Maine Public Advocate: Smart Meters Interfering with Home Devices - Maine Public Broadcasting Network

Public Advocate Richard Davies says customers have complained about the devices interfering with everything from cell phones, TVs, garage doors and fire alarms, to clocks, electric fences and fire alarms.

"We believe that these 200 plus customers are only a subset of those affected," Davies says in a statement. "CMP has already installed nearly 425,000 meters, so there may be many more customers who are having problems with devices and appliances, but don't know that the problems may be caused by the smart meter."
