    I got 2 smart switches for the immersion and for the heating. Both stopped working on me after a few months. Replaced both and now they are both gone again. See type below. We have a standard oil boiler and a standard immersion. Does anyone know what I can replace my smart system with - does Hive work with Oil.

    Hive works with our oil system flawlessly. We are zoned for upstairs, downstairs and hot water so needed two hive thermostats. I also installed a hive for the in-laws gas heating - single heating zone and separate hot water so one thermostat was sufficient. Also working flawlessly.

    Thanks for taking the time to reply. And apologies about my ignorance. My electrician thinks we have 2 heating zones and hot water . But he is not sure if the heating is split - work was done by a plumber before we moved in ages ago. So I just need to get a hive thermostat and attach this to how water. And then a second one and put this where the controls for the heating are?
