  • Expanding system, lovely heating controller design, lots of options
  • Lighting lacks bulb variety, needs to give more feedback when things go wrong
  • Hive is making power moves to position itself as an all-inclusive smarthome system that's primed for the UK market. With the familiarity of the British Gas badge on the box and an expanding collection of devices, it's getting more compelling as an expandi...

  • Very easy to use, Possibly money saving, Reasonably priced
  • Not hitting full potential, Must be professionally fitted
  • "A product simple enough your grandparents could use it" was how the engineer sold it to me as he finished up his install. He told me that while many thought that older people would struggle, their love of iPads and Android phones had seen them reap bene...

  • Remotely control your heating system with your phone; No need to change gas supplier; Suggest features; Regular updates
  • Might not work with your heating system; Not cheap
  • If you've got an aged heating/hot water control system with poor or limited scheduling capabilities it's definitely worth looking into Hive....

  • Hive has a simple, well designed app, a perfectly nice thermostat and knows when you've left home and when you're coming home
  • It doesn't have Nest's learning smarts, and at £199 it isn't cheap. It's also unclear whether it saves you money, although it may do
  • If the idea of turning on your heating while you're still in bed appeals to you, Hive is like living in the future. It's a great upgrade on a normal thermostat, but it's definitely a luxury and not an essential....

  • The Hive Active Heating system is a great upgrade for anyone that wants or needs the ability to be able to control their heating remotely. The recent addition of multizone support is also good, and the ability to boost heating and hot water is a great fea...

  • Quick installation, easy to use apps, attractive price
  • Potential for connection problems, no Windows Phone app
  • British Gas estimates that you'll save £150 a year due to more efficient control of your heating and hot water, but we'd imagine you'd have to be fairly wasteful currently for that to be the case. Hive isn't the most advanced system out there, as i...

  • Slick, intuitive user interface, Adjustable wireless thermostat, Hot water control
  • No location detection, No British Gas bill integration, No self install option
  • The Hive Active Heating system is simple, well designed and easy to use but it isn't particularly smart and you're essentially buying a digital version of your thermostat to carry around. This is useful – particularly for users with hot water tanks – but ...
