    I wrongly assumed that when I got a smart meter I'd be able to see and monitor daily usage in near real-time via an app or website. Is there however a way to do this? Can I see my smart meter over the internet?

    Best you can view is prior 24 hours.

    Go to ESB networks site, register an account with your MPRN. You can then view your recent usage & download data to CSV file to analyze offline.

    Call me a sceptic, but I think the real purpose of smart meters is to allow suppliers to charge you more at certain times. ie when you actually want and need it, like first thing in the morning and when you get home from work.

    My mom who lives in the UK has one, worst thing she ever got. Sits there watching the price on it, scared to turn the heating on as she can see cost start to go up. Every night I ring her she gives me the run down on how much it's cost her today.

    Hard to see any benefit for the consumer

    You might break even using appliances at the night rate
