Questions and discussions about your electricity and gas meters, connections, disconnections and more
I recently got a new meter. The old one had four digits, the new one has 8 - 5 black, 3 red.
Everything I see online says that I only read the first 5 digits, and that I enter everything from left to right including zeroes.
The problem is; my app only gives me 4 spaces to enter digits. So if my meter says '0003', I can either enter 0000 (which the app won't let me do), or 0003, which I think is 10x my actual usage, right?
Is the app incorrectly set up - should there be 5 digits instead of 4 - or am I entering my read incorrectly? I've been charged double what I normally pay this month, and I only have a gas stove that I used 2-3 times a week.
