The gas meter at my house is more than 20 years old and the battery in it is flat so it needs to be replaced. It's not a smart meter and there isn't room in its box to put a smart meter in.
“To help our metering team understand more
about your situation, please reply to this email with a video of your meter.
The video needs to show you pressing a button on the meter. Once you’ve pressed
it, take a step back so the video shows the full setup of your meter and the
area around it.”
There aren't any buttons on my meter, but this was easily solved with a quick trip to my sewing box.
