Your smart meter is very secure (against you) and very insecure (against hackers)

Wouldn’t it be possible to install your own meter (smart or otherwise) between the circuit breaker and the power company’s meter? I could think of several advantages to this, first being that the power company couldn’t regulate how you use your power. From their perspective, it would be either on or off. Secondly, you’d have a way to dispute any irregularities that arise with their meters.

It doesn’t even seem like it would cost all that much. But then, I’m not a home owner. I could be missing something.
