I had a lot of teething set up problems, I cant remember them all but I gave up the first day and came back to it the next day. It then worked, but kept disconnecting randomly for about a week.

Since then its worked impeccably.

I've requested a Mini but can't push until a Smart Meter is installed, 20/02/23 I hope. It appears the IHD now gets installed with a WiFi dongle which allows access via the 'web to current meter information. I await delivery.
