Your In-Home Display
shows information from
your smartmeters
An In-Home Display (IHD) is
an electronic device that talks
wirelessly to your smart meters.
It updates every 30 minutes
and shows your energy usage,
measured in kilowatt-hours
(kWh), and the cost, shown
in pounds and pence. This
information can give you a
better idea of how much energy
dierent appliances use.
Once you know that, you can
save money by making more
informed choices about when
and how you use them.
Your In-Home Display needs
to maintain a connection
withyour smart meter
To make the most of your
display, it’s useful to keep it
plugged in somewhere you
caneasily see it.
Wherever you choose, check
the signal strength by looking at
the
symbol on the top left of
the screen (marked

when you
turn the nextpage in this book).
The more stripes, the stronger
the signal. If the signal is weak,
move the In-Home Display closer
to your electricity smartmeter.
