They do. Not all meters are smart meters. Many are still read the old fashioned way. Large project to replace all meters to be automated within the next year or two though.

Third party suppliers do go door to door and make it seem like they work "with" pseg to gain your trust, ask to see your bill, record your "POD ID" number then switch your supplier to their company.

If only we had some way where we could capture an image or vision of the meter and send this mystical object via some sort of series to the company directly.

You can actually read your own meter and submit your usage to PSE&G via the website or mobile app, don’t even need to take a picture.

I did this for all the months during covid because I was afraid the estimated charges would come to bite me in the ass. never had an issue and once meter readings resumed everything was fine
