    Hi I have Philips Hue bulbs and hub working fine.
    I have 2 hive plugs still in the box but cant see how to connect them to hue hub.
    Do I have to get a hive hub ? or is there any way around it?

    I'm not familiar to HIVE plugs specifically but are they not just controlled through the Hive App?
    Can you provide details as to what products you have?

    Hive plugs go though the Hive app.
    I have Hive for my heating also.

    I put in the hive heating with airtricity and took it out after a few weeks - a total waste .
    Just wondering will I have to get a hive hub to work the hive smart plugs or is there any other way using either alexia or hue hub

    What was wrong with the heating?
    I find it brilliant. It does what it says on the tin, remote access.
