What does Open mean on smart meters?

Power is off Power is on Meter is offline Meter is in diagnostic mode

Correct Answer:

Power is off

Explanation:

Open on a smart meter means the electrical path to your home is not closed, so no current can flow and power is off. It reflects an open circuit or service disconnect in the supply line—the switch or breaker that normally completes the circuit is open. This is distinct from a meter being offline (communication issue) or a diagnostic mode (internal testing state). If you see this status, the service disconnect or main breaker is likely open, and power will remain off until it’s closed by the utility or properly reset by a qualified person. For safety, contact your energy provider if power needs to be restored.
