Avoid heating empty rooms
Never waste money heating an empty room. For example, set a schedule to keep your bedroom cool during the day and then warm up before you head to bed.

Room-by-room control with multiple Hive Radiator Valves
Get the temperature just right in every room by putting Hive Radiator Valves on all your main radiators. So you can warm up one room without overheating the rest of the house.

Heat on demand
Hive Radiator Valves work best with Hive Active Heating. Your radiator valves can automatically turn the heating on when they need to in order to keep that special room warm, even when your Hive thermostat is set low.

But if you don't have a Hive thermostat, you can still use our radiator valves to keep rooms cool while you heat the rest of the house.

4003949_1.jpg

Control any room at any time
If you realise you’ve left the heating on in a room you don't need, just turn the radiator off via your Hive app.

No more guesswork
Set the exact temperature you want in degrees, rather than just selecting a setting between 1-5.

Schedules for specific rooms
Set specific temperatures or schedules in different rooms to keep everyone comfortable and to avoid heating rooms when you know they’ll be empty.

Open window detection
If a window’s been left open causing the temperature in the room to drop, your Hive Radiator Valve adjusts automatically.

The centre of the Hive ecosystem
The Hive Hub is the heart of your smart home. It plugs into your broadband router and connects all your Hive devices wirelessly so they can be easily controlled remotely.

    I have both the hive hub and trvs on about 6 radiators. For me the trvs have been a complete pain - I would consider myself as fairly tech savvy and not that the interface is all that difficult to use but a few would need constantly calibrating and hence drain the battery and/or not work as and when required.

    For me Hive is a great concept poorly executed.

    My experience is similar. The TRVs constantly need calibrating. They are also a pain to put on and take off the radiator. The app could be a lot better.

    Great price.

    I looked into it and don't think it's for me personally. I use every room in my house so no reason to turn it off remotely but great price if it suits your needs.

    We work from home. Amazing things.
    We can warm up our bedroom later in the evening and things like that. But you can always boost immediately.
    During the day, we only heat the room we're working in, rather than the whole house.

    How does this work if I wanted it in only 1 room, which gets very cold overnight. If I use this and set the room to 18 degrees, it will turn the heating on whilst the other rooms are much warmer, surely this would mean I would have to go round and lower the settings on the other radiators valves so they don't come on. Just not sure how this would work without a hive valve on them all.

    I have 5 of these valves in all the rooms I want heated in my house.
    I leave all other radiators off, then use these valves to control the temps in the rooms I want to heat.

    In your case, it sounds like you'd need a couple of valves to control the temps across all your rooms otherwise you've gotta manually close/open your dumb radiator valves constantly

    I want to use this to warm my daughter’s room without turning on any of the other radiators in the house.

    Can I buy just one or would I need them in all the rooms.
    Dodgethegod's avatar

    Youd either need them in all rooms, or you'd need to manually close all your other radiators.

    These are brilliant and annoying. Maybe mine are an early generation but they are noisy. When it was first working my wife thought it was the printer cleaning it’s nozzles. So we don’t have them in bedrooms as don’t want to be disturbed.

    Also you can’t use them if your radiator feed pipe is close to the wall. On double radiators you are probably fine. But with singles you simply may not have space to install something chunky on the valve.

    If someone has recent ones can you confirm are they still noisy?

    I find with TRV’s they are noisy unless they’re balanced out on both sides, im not sure if this is what you are experiencing but just providing my own experience. Once i balanced them out the noise stopped for me

    Oh no hive are going to control us all by setting our radiator temps to 25 degrees. (edited)

    Get Tado with the wall sensors if you can afford it.
    I had the Bluetooth only model of these made by the company (Danfoss who designed them for Hive) and I wasn't very impressed by their quality. (edited)

    I've got 15 of these around my house. Absolutely brilliant and are going to be invaluable this winter in not heating empty rooms, as well as controlling the heat in the ones we are using at any given time. Had them for about 3 years now now.and other than changing batteries every now and again they have been faultless. (edited)

    I dunno why these get such a bad rep, I've got 8 of them, sure a couple need recalibration every year, but other than that they work pretty well.
    I'm fairly sure these are saving us enough money to recoup the cost back.
    GeeBeeMTB's avatar

    i think there were initial problems with them. have to say mine have worked perfectly for 3 years or so.

    Work great for me but I’d like an option to adjust all valve temps at once as well as updating schedule all week on all valves together. Maybe that is what ‘actions’ is for though and I’m being lazy.

    Same here, would love Hive to provide a better interface for common use cases. I have to schedule each valve manually, but it wouldn't work unless he thermostat is also scheduled for the same time slots...

    My personal opinion, if you’ve got a massive mansion then yes great. If you’re in a 3 bed house like myself, just pop upstairs and turn the standard valves off in the rooms you don’t need heating? The cost of putting these on each radiator in the house surely is outweighed by simply turning valves on and off when you’re home? Great if you’re in and out the house loads of times in a day and want it heated when you get back in, but surely then just buy the hive thermostat and use that from your phone?

    Id be surprised if these get supplied. I ordered last week with the 20% Ebay code and the order got cancelled as they have zero stock. If you check the Toolstation website they are out of stock for Collection and Delivery.

    I ordered directly this morning, after missing this deal and got 7 so they did have stock earlier.

    Considering how averages homes are made in UK, wouldn't this be very ineffective as the heat form the hottest room will quickly go to the coolest one making this quite pointless?

    Does the room with the thermostat need a smart trv, or do you let the thermostat sort that rad out?

    I was looking at buying 5 of these from the Hive website for £180, but I can I just check that I've understood this correctly - you don't *have* to use heat on demand, do you? You could add them to half of your rads just to lower the temps on those during the day, and if you program a 'boost' on the main thermostat just as these TRVs are opening, then those rooms should heat up as desired?
    Renoir64's avatar

    They're add real flexibility. You can time them to come on individually. You can put them into a group or multiple groups on the app.
    And obviously you can set temperature for each one depending on which room it is.

    Just looking at these and I will need 6 or 8, then batteries on top, so that is £300 plus around £15 in rechargeable batteries. Is that a wise investment? Do you set a particular temperature in a certain room and it will kick my combi on to heat that room and not the others? I work in my office and wife downstairs in teh living room, so if I had both office and d/s set to a temperature it would just kick in and heat them if the bedrooms were lower? Just trying to work it out logically if it;s practical to heat a whole house (not big) or just individually as teh boiler comes on anyway. Am I thinkimg correctly and also will I get my £315.00 back in savings?
    mattinglis's avatar
    mattinglis
    Yes, if you have them on all rooms you can set them to "heat on demand" mode.
    Which means when any radiator requests heat it will trigger the boiler on.
    I reckon im saving around £10 a month currently.

    I bought 3 of these last year and use them in conjunction with my Eqiva TRV's (£12 each off amazon Germany). I set the schedule for day and time and max temp on the Eqiva ones and minimum temp on the Hive ones.

    If my bedroom gets cold at night (below the min temp on the hive), the hive trv requests heat and turns on the bolier. The rads fitted with my Eqiva TRV's stay off or at the minimum temp, only my bedroom heats up.

    I do this for downstairs during the day where my other Hive TRV is. Saves all your rad's turning on when you are not in the rooms.

    You don't need to fit every rad in your house with these, 2-3 is plenty when used with other trvs

    Looked into buying these last week when they were 20% off, but none of our radiators have trv’s on currently, so even if we only wanted to do 4 of them (living room, 2 x office, bedroom), it’d end up quite costly by the time we got someone in to put new valves on (edited)
