The Hive Active Heating system not only lets you control your heating and hot water from your smartphone, tablet or laptop, but also learn your heating habits and adjust to save you energy and money.

Smart thermostats like Hive Active Heating are becoming increasingly popular in the UK as we look for ways to reduce our energy consumption and save money on our energy bills. A recent report by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy found that households with a smart meter and a smart thermostat could save an average of £140 a year on their energy bills.

Hive Active Heating is simple to use and can be controlled from your smartphone, tablet or laptop. It also comes with a handy heating schedule function that lets you set up your heating and hot water to come on and off at certain times of the day.

If you want to save even more money on your energy bills, the Hive Active Heating system can also learn your heating habits and adjust itself accordingly. For example, if you usually turn the heating off at 7am but one day you leave it on until 8am, the system will learn this and adjust the heating schedule accordingly.

To get started with Hive Active Heating, all you need is the Hive Hub (which connects your Hive devices to the internet) and the Hive Active Heating thermostat. The Hive Hub can be plugged into your broadband router and the Hive Active Heating thermostat can be placed on your boiler or hot water tank.

Once you have the Hive Hub and the Hive Active Heating thermostat, you can download the free Hive app and control your heating and hot water from your smartphone, tablet or laptop.

If you want to save money on your energy bills and make your home more comfortable, Hive Active Heating is a great choice.
