My energy provider keeps hassling me to get a smart meter installed. Should I? (self.askuk)

I've been very hesitant to get one installed as I've heard nothing but horror stories.

I didn't want one, but to get cheap power for my EV, it was the only option.

The smart meter display they provided, gave wrong costing from day one because it doesn't do the night rate. There is no update, so half it's use was never there. I setup my own metering that works. If their was open source, I'd have at least looked at fixing it. I count their's as e-waste at birth right now.
