I'm with EE, and get a fine connection on phones via broadband wifi. But our smart meter is dumb because we live in a poor network area.
Octopus say "Unfortunately, smart meters typically connect through the DCC (Data Communications Company) network, which relies on mobile signals. If you're in an area with no mobile signal, it can indeed be challenging for the smart meter to communicate effectively. However, I appreciate your suggestion about using your EE network over Wi-Fi. Currently, smart meters are not designed to connect via Wi-Fi, but I can see how that would be a great solution."
I used to have a 3g booster/signal box but gather these have been discontinued since 4g. Can anyone suggest a hardware or software solution that can offer a decent signal to our dumb meter to make it smart?
