The smart meter is the big box that replaces your existing meter, usually in the same place. It is smart because it constantly updates your usage to the supplier and there is no need to read the meter.
The in-home display is a little monitor that connects wirelessly to the smart meter so the customer can easily see how much gas and/or electricity they are using and how much it is costing them in £ and pence.
The smart meter does nothing to keep your monthly payments down. Understanding the information on the in-home display may help you use less energy but only if you take action to use less gas and/or electricity
