I had a digital domestic and solar meter installed by Essential Energy for $290 in 2011, to meter my dom. and solar power after my solar system was installed. In 2018, Origin Energy offered to install a smart meter, Vertex, to meter my dom., off peak and solar output for $0. I accepted, now it sends hourly readings, via SMS, to my Origin account via Vertex. I log into my account, that diplays all data in quarter, monthly and daily formats ( bar graphs). An accurate quarterly bill estimate is also given. All this information I use to run in a spreadsheet, now it’s done automatically, very convenient and no more spreadsheet. If you change retailers this information would be redirected to them. No more manual meter reading.
