If it's just the IHD with problems, don't worry about it. Mine is in a drawer somewhere. It doesn't do anything.

I don’t know, but Octopus are no longer receiving smart meter data from me (and vastly overestimated my bill after I was away for a month).

I assumed the IHD was receiving data from the meters and pushing it to the account, is that not how it works?

No, the meters communicate directly over a mesh network setup between neighbouring meters. I think somewhere they'll be a cell tower connection or something.

The IHD is solely for you to look at, or not.
