Our pilot of second generation smart meters continues. Weβve found an issue affecting some In-Home Displays which means theyβre not all showing gas usage. Itβs a bug affecting most new SMETS2 installs in the North - keep an eye on this post in the communityβs Smart Meters section as weβre hopeful of a fix very soon.

We did the same Q&A with Andrew last year and it was really popular.

Itβll be fantastic to get as much feedback and suggestions as possible from community members.:foldedhands:
In the community itself, weβre testing out a new text editor this month. This will improve the experience of posting in the community, especially when adding photos and emojis.:rolleyes:
