Ivie ivie Bud | in-Home Display Your Smart Meter

Product Information

The only workaround is to use an IHD that comes from your energy supplier as these can be paired without internet access. I have done a basic due diligence check against them to make sure they're legitimate, but otherwise I cannot vouch for them. It is mandatory for energy suppliers to provide you with a printed user guide at your smart meter installation. UK Fuel Mix disclosure information published by Government Department DESNZ (PDF, 173 KB), recognises electricity from wind, solar and nuclear fuel produces zero carbon dioxide emissions at the point of generation.

That said, all Apps and devices will show incorrect cost information in the supplier hasn’t updated the correct tariff information in the ESME and GSME. There is no way of getting around that which I’m aware of and given that I work in cybersecurity myself… I’m unlikely to recommend any because 99. Most IHDs come with a 12 month warranty, which covers faults with the device itself - but DOES NOT cover accidental damage, loss or theft. The Smart Meter itself can provide a lot of data but it requires a good knowledge of what buttons to push, the sequence to push them in and how many times.Your IHD receives data from the comms hub mounted on the top of your electricity meter more frequently. The added benefit of real-time data can help users make instant decisions by comparing and adjusting how and when energy is used in the home. If you do accidentally take it with you, it would be really helpful to the new householder if you could take the IHD back to its original home and give it to them.

Energy usage breakdowns clearly show which habits and activities, such as laundry or appliances that are always left on, are using the most energy in the home.With that being said, the regular Chameleon IHDs that are NOT the ivie Bud do not require Chameleon Cloud stuff and in fact, don’t even talk to it at all in a default configuration outside of getting firmware updates every so often, if the supplier is subscribed to firmware update services.

All IHD/CAD devices that connect to your smart meter communications hub have to be paired securely with the hub by a Registered DCC User or Registered DCC Other User. Mike Woodhall, CEO, Chameleon Technology added: “To date, as consumers, we have all been passengers on the journey towards Net Zero. This is where CADs come in as they use the IHD data and therefore you can see the data more quickly. The ivie app also has a reward point system in place for when users complete challenges and save energy which can be exchanged for raffles and prizes from ivie. Every few seconds the electricity meter sends data to the communication hub over the Intimate Communications Hub Interface.

Importantly this CAD has a WiFi connection allowing data to be transferred to back to Hildebrand so that you can see it on their Glow app almost immediately. There also appears to be (or going to be) the ability to link to Smartthings app and access the data on mobile or tablet and presumably remotely as well.
