How to take solar export readings on the Honeywell AS302P smartmeter
I can't find these instructions anywhere online - so I hope these notes help!
The AS302P SMETS2 has two buttons. I've labelled the top button A and the bottom button B.

Press the A button once to bring up the menu. The display should light up. It should show "General".
Press the B button. This scrolls down the display. Press it a couple of times until it says "Registers". If you go past it, press it again and again until Registers scrolls back into view.
Press the A button to enter the Registers menu. It should show the word "Cumulative".
Press the A button to enter the Cumulative menu. It should show your "Import".
Press the B button to scroll down. This should eventually show you your "Export" in kWh.
This "Cum. Exp." figure is what you give to your energy provider when they ask for your solar export readings.
If that doesn't help, you can read the AS302P manual.
(And, yes, your energy provider should really be able to read these automatically. That's the whole frickin' point of a smart meter!)

This is amazing! You're right, I can't find this information anywhere.
Do you know how to get readings for both energies? I have gas and electricity and am moving suppliers which is why I need to give a manual reading.

Terrible UX, no documentation - it’s ridiculous.

I was dreading trying to ask British Gas, assuming I could even speak to anyone.
Just one quick question: once I've read the export meter, is there anything I need to press to return to the top menu, or do I just leave it to reset by itself?
Thanks.

I have smart meters but they only seem to use the readings if it is for their benefit not mine.

My Honeywell AS302p shows Cum, EXP in KVArh, and I cant find any article on changing units in this display mode, any thoughts?

So glad i found them.
Thank you again.
Stephen says:
Thank you so much for concise and accurate instructions that enabled me to submit my readings. I am with Scottish power and always submit my readings by email with photo evidence, because when submitting direct to them online they do not accept the figures and always ask for photo evidence which delays payments by another two weeks!
Thanks again
