Hey all,
I have a smart meter for both gas and electricity which were installed sometime in 2013/14 by the previous house owner.
They run on the SMETS1 network and have not yet been upgraded to SMETS2, therefore I cannot use them with any of the “smart” energy suppliers", and even when they are upgraded I’m being told that I probably won’t get a new IHD because I “should have one already from my previous supplier”. I don’t. The previous owner took that with them for some reason. 
Neither of the meters has a P1 port, so I can’t go down that route either, so I’m wondering what my options are. The electricity meter says it has Zigbee support, but I’ve no idea how I might access that.
Looking at the meters, I can see that on the gas meter (ThemisAlpha) there’s what appears to be a port that has an IR transmitter and receiver, but no visible flashing light. The electricity meter appears to have the same.
Images of both are below, all help is appreciated!
