Hive Active Heating V3

Hi,

I have an existing single zone Hive setup. I'm changing it to a 3 zone (2 heating/1 water) setup (with the necessary plumbing adjustments etc). When looking up the cost of the additional HIVE pieces, I came across a Hive Active Heating V3 on the screwfix site. The receiver/hub looks a little different to the V2 one. I can't find reference to V3 anyway including the HIVE site. Has anyone come across the V3 one? What are the differences compared to the V2 one?

Thanks,

Changes are mainly how it looks, slightly smaller, thermostat is touch screen rather than 3 buttons, receiver is easier materials to keep clean, plus the lights on the receiver are now integrated with the buttons.

Its all compatible with what you currently have.

Great, thanks!

I reckon this is what I have already: https://www.screwfix.ie/p/hive-active-heating-thermostat/4632j. (its a conventional boiler with separate hot water tank but HIVE doesn't control the hot water). So looks like https://www.screwfix.ie/p/hive-active-heating-hot-water-smart-thermostat/550hg might do the trick to add to what I have already. Looks like its V2 but that is fine with me.
