Is there such thing as wifi smart meter?
Can you upgrade your existing meter? How much does it cost? Any route to get it upgraded for free?
Is it wise to do it? Any gotchas?
Thanks.

All power meters in VIC are smart meters, have been for years.
I assume by your 'wifi' request, you really want access to the data?

Yep, they rolled them out years ago, but given OP lives in QLD, I don't think they would've received the upgrade.
OP profile might be listed as QLD, but they are asking about "[VIC] Powercor Meter Upgrade to Smart Meter"
Sounds like VIC to me, not QLD.
I was being sarcastic :)
@HamBoi69: Delivered very badly then.
One catch.
Go your own research, but Domestic solar now has capacity to break the grid.
That lets them shut off your power, possibly not just your Feed in , but everything, with only one meter.Get a PowerPal. That will give you access to monitoring data. I have one and it is great.
And they work, gotta keep it running on your phone/pad/watch every now and again, But hey, they are free. :-)
Upgrade to the 'better $$' version? It's your money.
What is it that you want to see and why?
