hello richard,
yes there is an IOS app for the british gas smart meters.
we had both gas and electricity smart meters fitted last spring and were
very lucky as up until then there was only a wireless display fitted in your
home, but when the engineers arrived they said to us as of yesterday there
is a newmethod of accessing your readings we can now fit a mini router
instead of a wireless display that will transmit everything to your apple
devices and that if we would prefer to have that they would install that
instead although they admitted we would be their guineapigs.
we had the router installed and there was some minor problems getting it
installed but that was because they had never installed one before.
once up and running it has worked fine apart from one update to the app
which caused everyone to uninstall the app and re-install it again to get
things working again, but from an accessibility prospective it all works
nicely with voiceover.
pete.

I'm trying to ascertain whether there is an iOs app to allow blind people to
obtain readings from gas/electricity meters, and, if so, whether meters
issued by any particular company are more usable than others.
I've been offered a meter from British Gas.
