Communications hub replaced, meter commissioning fails
13. 28 March 2022 14:00 Contact Octopus to understand next steps

It seems DCC tried enrolling and adopting my SMETS1 meter on 30 December 2021 but bricked the meter instead.

I've been told by Hildebrand my existing Glow Stick (actually given to me by Octopus) won't be useful for SMETS2 and even a new CAD won't be useful until my new meter can be commissioned. It's also likely my flat isn't within the coverage area for Arqiva's SMETS2 Scotland network.

I'm completely at a loss on how to move forward here :(

I'm hopeful Octopus will be able to figure a workaround with the DCC, but being unable to test my own meter has made it impossible to continue work on ha-hildebrandglow.

Apologies again for the inconvenience this has caused you all. I'm really enthused by the attention this project continues to receive and sincerely hope I can keep working on it in the near future.

Don't suppose you know of a way to amend the current MQTT data to /10 as i'm getting far to higher readings (10* to much infact lol).
