## Description

Hive Thermostat for Heating and Hot Water Control (Conventional Boiler) without Hive Hub, White : desertcart.co.uk: DIY & Tools

Review: Finally, a Smart Thermostat that actually works. - Okay, it's a risk leaving a 5-star review on a Thermostat, especially for me as my experiences with various Smart Thermostats have been unsuccessful for many reasons. I've tried most; Honeywell, Salus Controls, Horstmann (Secure Controls) and Tado. All of them have issues ranging from simple things like ridiculously loud relays thru boiler short-cycling problems to regular dropping of the product off the network leaving the system on without knowing it. Quite frankly, any Smart System not Smart enough to stay connected, or to run-on without any checks by the system on a local basis is simply not fit for purpose. It's a glorified switch, nothing more, any addition to this has to be backed up with fail-safes, or your Smart Thermostat could end up costing you a lot more in fuel that a simple timer system. I fitted a Multi-Zone system myself. I used only the instructions included and for the most part it went well. I had to get over the gap left by the removal of an old three-channel Horstmann Controller, and that took almost all of the 4 hours it took me! I used this two-channel Thermostat/Receiver in combination with a Hive Mini Combi Boiler Thermostat. This gave me control over the three channels I have; Hot Water, Zone 1 (Downstairs Radiators) and Zone 2 (Upstairs Radiators). Fitting the Thermostats themselves was easy as I used the backplate to cover the gap the old wired Thermostats left. If you have a standard UK electrical boxes you're on a winner, just remember to bridge the two switch wires (Live to Common) so they are effective on all the time as you no longer need this circuit. Fitting the Receiver(s) is mechanically easy enough. If you have a Controller with a standard 6 connections, you might be in luck as this is likely to be a swap-out job. If not, you simply need to identify the permanent Live and Neutral wires, then identify the feed wires to the boiler or its electrically operated valves. If, like me you are going Multi-Zone, you will likely need to link to the second Receiver, either by simply linking across, or with the help of Wago connector blocks. Again, you just need to identify the Zone 2 wire to the valve, and that's it. One omission from the instructions for Multi-Zone with mains energised valves is the need to link the Live terminal to the Common terminal on the Backplate, or it just won't work. This omission has been the same for the last 4 years, I have no idea why it's not been added to the instructions, so this might be useful info for some. Then it's just a case of linking everything together starting with downloading the app, connecting the Hub (allow 20 minutes for the firmware update) and then connecting the Receivers one at a time. Once done you connect the Thermostats, which you can then rename in the app. One small issue is there is no setting for temperature offset. Hive insist their Thermostats are spot on, but this doesn't allow for local issues, in my case one of the Thermostats is on a dry-wall that backs on to the Airing Cupboard/Hot Press, so it reads high by around a degree and a half. All you can do is adjust the temperature the heating comes on by up to compensate. It's a shame Hive don't allow for situations lie this when most other manufacturers do. The screens on the Thermostats are quality. The main difference between the standard thermostat and the Mini version is the ability to set schedules on the big one, but not the Mini, but frankly it's easier to do on the app anyway. Of course if you are going offline (no hub) then you will benefit from this more expensive version. At last I seem to have reliable control over my heating after trialling, and failing with other brands. Hive has the backing of British Gas, and so likely has the bucks to back up the product with a decent research and development budget, whereas others either seem to be made by a bunch of university graduate coders with no real idea of all the different heating systems their system may come across, or a heating company who have employed a coder or two in China, once, and fail to keep up to date with technology progression. Hive on the other hand seem to have all that sorted, a fact reflected in their high scores here on desertcart and on TrustPilot. Yes, they have complaints, but I will say this much; the chances are these people did not follow the instructions, as the order in which everything is done is important. For me, I am just happy the system works, and if my internet does drop out, Hive reverts to a locally stored schedule. Okay, I can't do anything about that remotely, but at least it doesn't end up dumber than a basic timer system, which some of the other brands do. My advice, if you're in the market for Smart heating controls, this really is the best of the bunch, trust me, I've tried most of the others!
Review: Good gadget - Awesome product, works as intended, but you do need some electrical knowledge to netball it, because mine came with 0 instructions on wiring. It’s easy to use once installed, but hard to discover the correct channel for control. It is very accurate and responds well. Works with my Worcester 24i Junior boiler.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what does the hive hub do?**
A: Connects the entire hive system together and makes it available online (subject to an internet connection)

**Q: Is this all i need to replace my existing Baxi, wall mounted conntroller? I dont need to control remotely**
A: You need to purchase a Hive Hub & thermostat, I previously had a Baxi boiler & it worked well with that.  You then need an engineer to get the hub, thermostat & boiler to communicate with each other installation is £99 ie a one off payment I paid British Gas to do, I even got them to upload Hive on my phone.  As I can activate the heating in any room in the house using my phone. I can also turn the heating on & off by phone when im out of the house. Before this energy crisis, using Hive had saved me money over the year. As its so finely controlled by you see, using it via the phone you see. It means I bo longer set schedules, I can just set it to come on for 1hr or more at a time, decrease or increase temperature & just turn on & off as needed. Doing away with pre-switched schedules is what has saved me alot of money

**Q: Can it be connected by Wi-Fi to the router or does it require a wired connection**
A: The actual thermostat requires no wired connection. But it wont work without the hub which then has to be connected to the internet router. They cost about £65 with British Gas, but you need to pay a British Gas engineer £99, or any other central heating engineer,  as he needs to connect the hub to the boiler, so that they communicate. Which allows you to turn youre heating on & off via thermostat & adjust the temperature & view what the current temperature in the room is. British Gas also sells the thermostats,  sometimes they do deals,  when I got my thermostat they had sold out at British Gas due to low offers, so I brought mine on Amazon, I had a hub already so I just booked a British Gas engineer to connect it all in to the boiler the £99 charge is standard cost with other private engineers too.

**Q: Hi is this product code 673JK?**
A: I do not know the product code, I just know the Hive Thermostat comes in a mini or standard size, the mini us cheaper as you can activate heating on & off but cant set schedules on it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great hubless replacement for previous model
*by V***N on 1 November 2025*

My previous Hive died (seems broken receiver) and I found only this newer model to be available on the market now. I was much worried it'd force me to purchase a separate hub and connect to cloud, etc, something I absolutely don't want in my simplistic non-smart home. This model arrived still operating in cloud mode, however, I found a manual in internet explaining how to switch it back to dumb mode, re-pair to its receiver and voila, my water heating works again!
