3 ST users with smart meters and 3 fails
Kinda sums up the Smart meter fiasco the UK public are expected to put up with and there is nothing we can do about it

I got mine to work 
just waiting for data to come through
Able to set automations based on energy consumption (equal to, above or below a threshold).

Which devices do you get to control Oliver ?? Anything that reports power or just Samsung products
I also managed to successfully add my smart meter to Smartthings last Friday. On Saturday morning I got my first energy reading of 0kWh (?), but since then Iāve had no energy updates at all 
A little disappointing so far.
At least you have a connection which is good to hear, maybe they have some back end work to finalise before it becomes useableā¦who knows
I connected mine and Iām with octopus, I have been told it takes 14 days to get the information to populate in smartthings.
Still no luck for me. It doesnāt hand off to Chameleon when onboarding.
I really curious how many people managed to successfully set up this thing.
I mean, I would like to see official stats from SmartThings, but I guess that is just a dream.
Meanwhile here are some stats from Home Assitant and their integration usages:
It is nice, isnāt it? It would be nice to see these numbers for SmartThings as well.
I canāt get past the bill verification, itās having none of it. As PDF or Images. Iām with SSE.
I connected on the first day no problems connecting and Iām with octopus, but have still yet to see any data well over 3 weeks. Also support from Smartthings UK has yet to provide a workable answer. Another Dud app Iām afraid.

Everything registered fine for me straight away, it recognised my meter and also pdf upload of my latest bill which was downloaded from Scottish Power Website went fine.
Device was added and got a prompt to say it may take up to 48 hours for data to show up. Though over two weeks later still nothing and getting a 0 reading.
Will see what Samsung support have to say.

POSSIBLE PATH TO A SOLUTION for SMETS1 SECURE METERS?
I had a bit of luck on my last communication with bulb.
I have the same error on chameleon having a secure liberty meter and chameleon ihd3-cad.
Came across a website to check meter works
https://smartmetercheck.citizensadvice.org.uk/
Couldnāt detect my meter but said something that hadnāt occurred to me beforeā¦ Is the meter correctly registered on the DCC adoption /enrolment database network?
Bulb confirmed on the community site before it was changed to read-only that my meter is NOT registered on DCC as it is a Secure Liberty meter and apparently Secure Meters have their own separate network so thatāll be why my meter never worked with smarthings.
My post in bulbā¦
With all our posts and findings, it kind of sums up the smart meter rollout in the UK, complicated, broken and non standardised
As I have said before I have totaly given up on being able to control our own energy useage or ever getting a smets2 meter
ST could help by letting the platform report our power useage within the app so bypassing smart meters but ā¦ it will never happen
Smart meters are basically a way for companies to collect useage data, there pushed as smart but there is nothing smart about them they tell you nothing of individual device useage, from the start they were useless to the homeowner and tbh, already out of date, users want device useage and an aggregation not just a total

Its amazing how nothing seems to work and canāt be done and incompatible devices until you randomly stumble across one little bit if info that seems to be6 hidden from you until you decide to give up and forget about it
I only just found out that the red flashy led on the energy meter has been showing me my data usage the whole time after finding a play store app saying its using the phone camera and app to count the flashes and it give me my usage. How did I not know this before.
Love the āAdd your smart meterā notice that has just appeared in the app.
The āHow to add your Smart Meterā instructions simply donāt work for me and even if they did it still insists that I will need a photo or PDF of a bill from the last three months even though quarterly bills are very old hat.
Yup, seen it Graham, they must have missed the memoā¦ it donāt work !
The instructions are pretty special when setting up, the user is given all the brands, general Joe blogs will have no clue what to select unless they are tech savvyā¦ just bonkers
Anybody had any joy adding a british gas meter? Iāve checked and my meter is a smets2 and registered with DCC but the app still says that the mpan on my bill cannot be matched to my energy meter. Any ideas?
Would be nice to see someone report it actually works, so far Davey no one seems to have got any info back from it
And welcome to the painfull world of ST as well 
Hi Dave, I would email support@smartthings.co.uk they will no doubt want to know your post code and MPAN number and as it looks like your bill may not be being read properly a copy of your latest bill.
I have been in contact with them and they have been relatively responsive, though as yet unsuccessful in resolving my issue. I have got everything added correctly but getting no energy readings at all.
