SMETS2 Comms Recovery
Specialist SMETS2 comms recovery

SMETS2 communications, fixed.

On-site SMETS2 comms recovery for UK energy suppliers and field partners. We triage via DCC Other User services, dispatch experienced engineers, and restore smart functionality before issues become GSOP liabilities.

What we do

We fix non-communicating SMETS2 meters – efficiently, safely and at scale.

Smart meters that stop communicating create failure demand, GSOP risk and customer complaints. TradeUpHub focuses solely on communications: we pre-triage via DCC Other User, send trained operatives to site, and hand back a clear, auditable outcome for every visit.

DCC-driven triage

We diagnose before we roll a van

You share a list of MPANs or non-comms cases. We use DCC Other User services (including SRV 8.9 and 8.2) to understand whether the issue is likely HAN or WAN and to identify potential data mismatches before any site visit.

On-site comms recovery

Focused visits, clear scope

Our engineers attend under documented RAMS, lone-working and vulnerable-customer processes. We focus on comms hubs, HAN performance and in-home devices rather than full meter exchanges.

Structured reporting

Decisions you can act on

Each site is returned with a structured outcome: restored to smart mode, further action required or meter exchange recommended – along with supporting evidence.

DCC integration

Powered by DCC Other User services

We don’t guess what’s wrong with a meter – we use DCC data to find out. That keeps field time focused and outcomes repeatable.

SRV 8.9 – Read & triage
Used to assess comms status and distinguish likely HAN vs WAN issues before we attend, reducing wasted visits.
SRV 8.2 – Data consistency
Helps ensure device details (comms hub, meters, IHD/PPMID/CAD) line up so on-site work doesn’t create new discrepancies.
SRV 8.11 – ADD device changes
Supports safe addition and replacement of IHDs, PPMIDs and CAD devices with a clear audit trail.
SRV 8.12 – Trust Centre Swap-Out (using your adaptor)
For comms hub changes where integration with your DCC adaptor is in place, supporting secure, controlled device lifecycle events.
Why suppliers work with us

Built by people who’ve done the job

Specialists in SMETS2 comms

We focus on restoring smart functionality where the meter itself is sound but the comms are not – not on generic “everything” fieldwork.

SMETS2 portfolio focus Non-comms backlogs
Operationally safe and compliant

Our work is underpinned by documented RAMS, lone-working, grey-fleet and vulnerable- customer policies, plus GDPR-aligned data handling.

Health & safety Lone working GDPR
GSOP-aware approach

We understand the cost of non-comms and design routes that make sense against GSOP exposure and internal cost-to-serve assumptions.
