The app is very convenient and the service representatives very helpful when you need to speak to someone for advice or problem solving. My only criticism is that the EV charger can only be registered to one person's HIVE account, even if two people are on the gas and electric.

Largely, very good
Links several parts of the CH system together very well. Gives better, timed, control over parts of that house that don’t need heating at different times of the day.
We also like the holiday mode, allowing off and on again to suit departure/arrival times.
Sadly the system was initially flaky and needs floor by floor boosters in order to maintain connection. Not a show stopper, but extra complication.
Somewhat lengthy process to fix things when connection lost, but this can usually be done through the App.
Some sort of admin error has resulted in our house having 2 accounts so features only work on one. Usual hassle getting the accounts merged. Frustrating!
So, great when it works. Hassle when it doesn’t (which isn’t that often, to be fair).

Doesn’t work. Hasn’t since it’s been installed at my mother’s. I will need to move it to reconnect,

Hi Amanda,
Thank you for your review — I’m sorry to hear you’ve been experiencing connection issues. Reliable connectivity is essential for Hive devices, and we’d love to help you get everything working smoothly. It appears the reason your devices are intermittently going offline is due to poor signal strength.
Hive systems use Zigbee technology, which relies on a strong wireless link between your Hub, receiver, and thermostat. Occasional dropouts can often be related to placement or interference. Here are a few tips to improve stability:
✅ Hive Hub Placement: Position the Hub at least 1 metre off the ground, away from metal, glass, or large furniture.
✅ Reduce Interference: Keep the Hub away from TVs, gaming consoles, or routers to minimize signal disruption.
✅ Line of Sight: Where possible, maintain clear positioning between devices for better connectivity.
If the issue persists, a Hive Signal Booster can help strengthen communication between your Hub and thermostat, especially in larger homes or those with thick walls.
If you’re using a Hive Hub 3, you also have the option to connect it via Wi‑Fi instead of Ethernet, which may allow for better positioning:
Open the Hive app → Manage → Devices → Hub → Change Wi‑Fi, then follow the on‑screen steps.
Please note that Hive Hub Nano 3 supports 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi only and isn’t compatible with 5 GHz networks.
We’ll be happy to follow up — but please note that these replies aren’t picked up as quickly as our dedicated support channels. If your issue is urgent, we strongly recommend contacting us directly.

Hi Julie, thank you for the 5 star review, but I'm afraid I can't take any credit for your experience. I think you may have left your review in the wrong place. We're a smart home company and even though I've popped it into the suggestion box on multiple occasions, the powers that be won't let me have any beer in the office.
Kind regards, Paul
