A smart meter is a meter that can accurately record and transmit your electricity consumption by the hour. Unlike conventional meters, which require manual reading and often result in estimates, smart meters provide detailed and accurate information about your electricity consumption. This data will then be automatically sent directly to your electricity provider. This means your meter no longer needs to be read manually and you are billed according to your actual consumption.
Switch & Order NowBecause you are always billed by your hourly consumption, we know exactly how much electricity you use each month and can bill you according to your consumption.
Because we automatically receive your meter readings, you no longer have to read them. Goodbye dark cellar!
A smart meter measures your hourly electricity consumption and sends it to us. You can then see how much electricity you have consumed in the Ostrom app.
A smart meter means you automatically get access to our SimplyDynamic-Tariff. This means you can benefit from hourly pricing and reduce your electricity costs by shifting your consumption to the cheapest hours.
Honest answer: probably not.
In Germany, only around 2.5 % of households currently have a smart meter. Many people also confuse a smart meter with a digital meter. But even if the digital meter appears to be smart, it cannot send us any consumption data.
