When smart meter is installed an IHD is provided free of charge and it comes with a 12 month warranty, if for any reason the IHD stops working or is damaged we will replace this within the warranty period. We are unable to send IHD replacements outside the warranty period so this is why we have partnered up to offer an alternative solution for those who may want to arrange for a replacement themselves.

Understanding energy usage and how to reduce it has been a difficult task for most households. With the ivie app, users can easily understand how and when they’re using energy in the home with activity breakdowns, reports and personal energy-saving tips and challenges.Yeah, I’d agree with your thoughts there as well. It feels to me that the ivie Bud needs more polish and the closed beta could have been better utilised. A tester from it reached out to me recently actually and told me a lot. They were under NDA with Chameleon though, so I’ve agreed to their request for anonymity. Not even Tim and Jess know who that tester is. :)
