I had a bit more luck just before my Energy supplier Bulb went into administration they checked if my meter was enrolled properly. My smart meter is Smets1 and a "Secure" brand. It turns out that my meter was able to send smart updates to update the supplier but through Secure's own network instead, apparently the Secure brand SMETS1 meters do this and therefore are not fully adopted/integrated into the national DCC network the SMETS2 meters are running on. That's why I didn't seem to be able to connect with most apps. Smartthings Energy still far from being close to anything of anything useful tho, the readings don't really match up with my energy use and it only seems to work through adding the 'Chameleon Device' in Smartthings, not recognising any individual appliances to give any additional information or even let me add my smartthings energy monitoring outlets to get data. That's something else I never managed to make full use of, I could do with finding some smartthings smartapp or something just to monitor the outlets. My main success in any of this so far is by using the LOOP app, as Zhivago mentioned in a previous post. Mainly used the Samsung Galaxy S9+ for this, occasionally an Amazon Fire8HD tablet with Google Play store sideloaded to get the other apps.
