Gd-1 ihd buying
in Glow IHD/CAD
I have question about buying the 3 of them from ebay as I have 3 places that lack or non working standard ihd, and need to know how we register them or do I need to pay £30 witch makes them too expensive at that point (or will we be able to buy them again as saying out of stock here)
(guess I can't post ebay links, you can search I guess) *NEW* Hildebrand Glow Display GD-1 Smart Meter Energy Monitor Display IHD
I tomato energy do not push there rates out (they just clear the DCC so doesn't even have the old rates they are just blank) can you push the DCC data to the ihd so it shows information correctly

I recently bought a BNIB GD-1 from eBay and then contacted Hildebrand support and paid the £30 to get it registered and working.
My understanding is if you join the waiting list (contact customer service and set the Reason for contact to "SMETS2 CAD with Display waiting list" ) and buy from the Glow market, as part of the process they'll setup the unit for you.
It seems one oversight in the design of the smart meter system is that it's not possible to a consumer to pair an IHD with their meters. At least, there's no pairing button on the meter for example.
Now that my GD-1 is up and running and talking to Home Assistant via MQTT I'm very pleased with the data I'm getting.
