User reviews

Mostly doesn’t work

Started off looking great but now it just whirls forever and never gets any data. Smart meters are pants!

Great app

I just changed supplier to Eon Next and their app is bad for meter data. This app gets the half hourly data and is very clear in Β£ or kWh.

Happy with this app

Was nervous about giving away my meter data to some random company but this app has now been connected to my meter (took a couple of days) Since my meter is stuck behind a workbench and I cannot view the LED display, being able to track my electric usage on my phone now is brilliant. Zero issues so far despite the bad reviews!

Fairly useless

Seems a fairly useless app - signed up a couple of months ago but for some reason the homepage still tells me it’ll be another 48 hours. The data is there when you move onto the other tabs - but it’s incorrect.

Great app

I moved to Eon more than 3 months ago and still have received no statements and the Eon app does not work which is really irritating my electrical consumption control freakery. This app is my sanity saver - and it’s free, thanks team. I have deducted one star as the graphs are taller than my iPad screen so I have to scroll around to see the full picture, and I think more could be done with the data (exports for instance). EDIT: I have discovered that if you open the app, the graph bars will be too tall to see on screen, but if you go out of the app and back in, they will magically rescale to fit the screen.

FAQ

What does the Bright app do?

The Bright app allows you to monitor your electricity and gas consumption in real-time from your smart meters. It helps you manage your energy usage and spend more efficiently, aiming to support carbon reduction efforts.

What hardware do I need to use Bright?

For real-time data, you need Glowmarkt compatible hardware, which can work with either smart or traditional meters. SMETS2 (or E&A SMETS 1) meters can access half-hourly data for free after verification. Clamp-on technology sensors can also support electricity usage monitoring.

Is the Bright app free to use?

Yes, people with SMETS2 (or E&A SMETS 1) meters can access their half-hourly data with Bright for free after completing a verification process. The app itself is free to download and use.

How can I access my smart meter data with Bright?

You can check your energy consumption, including electricity and gas usage, via the DCC or our Consumer Access Device (CAD). Clamp-on technology sensors are also supported for electricity monitoring.

Where can I find more information or get support?
