Yes I left the thermostat there. I was going to take it with me but my old house only had a single receiver (Heating) new house needed dual receiver (Heating + Hot Water).
I took my Hub with me and set the thermostat at the old house to 'Stand Alone Mode'. I then told the new owners that they would need to purchase a hub if they wanted full smart control.

Well done on that. So many people move and think nothing of the new owner and they move in and then find themselves struggling.
Seen it so often with things apart from Smart controls. Even basics like burglar alarm codes etc etc.

Just take the hub with you as that is associated with you online account so can't really leave that.
You need to put the thermostat in to 'stand alone' mode so that it still works like a conventional programmable thermostat. Then remove the device from your account, that's the bit I forgot and couldn't remove it when I got to new house as hub couldn't communicate with it When buying new Hive thermostat/receiver, shop around, I found prices varied quite a bit between different sellers.

No it isn't my wi-fi. If you do a search on here I've posted a few replies detailing my Hive experience over the last few years. (I think you can do that.)
I've had Hive since the beginning when it was free. Started with just the heating, then added lights and cameras, as they came out. A few of my neighbours have it now as well. It's just so easy to set up and use. |

Another one with hive. I did have some issues when I had it connected to a BT homehub but that was due to a known bug in their routers that is still not fixed and causes by Apple devices on the network.
Since I moved it all to my own openwrt based router behind it I have had no issues at all. I control it all from a Home Assist smart home system which brings together all of the different system I have and gives me the capability to do far more than the hive or near can do on their own. Next up is going to be to automate the blinds around the house. Edited at 10:48 AM. |
