Why is my smart meter data sometimes missing?

Why is my smart meter data sometimes missing?

You might see gaps in your usage when we haven’t received an automatic meter reading. This can happen when we temporarily lose connection with your meter after a brief power loss or a drop in signal, but the gaps don’t normally last very long. If it’s happening a lot, there are some things you can do to try to remedy the problem and prevent readings from being missed.

  • Make sure the connection is strong. Smart meters send data using a signal in the same way as your mobile phone. If your area has poor signal, or if the meter is in a place with weak signal, this can affect it.

  • If your Home Mini isn't connecting, make sure it's plugged in as close as possible to your electricity meter – ideally within 5 metres.

  • Remember you’re not alone. Contact our support team if the problem keeps happening and we’ll look into it for you.
