Sounds like we're attributing greater capabilities to the 'smart' meters than they can actually achieve. They simply monitor circuits eg normal tariff and off-peak with additional ability to 'know' when it's peak demand time potentially allowing you to limit your demand at that time. Problem is it's more for the distributors benefit than the consumer and people here with 'smart' and 'pay as you go' electronic meters find they do end up paying considerably more on average than those with older 'dumb' meters (disk types). The PAYG type meters I'm referring to are the ones you use a smart card to 'charge' up your credit meaning you're paying in advance, not after you use the power as with normal metering and they don't need to read those at all unless there's an anomaly in your usage pattern which causes them to investigate for possible tampering (yes they do closely monitor those accounts).
The meter has no idea of what's consuming the current it's measuring and no 'spying' facilities are hidden in there, just the ability to measure your consumption in kWh at different rates which would have required 2 meters of the old type eg 1 for general supply rate and 1 for off-peak hot water. Not having to enter the premises to read the meter saves distributors a lot of man hours in terms of meter readers but they definitely don't pass on those savings to customers (not here at least).
