In Hungarian we have the word "gázóra", which can be translated to both "gas watch" and "gas meter" (if thats the correct word. The thing that measures how much gas you are using for heating for example). So he has a gas watch/meter Quote
Leader RedBaird Posted September 30, 2019 Leader Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) O I C So the watch looks like a natural-gas meter on homes in Europe, or like a gasoline/petrol pump? Edited September 30, 2019 by RedBaird crossed-out Quote

Leader RedBaird Posted September 30, 2019 Leader Posted September 30, 2019 My gas-supplier PG&E's newer "smart meters" look like this. The older-style ones look like this, with little dials that a "meter-man" had to come by and read each month. The above "smart meters" just send their data in to the office. 1 Quote
Senior Member Vindstot Posted September 30, 2019 Senior Member Posted September 30, 2019 That looks more advanced, the smart one 🤔 We also had to read it every month. But now we send the data (not the meter), and a guy once every year comes to read it Quote
