Our specially designed AC power adapter has a collapsible earth pin to enable the smallest outline and letterbox friendly packaging, helping optimise shipping and reduce our carbon footprint. Simply slide the earth pin upwards on the adapter until it locks into position, then plug it into your power socket.

The battery is intended as a backup power source for prepayment accounts needing to activate emergency credit, re-enable supply or to enter a code for topping up credit. The device can be used on battery power alone, enabling you to move the display around your home. This helps to identify energy-hungry appliances and see the impact on your energy usage and costs. This lets you identify where changing your habits (eg full loads/less frequent washes for washing machines) or switching to a more energy-efficient appliance when replacing could help.

The displays are intended to be left powered on so that they receive data from your metering system as it shares the data (Electricity ~every 10 secs / Gas ~ every 30 mins) and keep you informed of near “real-time” energy usage. To fully power down the unit you will need to turn off the AC power adapter at the socket and unplug, remove the USB power adapter, remove the rear cover and remove the backup battery. If you want to power down the display during the day/night then you can remove the backup battery and use the AC power adapter only, allowing you to turn it off at the wall socket. Note: if you do this and are a prepay customer, you should keep the battery in a handy place so you can insert the battery when power has been disconnected and you need to manually enter a UTRN to enable your electricity supply.

Use the settings menu to change the Screen Brightness, Standby, Timers and Usage Light to reduce the amount of power the unit is using. Setting the “standby clock” to “off “, adjusting the “Show Standby” value (ie 10 secs) and “Return Home” value (ie 10 secs), will return the display to the home screen after the selected time (ie 10 secs) from other screens. The unit will then go into a standby mode with the display screen turning off a further 10 secs later utilising very low power mode. The display screen will re-appear when any button is pressed, taking it out of standby.

Press and hold the OK button. In the pop-up window select <Restart> and confirm. Your SmartView will soft reset and then re-connect to your Smart Meters/Comms Hub.

The displays are intended to be left powered on using your AC Power adapter so that they receive from your metering system as it shares the data (Electricity ~every 10 secs / Gas ~ every 30 mins) and keep you informed of near “real-time” energy usage. When powered by the AC power adapter battery power is not used, although the SmartView will charge the battery to its maximum charge. The more you use and recharge the SmartView on battery power the sooner the battery will need replacing.

1: Turn off the AC power adapter at the socket and unplug. 2: Turn the SmartView upside down so that you can see the USB connector housing in the foot of the device. 3: Grip the strain relief and pull the connector away in line with the foot so that the connector is kept straight.

The SmartView will continue to operate if you remove the AC power adapter cable as long as the backup battery is inserted and charged. The battery is intended as a backup power source for those with prepayment accounts needing to activate emergency credit, re-enable their supply or to enter a code for topping up their credit. Using the SmartView on battery power allows you to temporarily move around your home with it, helping identify energy-hungry appliances and see the impact on your energy usage and costs. This helps recognise where changing your habits (eg full loads/less frequent washes for washing machines) or switching to a more energy-efficient appliance when replacing could help.

The Energy Standby Clock will appear on your device after a period of inactivity if the Energy Clock has been enabled in the settings (default is “on”). You can select the inactivity time duration from off to 10 minutes in 10-second steps. The Energy Standby Clock informs the user at a glance how much energy they have used at different times throughout each day using the red, amber, green indicators for Low, Medium and High usage during those times relative to the budget you have set. If you are a dual fuel customer this clock will give an overview of your Gas & Electricity usage combined. In the middle of the clock, it will show you how much you have spent on your Gas & Electricity so far that day.

The ambient indicator will be active if you have set a budget for electricity and the colour it displays is linked to the thresholds set based upon that set budget. The ambient indicator allows you to see at a glance whether you are using a lower or higher amount of electricity at that time. If your SmartView’s ambient indicator is Green then, at that specific moment, you are spending/consuming less than your set budget if it continued at this level all day. If your SmartView’s ambient indicator is Red then, at that specific moment, you are spending/consuming more than your desired budget if it continued at this level all day. If your SmartView’s ambient indicator is Amber then, at that specific moment, you are spending/consuming in the region +/-30% of your set budget if it continued at this level all day.

