    That's seem pretty generous, given that hot water seems to be missing along with the other things in the FAQ. TBH, it was hardly worth bothering to install it.

    As an aside, does anyone know how to stop the normal HIVE app loading straight into the heating Thermostat settings ?

    OK Maybe I'm in a generous mood.

    agreed, I only use the smart features to boost the hot water. The stat is programmed for different temps for different times of days. I never need to touch that.
