If this has been discussed here on ES before I apologize for the repeat!

I believe I know what one of the new smart meters looks like, the ones with digital readouts.

Over the weekend I was watching a video of a couple who are experiencing EMS. The couple said that their electric meter had been changed to a smart meter, although I don't believe they used the term smart meter but that's what they were referring to. They described their "smart meter" as having dials. The couple questioned someone else about their "smart meter" because it had the dials or gauges. The person they questioned said that the electric companies can add a device to their existing analog meter and it becomes a smart meter.

Is that what's called a stealth meter?

How can I tell if my electric analog meter has been altered so that it's now a stealth or smart meter?
