[QUOTE="OHJEEZE, post: 4191067, member: 47878"] Our electric company says; "Q. How does a smart meter work? A. Our smart meters send readings electronically to a network of receivers that are installed on poles. Energy consumption data for utility billing purposes is collected and transmitted a few times a day using short, extremely low-power radio transmissions through a wireless network system. These electronic transmissions nearly eliminate the need for meter readers to record your meter’s usage because the readings are automated." If you block the rf signal, communication is lost, right? We was not forced to get a smart meter, we was coerced! 😁 We could keep our old meter and pay a $40 monthly service charge! ☹️ That $40 service charge is outrageous since generally my total electric bill hovers around $30-40 a month [/QUOTE]
