Yikes..The more I look into this the more worried I get..
we are trying to make the house heating come on as recquired ready for an 85 year old to return from hospital..No go! Its'smart' metered..We are trying to find someone to fit an old type thermostat we can actually use and buy a multi fuel stove..I think these smart things are useful for power suppliers as they send the readings direct so the bills can be deducted direct ,how we are supposed to use them remains unknown..I think my little plug in 'meter'can go for recycling ,far too smart for me!
Smart meters don't switch things on and off… yet.
Are you sure it isn't storage heaters? If they are Economy seven they will only come on at night. If so, you need to switch them on, set the left hand 'output' dial all the way to the left (keeps the heat in longest, you can turn it right to let heat out) and try the right hand dial (input) somewhere left of midway for starters.
