Yes all local stores out of stock. Online now says 45 in stock so going up. Fingers crossed I get one.

Hope you get one, have you checked stock in local stores?

Ordered one yesterday as said 19 in stock for delivery. Got a call today to say on back order and 73 people waiting for one. Website now says 25 in stock but told may be a couple of weeks or not even come back in stock. Fingers crossed as will be a good buy for £60. Good find OP. Thanks.

just sitting, is good enough I don't see a point for connecting it permanently

Nice! How is that attached? Or is it just 'sitting' on the stand?

does the job

Will do, should be with me Tuesday/Wednesday

Can you keep us posted on how you get on, please?

Yes, I'm embarrassed to say I found the manuals as I was packing the box away!

Hope it works for you :nerd:

found on some other website a guy who was using this stand for his hive 1, apparently he drilled a back plate onto this but other says it holds thermostat even without it, bought one and will see

ebay.co.uk/itm…GB9

yeah a bit disappointing there is no stand for it but my set has two manuals - one for receiver and one for the thermostat and everything was explained in a very simple way

got mine today, was about to buy Salus it500 when decided to have a look on hukd, cheers OP :raised_hand:

I think that was one of the upgrades with the V2 is that it can be mounted on a stand, the V1 has no option for this

I installed mine yesterday. It's a bit odd that the manual doesn't tell you how to control the physical thermostat (doesn't seem that intuitive to me!). Also is is possible to get a stand for - I can only see the v2 one for sale?

Deal was expired but reactivated as still availble C&C in some sores

I agree :raised_hand:

Hmm, bit odd that you wasted your time clicking on the deal then. But I guess if you really need to tell a bunch of strangers this product doesn't interest you then fair enough.

Thanks for this! Just picked one ups. My thermostat just packed up. Also got an Amazon Echo on the way so will be able to control hive with Alexa.

1 available for delivery at the time of writing if anyone missed out.

Ah i get you now

Well of course that's what most people would do, when I rip my existing thermostat off the wall that's where the wireless one will go.

I just screwed the thermostat to the wall personally myself using the screws provided

Did you have to remove the old thermostat wires from the existing timer before fitting it straight on ?

The thermostat.

Is this the thermostat or the receiver? It looks like you are referring to the reciever

Just checked, it says on page 20 of the installation guide:

Note: the backplate is designed to mount directly onto a single gang back box, if availabile.

Will this need to be disconnected from the boiler or the old timer

I would probably say it cannot do that as the thermostat back plate screws will not match up with the recessed box, also its battery powered so no need for a recessed box unless you somehow convert to a mains powered thermostat

The installation guide mentions that the thermostat back plate can fit directly to some type of existing fitting. Maybe a 240V recessed box?

Yes you should disconnect the old thermostat and the hive receiver should be wired up next to the boiler. My recommendation would be to remove the old thermostat off the wall and just replace with a blanking plate so it hides the holes unless you are good with plastering

Do I wire this to my existing timer next to the boiler ? And the old thermostat in hall would be made redundant?

Yes to all 3 questions :grin:

Is the only difference between this and version 2 the thermostat? are the hub and receiver the same? So could always get version two of the thermostat later if need be?

Just ordered the heating and hot water one for delivery so there is still stock

Im fuming. When I ordered mine I chose pick up in store. I got a confirmation to pick up from store and that it would be ready in 10 minutes. I drive down to the store to be told that the order had been put down as a delivery to store and that the stock had been sent back to the distribution centre that morning. The guy said not to worry and it would probably be back in 2-3 days. Just before I arrived at the store I told a mate about the deal (2 hours after I ordered) and they ordered one to be delivered. This morning I get a cancelled order email and my mate gets one in the post. I rang up and they gave me a load of BS about stock levels. I explained that my mate get hers and she ordered 2 hours after me and that I was given a confirmation to pick up in 10 minutes which was not possible. The girl started cracking on as if the store stock had not been processed in time which was not true.

Mines a combi boiler I scratched my head for a while watched a few videos and mine I wired up like so Neutral, Live, Common, CH On. Definitely look at the wiring diagram of your existing system though before you anything take a picture. Good luck ><... I love how vague the instructions are though.

How have you fitted this without wiring ?

Thanks psl

Nice one, hope you get it asap

Just got tracking info sent. Royal Mail.

Very few left in store now, wouldn't be surprised if this is just selling off old stock and none will be delivered.

As for fitting, picked mine up yesterday (last one in the North West of England at Rochdale) and it fits straight on to the existing timer back plate, no wiring necessary.

Remarkably easy.

Edit - just checked and there are way more in store than yesterday so looks like there is quite a bit of stock around.

Same here my order status just says "New" :thinking: I emailed them asking whats happening with my order as it was due to arrive on the 30/08 no reply as yet, I also mentioned if it hadn't been dispatched to cancel it but i did that not only if they hadn't sent it but because there's 5 in my local store i noticed after i ordered online :joy:


update

My order and payment went out early hours this morning yet no tracking info on there site or parcel arrived yet...... supposed when ordering to have arrived today so will see.

Looking back at my order couple if months ago they dispatched day after order and was delivered the day after that

No nothing, it's still showing as pending.

So much for the express next day delivery, still showing as pending

Anyone know what the difference is between the off tab and the manual tab in the android tab? I know the temp can be controlled via both so wondering what the difference was.

As this has a battery powered thermostat, does anyone have any advice for what to do with the wires from an existing mains powered thermostat?

Heating and hot water one is the same price as well

toolstation.com/sho…ive

Couldn't resist at this price. If in the future the smart part goes pop as in the Android app no longer works, can everything be done via the control panel?

Will this show a chart of how often the heating system has had to come on during the day? I'm trying to be efficient as possible so if this had a log of usage that would be brilliant.

I just have a combi boiler, I control everything by dials in the combi boiler.
Would this still work with what I've got??

Also just to add this is an easy install for someone who has basic electrical knowledge and can often just replace your existing thermostat or receiver with the hive receiver

Check your local Toolstation for more stock. 4 at my local for click and collect.

Good deal i liked the look of the newer models yet for £60 im willing give 1st gen a go instead :smile:

Out of stock now

got one when it was same price a few weeks ago. love it.

Just purchased, will have a look in YouTube for installation advice

3 left now

Selling fast

Hmmm. Do I want to control my combi via my smartphone? No, no urge at all.

I've already got a Hive Hub for Wifi Light Bulbs that I got free with British Gas. I believe you should be able to add this thermostat to the existing Hive Hub if you have one rather than connect the one up you get in this package. Maybe sell it on eBay for a few quid or keep as a spare.

Also stay away from the accessories as they're an obvious rip off i.e >

toolstation.com/sho…=no

i got one when screwfix were selling them off, great bit of kit, mine is heating and hot water , i just got a blanking plate for where the old thermostat was

toolstation.com/sho…507

you can power the hub via usb on home hub 6 , dont needs mains adaptor

Bargain
