Hi
I’ve taken some info from another topic on a similar issue.
If you get smart meter fitted, the engineer who fits them should provide an IHD and open up the smart meter network, pairing the IHD there and then. If you’re sent an IHD, you need to call us when you’re next to your IHD, so that a Support agent can open that smart meter and work with you to get the device paired. If this hasn’t been done yet, give us a call when you can: 0330 102 7517.
See this tutorial video here:
If you’ve already spoken to our Support team to try and get this paired, and it just won’t connect, we’ll need to know why. To help the Support team work out why the IHD isn’t connecting, we need you to do some checks, which you can provide to the team via email: hello@boostpower.co.uk
1. Are the Meter Serial Numbers (MSNs) correct?
We first need to make sure that the meter(s) we are dealing with are correct (mistakes can sometimes be made, meaning the wrong MSN is listed on an account).
Where can I find the serial number on a smart meter?
Electricity meter:
The MSN for an electricity smart meter can be found to the left of the keypad. It will begin with 14P, 15P, 16P, etc.
Gas meter:
The MSN for a gas smart meter can be found directly below the keypad. It will begin with G4P and end with 1400, 1500, 1600, etc.
2. Is there a WAN connection?
Check the electricity meter and confirm what the LED light labelled 'WAN' is doing.
If the light is flashing, the meter has WAN. Please check how many times the light flashes between pauses.
One flash between pauses means very low signal, five means great signal. If the light is solid, there's no WAN.
Here are a list of questions you may be asked, if your meter has no or poor WAN:
3. Is there a HAN connection?
To check gas connectivity, we need to find out whether your gas smart meter is connected to the Home Area Network (HAN).
What is the word 'HAN' doing on the screen of the gas meter?
4. Are the meter(s) commissioned?
In order for either meter to be able to communicate with us, it needs a WAN connection and it needs to have been commissioned.
How do you know if the smart meter(s) have been commissioned?
Please include a link to this topic so the advisor can see this IHD screenshot!
Cad to account not pairing,we have had these meters for a while now, and it used to be ok,I have to keep putting the top up on my meters manually
Hi
Sorry to hear about the issues you’ve been having with your smart meter In-Home Display. It sounds like you may be experiencing the same error message which has been raised in here previously so I’ve moved your comment over to this thread which gives some great trouble-shooting tips:

If you haven’t already it’s worth reaching out to our Support Team who can help diagnose any pairing or communication issues we’re having either with your IHD or your smart meters themselves. The quickest way to reach the team is via our webchat which you can access here.
Pop back and let us know how you get on - Hope this helps get things sorted! 
it worked up to a month ago. I cant do what you suggest
Sounds like there might be some recent issues with the signal between the device and your meters or the meters themselves,
Apologies if the advice above confused you - I just realised that these steps apply only to those with a SMETS 1 meter, whereas your meter might be SMETS 2. You can identify if you have a SMETS 1 meter as it will have a numbered keypad on the meter, SMETS2 meters have 2 round buttons instead. I’ve included links to some forum topics below that might help diagnose the issues depending if you have a SMETS 1 or SMETS 2 meter:
If you’re able to carry out these checks before getting in touch with the Support Team, that’s great! If not - don’t worry, they’ll be able to check things remotely or talk you through the steps required. Reach out to the team either via Webchat here or by giving them a call on 0330 102 7517.
Hope this helps get things sorted - Do pop back if you need any more help. 
numbered keypad.because of my working hours I cannot do what is suggested.
Sorry we can’t help get things sorted here,
As your device may need to be re-paired to your meters or there might be other communication issues that need to be checked it’s worth reaching out to the Support Team when you can.
The quickest way to reach the team is via Webchat which you can access here. The team is usually on hand to help from 8am - 6pm Monday - Friday and 9am - 2pm on Saturdays, however these timings will change slightly over the festive period - Find out our revised opening times for the coming weeks over here.
Hope the team can get things back on track! 
Sorry this response is later than when you posted,I had this problem and what worked for me might not work for you.
I went to settings and cleared everything then switched back on,clicked on WIFI then set up everything I wanted then clicked on pairing with Wan,left it a few seconds then went back to home screen and balance was on
