How to Install the Hive Active Heating, Hub, Receiver, Thermostat & Smart Phone App

I will show you step by step how to install Hive Active Heating on your combination boiler or other systems. Start with the hub get that linked to the Hive Server on line. Then I add the Receiver Unit, show you some wiring options and link it to the Hive Hub. Next is the Hive Thermostat Mini, link them all together. Finally install the Hive Active Heating App on your Smart Phone and link it to the Hive Controls. Of course I will show you how to operate the app and the Mini Thermostat.
Couple of Stand Options and what's in the box.
As usual, I will give you tips along the way and lots more.

Brilliant, I am just having it installed and was thinking 'how does this work', but you have resolved this, great posting

[kevind]

A really good step by step guide, to the hive install and setup.

[AingealNiCinneide]

Very clear and easy to follow. Thank you, you saved my sanity!

[KeithNunn-yz]

So helpful. Can you tell me why my thermostat has recently decided to disconnect from the receiver. Does it need replacing?

[davidandrew]

Great clear video, can you tell me if 2 phones etc can use the same hive, ie my wife switch heating on if she is coming home before me.

I have a Hive thermostat linked to a combi boiler. Noticed in last few days that when I press the knob in the middle, it says receiving above the the knob, displays the actual temp in bottom right-hand corner, then after a few seconds shows 'no signal' below the temp. Something not right here - any suggestions as to what I can do would be welcome. thank you

[bitesizeboxing]

Thanks for the video.
Do you know if I can still pair it without an internet connection ?

[nopescopernopescope]

MR, my question is can I have two receiver linked with one HUB? one receiver and thermostat for ground floor underfloor heating and 2nd receiver for 6 hive radiator valves for each bedroom, This to create 2 main central heating zone with the option to run very room invidualy? (7-zone) Also can I have each Hive radiator valve linked with room thermostat or hive radiator valves can be use only by app? Thank you!

[petercunningham]

Hi - we have an old conventional boiler with a very old nest thermostat which is just used to turn on the heating. I want to upgrade to a Hive thermostat for the heating only. Do you know if I can get the combi hive thermostat to do this rather than the one for the conventional boiler? I am asking as we will probably be upgrading our boiler in the next year so I am thinking we wont have to change our hive if we do. Thanks!

[djembeboyzach]

I never found the link to the stand. Have you got please

[davidgreenwood]

My boiler is situated in the loft which is about 30 feet away from the router would the system still work

[stevensmith]

At 18 mins exactly the boiler showing is the one I have,


Is that the way it should be connected ? As I have my receivers L and N double up, and it won't control the heating, however it looks like it is working, but the heating doesn't go up and down, hot water is still working aswell .
Have I done it wrong ? Or is there something I'm missing ?

[kjeksklaus]

if you dont have a spare socket on your router, buy a network switch. I put all primary devices in to the router and secondary devices in to the network switch, not that it matters.

[Louloujohnson_]

Such a clear video. If you have a number of properties with Hive in, is it possible to have them all connected to one phone?

[stephenmaskrey]

Will this work with condensed gas boiler

[pigsupporter]

Thank you, great video, really helpful.

[denniscronin]

Hi Mark I have this system but my thermostat keeps going offline? Works fine for a few days then offline again? Have you come across this before? Thanks

[Rossisearle]

Is there a way to keeping the temp on display screen? And not go into saber mode
Great video

[tonywright]

Hi, i have everything connected, when the thermostat is showing that the heating is on and the green heating light is illuminated on the receiver, the boiler is not firing up and the heating isnt coming on, hot water is ok, any ideas, thanks

[samsoji]

Hello Mark, First want to thank you for your clear demonstration, I did try to contact the hive company but yo be honest they didn't provide even half of the information you just showed.
Super helpful video.
Just wanted to ask you, which device is termostat, I mean because I want the termostat to measure the temperature of my living room, if I put the device which you called it termostat, would I'd do the job? Or I should install the receiver in the living room.
Sorry if my quastion is confusing, I'm completely unfamiliar with this subject.
All I wish is to have my leaving room temperature as the target temperature, so please if you could guide me what should I do ?
Many thanks in advance
