Thanks for sharing this Luzzie. You have digital, or analog meters? Were you able to opt out before they tried to install the smart meter? Or did they remove it for you?

I had all meters switched not long after we moved into our house. The electric meter is digital and a meter reader comes here each month. I'm not sure how the water and gas meters are read.

Curious- how'd you manage that? Usually power companies dont do that easily

Apparently they knew it was my right.

Wow! Incredible. May I ask, what state you're in?

Arizona, and that was 6 years ago.

Hmm. I forgot that in March 2022 a tech from our gas company installed a new meter. I asked if it was a smart meter and he said no. I researched the meter and discovered it is a hybrid smart meter. From my limited understanding, it doesn't seem to constantly emit usage.
