Important information about the Glow CAD

SMETS1 variant
  • SMETS1 variant is only available to customers whose meters have been migrated to the DCC infrastructure.
  • For people who have a Trilliant Comms Hub we cannot currently join the unit to their meters - please contact us if you'd like to be told when this has been fixed by the DCC and Trilliant.
Security, update frequency, if your Comms Hub is being replaced
  • Our obligations as a DCC Other User mean that customers whose meters are enrolled in the DCC will have to verify their identity before we can retrieve their data; this is all managed through our Bright App. We are able to join your CAD to your SMETS meters without your supplier's involvement because we are a SECAS (Smart Energy Code Administrator) approved DCC Other User. Be assured that your verification data is stored in a separate, secure system. Hildebrand are ISO 27001 Certified and audited annually by SECAS for Security and Privacy.
  • Electricity meters update every ten seconds, gas meters typically every 30 minutes; this is the data refresh rate available to customers with one of our CAD devices (with working meters and communications hub).
  • If your supplier has to replace your communications hub please contact us beforehand by sending an email to support@glowmarkt.com. Not all suppliers are following the correct procedure and there is a risk the unit won't work afterwards; by telling us in advance we will ensure this risk is removed.
  • Please note that we cannot support re-sale of our products - the unit is uniquely associated to your meters. If you are moving, read our guide.
