Get big savings on Hive's best smart home products with this amazing Black Friday deal

Banned Shill. Got paid to use this in a consumer product trial for 6 months and hated every minute of it. Once I got that payout I rushed home and put my nest back up. Now this was a year ago so things could have changed but I wouldn't switch from nest for how easy it is to use and program and the fact that it will auto turn off and on based on if you're home or not saving you more money.

Hive Active Heating and Hot Water Thermostat - Unboxing, Self Installation & First Impressions

Top Reviews Most recent Top Reviews. There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Expect a nightmare But If you get up and running, you'll be happy. This is a UK-based company and it is clear to me they have not clearly addressed all the issues for US customers.

I have spent a lot of time with their support team, which I hated. Here's what you do when your router won't reach or your house is setup in a way where you can't even get your wifi upstairs: Instead, they wasted hours of my time. If you are in the US, prepare for worse customer service that's now the only complaint I really have.

I rarely leave reviews. I usually only review when I have been either blown away, or critically disappointed. That being said I take this upgrade to a 4 star review really seriously If I was writing a review on "does it work" the answer to that is "yes". But this is a total overall review based on my experience and the short of it, I threw this away and went with a different solution.

What is Hive Active Heating?

Nov 26, Our editors search through thousands of deals to unearth the best The Hive Active Heating 2 thermostat is simple to use, but stylish and smart. Hive Welcome Home Pack, Smart Home Automation Bundle, Works with Alexa You will receive (1) Smart Home Hub; (1) Smart Thermostat; (2) Smart LED.

So the Hive heating and cooling pack works, it installs easily, first you HAVE to install the included hub, this is a separate device that needs internet access, don't install the hub nothing works. Once installed the hub will most likely download an update, problem is it doesn't tell you this, in my case it took over an hour before the hub actually started working, I guess it had several updates it needed?

Technical Details

If you look at the blinking lights then go on-line you can figure out what it's doing but it's not intuitive and the app, I'll go into that. Now, once the hub is online you connect the thermostat to your system, wiring it up is pretty easy and will only take a few minutes to complete. It will boot up and whats odd is the navigation. Sometimes you tap the lower portion of the screen when a red x or green check appears, other times you have to push the dial, the input method changes and there doesn't seem to be a reason for this.

Once the thermostat is online and talking to the hub you'll find it comes present with multiple schedules for each day, you can't just say "clear" and build your own, you have to delete the times one by one, each time it has to talk to the cloud over your internet and update, it literally took me over 10 minutes to clear 2 days worth of schedules at which point I quit, I moved on. Now I have slow internet, but there is no reason there isn't a mass "clear all default" or something option.

Once you start to build your own schedule it's cubmbersome, the only real saving grace is the "rapid heat and rapid cool" buttons on the top of the thermostat that override all the work you put into building your schedules. The thermostat itself displays some data, but it is a fairly large footprint on your wall with fairly little display in use, yeah it works but when you have looked at and used other solutions like Sensi or Nest you realize how efficient those systems utilize screen real-estate while making the user experience pleasant.

Now the app, it works, sure. But it's based on you having an entire hive system setup, switches, lights, thermostat, etc.

On the main dash it gives you a "hive" or honeycomb grid where you can put various devices in each. It works don't get me wrong, but when you have only one hive device it just once again is over engineered. Utilizing the app is just as clunky as the thermostat on the wall itself, you can figure out how to control the system, but it isn't easy.

If you were to commit and go all-in to the hive eco-system then this would be a functional system you could learn to live with. If you have multiple smart home products, or have used smart home products before you'll start to compare the over engineered hive system to everything else you've experienced.

Installation

Nest is easy, Sensi is fluid, smart things can be complicated but they made the app work well, ecobee not bad Hive though If I had purchased it I would have returned it no doubt about it, but I was sent a unit to review.
