Selecting a location for the thermostat
The thermostat should be xed to an internal wall, 1.5m from the oor and away from heat sources
that could aect its operation, such as radiators and areas in direct sunlight. To make accurate
temperature readings, the thermostat needs a free ow of air, so make sure it’s installed in an area not
covered by curtains or similar objects.
The thermostat should not be installed in the same room as a radiator that’s controlled by a
thermostatic radiator valve (TRV). Installing the two in the same room may result in the central heating
being permanently on.
The maximum distance between the thermostat, Hub and Receiver is 10 metres. Thick walls and
obstructions will decrease that working distance substantially. Keep your thermostat, Hub and other
devices at least 1 metre from sources of electrical interference, such as TVs or speakers.
Hot tips:
Hive Active plugs boost the Hive network signal. If the devices are far apart or you have thick
walls, consider adding some plugs to improve the signal.