The ambient indicator will turn blue if there is a pop-up notification/alert that is waiting on the SmartView for you to acknowledge.

You can set individual usage/spend budgets for Gas and Electricity on all IHDs from our SmartView range.

Your IHD may have a section that details your last 5 top-ups if supported and made available to the display by the Smart Meters. If you’ve placed a successful top-up but it is not displayed on your IHD don’t worry. It should appear once this data is made available to the display and you can still see the history on your meter.

The SmartView is only able/allowed to display the data shared to it by the Smart Metering Home Area Network and that data is routed through the Comms Hub/Electricity Meter. Gas data comes from a mirror on the Comms Hub as the Gas Meter only communicates with the Comms Hub. If you are not seeing Gas data, power cycle the IHD when you are close to your Comms Hub/Electricity Meter by using the restart function or by removing/replacing the USB power and backup battery. If the gas screen does not appear after the power cycle on the SmartView, contact your energy provider for them to investigate why the gas data is not being shared with the display.

The SmartView is only able to display the data shared to it by the Smart Metering Home Area Network and that data would be routed through the Comms Hub/Electricity Meter. Gas data comes from the Comms Hub to the display, as the Gas Meter only communicates with the Comms Hub. If you are not seeing any electricity or gas data, please power cycle the display when you are close to your Comms Hub/Electricity Meter by using the restart function or removing/replacing the USB power and backup battery. If after power cycling the SmartView both the Electricity and Gas screens are displayed, move away from the meters and place the display in your preferred location. If you lose signal again, try moving the display to an alternate location closer to the meter until the Electricity and Gas screens are updated again and then try different placements in your home to find a suitable location. It is difficult to pinpoint exact range, as ZigBee signals are very dependent upon the construction of the building or what is in the path between the display and the Comms Hub/Electricity Meter.

If the device powers up using the AC Power Adapter, please check there is a battery inserted, or that the battery inserted is the battery that was supplied with the unit. If the unit has been running under battery power alone, it may have become fully discharged. If after plugging in the USB power adapter and connecting to the mains the device does not power up, please ensure that the USB is fully pushed into place. You may find a little more force is required than normal as there is an ingress protection seal as part of the USB housing. After ensuring that the USB is fully inserted, the display will either power up or remain unpowered. If the display powers up, you may not immediately see the battery charging icon as the battery was fully discharged. If the display remains unpowered try the following steps: 1: Power off the AC Power Adapter at the wall socket then remove the USB adapter cable. 2: Remove the battery cover by removing the adapter cable and sliding the cover down. 3: Plug the USB of the AC power adapter into the SmartView without the rear cover fitted, ensuring the battery does not fall out.

Your in-home display is provided for each specific property by the smart meter installer. The device should be left in the property together with the smart adapter, battery and Quick Start Guide (if provided), as this device is paired to the meters in that home. If you take the display with you, it will not join the meters in your new home. If your new property does not have an in-home display but has Smart Meters, please contact your energy supplier.

When you move home your energy supplier sets up the date/time for a Change of Tenancy event to occur. From this time, data relating to the energy usage of the persons leaving this address is blocked and only the new tenant’s data is then shared with the display. As the SmartView does not store any customer data, the new tenants will not be able to see any of the previous tenant’s data. If you have any concerns about your data, please contact your energy supplier.

Data received by your in-home display should continue as usual, as this comes from the smart meter(s). There may be a short changeover period as the new supplier configuration is shared with the Smart Meters/Comms Hub. During this time data may not have fully populated and may appear as if there are some gaps, but this should remedy itself within approximately 7-10 days.

The metering system shares information with your display as an aggregated/total value so it is not possible to determine what you are using and when on the different tariff rates. To view your tariff/rates please follow these steps from the Homepage: 1: Press [OK] to take you to menus 2: Select [Electricity] or [Gas] relating to the meter for which you wish to view your Tariff/Rates and confirm [OK] 3: Select [My Account] and confirm [OK] 4: Select [Prices] and confirm [OK]
