How much data is your smart meter collecting on you?

[Caute_cautim]

Hi All

This conversation is probably a little old, and long in the tooth, but still worth considering and raising once again - exactly how much data is collected by the smart meters and who gets to analyse and potentially sell that data on?

Are other countries affected?  Do they have same issues or have they been dealt with?

I pay $6 extra every month for a dumb meter.  When they rolled it out in my area, nothing was encrypted.  You could join the zigbee network and see everything.  It took them 4+ years to get called out on that and fix it.

As best I can tell the meters here are sampling in 30 second intervals, however the utility and commission are cagey about specifics.   That seems a bit outside the scope of the stated purpose.
