Hive heating controls

DrPhilG

Anyone have any experience with this?

€300 to install. Allows control of your heating from your phone etc.

I have my heat on a timer but the house is divided into 2 zones, bedroom and living areas. I always forget to switch it from the bedroom to the living areas when I leave in the morning so being able to access remotely would be great.

Also if we happen to be out longer than usual I could cancel the current timer and set it manually for when we're on the way home.

Too good to be true?

Why do u need to switch, I've 4 timers, one for the boiler, and 3 for 3 zones.

I time everything, to be honest there all in sync,

And i purchased 3 wireless thermostats from Amazon, wired each zone/pump to the receivers, and placed the transmitters/thermos in each zone at an ideal place,

I set the temps i want in each zone, and it talks back to the receiver turning the pump on and off.

U can also press the up arrow calling for more heat, or down arrow if it's too hot.

I got these this winter as i was fed up timing my heat to come on for it only to be a mild sunny day and come home to 24deg house and wasting oil.

I've saved on oil already.

Sorry for my ignorance here but I have a gas boiler. As far as I know the system is not zoned - can't heat just hot water through gas boiler (only from electric immersion). How does hive work? Is it possible to use this to just hear hot water?
