They installed a smart meter on my house, does anyone know how to get them to take it off????

• Identify electrical devices inside the home, and record when they are operated, causing invasion of privacy;

• Monitor household activity and occupancy in violation of rights and domestic security;

• Transmit wireless signals that may be intercepted by unauthorized parties. Those signals can be used to monitor behavior and occupancy and can be used by criminals to aid criminal activity against the occupants;

• Collect data about daily habits and activities, and record and store this in databases that can be accessed and shared by unauthorized parties.

Bitch like hell.

Just google: "How to get it off". You'll get lots of ideas.

Evil smartmeter. Now power companies can use usagedata in their evil computers so they can plan better for expansians and delivery. Oooooow the horrorrrrr!

Comply or die.

Just wrap the dam thing with tin foil works every time when they come out to fix it just wrap it agin

Yeah, it's really easy all you do is tell the power company to shut off your power permanently.

Welcome to living off grid - don't worry, life in the 1800's wasn't so bad.

What happens if you install enough solar panels to sell power back to the grid? Does that nullify the smartmeter's ability to track your use?

Enjoy the pulses...



Someone in maine got a smart meter removed because it messed with the home's security system. Only story i know of.

Until I found this...

SANTA CRUZ, CA—Just as PG&E enters the final phase of its deployment of wireless “smart” meters in California, the largest of the state’s Investor Owned Utilities (IOU’s) has reversed course, quietly beginning to replace the ‘smart’ meters of those reporting health impacts with the old trusty analog version. Consumer rights and health groups immediately seized on the news, demanding that millions of Californians unhappy with their new wireless meters get their analogs returned immediately at no cost.

No. The smart meter was made to actually talk to the Smart Appliences in your home.

Ideally- these will be...
EVERYTHING.

Your fridge, your lights, your heater, your ac, everything you plug in will have a chip in it- and you can go online to see neat-o charts of your usage of everything~ and so can the power company, so as it can advise you on ways to save energy.

That is what the industry has stated is the goal.

Eventually 'walls' will go up to make it much more expensive to run your appliances during peek hours. This is already active in some states.

So, you see- it doesn't stop at the meter- it actually goes inside the house to look for smart chips to report back to it.

That information would still be transferred whether you supplement with Solar or not. It is the sole job of the device.

C4 does the trick ;)

They already have patterns of usage.
Data goes back to when it was first put into use.

You fell for that line? Wow. The Horror!

I got a bridge to sell you.

You know the last time we updated our power plants?
They are falling apart.

They should put some money there before tracking everyone's second by second use of electricity as the grid fails due to not repairing our electrical production infrastructure for decades.

See you then Columbo.

whoops, wrong quote sorry

there we go
