We know when you are sleeping: The Rise of Energy Smart Meters
summary
Australia has roughly 30% smart‑meter penetration and meters typically record 15‑ or 30‑minute intervals, with a legal right to request two years of data. Analysis shows concrete inferences: electric hot‑water cycles and leaks, heat/cooling schedules, daily routines, and solar inverter shutdowns from high voltage. Utilities and DNSPs use nem12 exports and grid‑level substation data; practical tooling includes a nem‑reader Python package to parse messy CSV/PDF feeds for third‑party apps and CDR proposals.
