which hive for 2 x heating zones? (upstairs and downstairs)

vde-electrician · Mar 22, 2024

i , i have a property to work on which has a programmable room stat upstairs and a programmable roomstat downstairs. S plan system , 2 zones.
hot water is just straight from the combi. Haven't wired a hive for a while, and not up to date with their current versions. The customer requires control of the zones independently and have facility also to do it remotely from a different location. What is the best setup for this and what product do i need please? Time served electrician, just need advice on the products , thank you

If it’s a combi and you want complete independance of the heating zones then you will need two single channel Hive’s

will the hives interfere with one another? and also will they both work correctly on the app? cheers

They won’t interfere with one another, you can have multiple hives on the same system. Pair them up individually by putting one receiver onto the back plate at a time.

Pair one of them up initially and give it a designation/name i.e. upstairs heating. Then slot the other receiver onto the back plate and put the hub back into search mode and pair that one up and name it.
