Predicting The Future Of Consumer Units Etc...

[OnlQQker]

I think they will become computerised to a degree, either like a mechanic connects his laptop to the cars computer or a digital read out giving all the information you need regarding diagnostics etc!

Everything is changing at a great rate of knots!

Happy new year to everybody by the way. ?

Arhh seeing as you mention hacking, Ukraine got very lucky

Inside the Cunning, Unprecedented Hack of Ukraine's Power Grid

The hack on Ukraine's power grid was a first-of-its-kind attack that sets an ominous precedent for the security of power grids everywhere.

That has been around for a long time, it's certainly not new to the market.
How does it relate to your original post anyway?

A factory we work at looked at installing it, apparently the price is eye watering.

I can just see all this technology being built into the consumer unit itself. With readouts or diagnosis reports in this kind of format KTD40 Digital Loop/PSC Tester with ATT | Kewtech - https://www.kewtechcorp.com/products/loop-impedance/ktd40. So much so you will need a computer degree to work on them

I don't know everything is changing so fast, I'm busy trying to disconnect the annoying little tune the dishwasher keeps playing when it's finished at the moment. I might replace it with a 200w sound bar pumping out some deep base dubstep just to wind the mother in law up as she lives here too and uses it the most!
