Entering meter readings on a Tablet
I was requested to enter meter readings, which is fine. At the time I was using a Tablet. I opened up the email, linked to my account from it, logged in and there it was asking for me to enter the readings.
I entered the two values where indicated and pressed the button to record them. This is where I experienced a problem, that being that the screen display just flickered and stayed 'as is'. There was no 'follow on' screen to say that they had been recorded. I tried this three times, then gave up as I felt they were NOT being recorded. Today I entered them via a PC and got a screen telling me that they had been received.
So why does this not work via a tablet and I assume mobile?

Re: Entering meter readings on a Tablet
Hi @Morkycat, to help us investigate the issue you are experiencing can I double check what type of tablet you are using, is it an iPad or Android? Was it the Your Energy App that you used or did you use the mobile version of our site via your tablet internet browser?

Hi Eilidh..
It was an Android tablet and it was the online site, which came up after pressing the button in the email requesting the readings.

Hi Eilidh..
I do not get an error message, nothing happens, it did not record the values entered so I had to give up through this particular route. I have added the button in the email but it seems I can only add one from my phone so I will send the value entry screen on a following reply.

Hi Mike..
Any reason why the post has been moved and is this still being investigated?

Re: Entering meter readings on a Tablet
I have a smart meter provided by my previous supplier. When checking my meter reading I see there are 3 x zeros before the numbers e.g. O002642. When entering this reading, I. Run out of boxes. My question is should I ignore the first zero and enter 002642? The whole reading will not fit are only 6 boxes.
Re: Entering meter readings on a Tablet
I have now tried entering the values omitting the first zero e.g. 002642 and the reading was accepted. It seems my guess was correct.

@RogerA You are right, a meter reading is a number of kWh, so 1234 is the same as 01234 or even 001234. You only need enough leading zeros to fill all the boxes.
