[Q] Hack of Electricity Meter (GENUS) ??

Hello Guys,

It is a wonderful place to discuss and find many solutions to complicated problems. In respect of which I was going through this thread:-

https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=1290368

Post#4 shows some kind of relay which I'm unable to understand.
A few solutions are also provided by @xZero707 bro, on Post#63 but unfortunately I didn't understood those too.____

Ok, coming to my case. In my house the electricity guys installed a Genus Single Phase Digital Electricity meter. Here are the details :-

Installed Image of Meter from my house :-

Also Complete Meter Details :-

Now, the problem is the meter is Sealed completely. They have sealed the meter with Blue Seal and in bottom terminals with Red Seal. Moreover they put M-Seal in the Input Terminal to the meter, so that Jumper Method will not work.

So, I can't even touch the meter in any sense. And the meter is so Fast, that you can't even imagine. Is there any way to hack this type of meter ?

Please help to find me a way to bypass or Slow this meter down. All inputs are welcome.

Regards
PK

Hi,
thanks for your input. Bro, this is a Digital Meter. Upside Down concept will not work, according to me. Moreover I can't even Cut mains cable. Its against Electricity Laws. I could be fined for that legally. :(

Sir, I don't understand its relation with IEC 62056-21.
I live in India (New Delhi). Here in Delhi, meters are digital but they don't communicate to the Distribution Company directly. A meter reader comes to take reading monthly physically to our house using this type of reader.

He attach this reader cable to the meter middle Black Panel and takes reading. The electricity Distribution company has no control over the meter remotely.

Here I need any type of hack or bypassing method to slow or turn it off using some kind of relays or so ? Possible?

Thanks for your valuable inputs.

Hmm, yes meter is digital. But can't touch Input cable. Its made up of very High Quality Insulated material. So there is no other way out ?

If you try to fuck with it, your insurance won't cover any damage (house fire or so).

And they can read out information, if they check it and find something unusual there will be consequences like a
penalty, which is high.

Greets :)

Hey,

Are you residing in Delhi? Are you a electrician? Isn't there any type of Magnetic or Electric Coils which can be used to stop this meter without breaking its seal from outside?
I know its illegal but still I want to try it.

Thank you

I don't know about Faraday's cage, but I can't remove seal as it is registered and recorded in distribution company's records.
Digital meters wont go backwards or stop. The only way to get around it is bypassing it. (Source: Meter Man)

I catch theft ALL the time and I would not suggest doing it (unless of course i am your meter guy because I get a nice bonus for reporting theft)

Edit: Oh also most meters now-a-days send a signal right to the utility when its disconnected.
Hey guys any hack on this new meter GENUS (as shown in the pic) its making me go nuts for days now to find hacking trick to slow down/stop this fast pace meter 😠

Let me know if there is any other trick apart from bypassing the meter.
I want solution for same dear' is there any device to do so
