Flipper Zero Kills Smart Meter?? - Reverse Engineering News - June 13th 2023 

Peter wasn't expecting you lol

1) Bunny is a legend!

Absolutely loved this video, the news segments and the dry humor. Don't ever change!

Did he just say "Chooch"?

An other way to debunk that he was using the meter to control the power is that even if the meter has a disconnect relay in it the meter will still be powered up and the display will be on when it disconnects service. The meter get's it's power from the line side of the meter socket prior to any measurement or disconnection circuits so that the meter doesn't measure the power required to run itself and so that if the service is disconnected the meter is powered up to listen for the signal to reconnect the power.

Great episode Hash - appreciate you boiling things down for us - concise and enjoyable - nice work!! Keep it up!

Great format, good information, and no flashy noise/junk for the intro or outro. Subscribed!

Thank you for reporting on using IR to look through silicon. I absolutely enjoy viewing silicon chips through a microscope but find it tough to find viewable specimens. Im going to study his paper and give it a try.

love these news segments, keep up the good work!

Absolutely loving the new News segment! ❤

I work on testing those old elster meters and me and my coworkers immediately knew it was fake since even if you did disconnect service to someone's house, the display should still be on. And like you said that particular meter doesn't even have a relay, as we noticed from the 6th field in the style number.

This news segment you're doing is incredibly good. Very entertaining. Thanks.

Yes, a Peter Fairlie video (not the one in your segment) was the one I had pointed out. Although, I will admit, I believed he was actually controlling or resetting the meter with his Flipper Zero.

In New Zealand the extra contacts are used to turn off the water heaters and "Night store" heaters in houses to shed load during peak load times, though they are almost never used by the power supplier. Usually on a seperate meter than the main house meter, they charge you a lower kwh rate for having it setup.

You do a good job of seeing through the haze and calling things out for what they are!

First video I have seen on your channel. I suspect that you've just earned a sub.

Thank you for finally exposing that last one; I have a Flipper Zero and was experimenting after seeing that video thinking, wow, I have a Flipper, I wonder if I...

When I was a kid I used my dads camera and the IR feature to see in the dark and troll my friend. I noticed I could see through silicon when I looked at my see through game boy colour chips. I didnt realize this was an undiscovered thing. Imagine how many people have seen something similar not understanding no one seen or noticed it before?

You're actually quite good at this news show stuff, I'm liking the humour. 😉

Love your channel!
