Personally I would avoid having them installed, as posted above. The only real benefit is that you supplier is able to take a meter reading remotely assuming you have a compatible meter fitted.

Have another read mate. You’ll see “pointless” quoted at least a couple of times I suspect.
Who knew smart meters were such an emotive subject.
