Does anyone have Hive Heating working in the UK?

Did anyone ever manage to get this working?
The furthest I got was being able to see my devices in the Hive Connect App, but then no devices showed in "Devices"...

Wondering whether to change our thermostat to a different system as Hive is now the one of the only things left on ST

I got myself a test Hive thermostat and boiler controller intending to tinker with this, but work has gone crazy now so I'm not getting the time. I wouldn't mind having all this on Hubitat as well, because it's the only thing on my Hive system.

I'll be perfectly honest, I'm having difficulty caring a great deal though, because it works very reliably for me with IFTTT.

Do it for the community :+1:

EDIT - @philpugh @andydvsn below is everything I found regarding Hive (I may have sent it you before)

Hey all,

I managed to get access to a bunch of data through a Subject Access Request..I am no developer or coder, so most of it means nothing to me (although happy to share it).

I did manage to find that the Hive system used to be owned by a company called alertme,com which it appears Hive are still using their backend system/service (a lot of data I was sent points to alertme.com

I managed to find a couple of (maybe) interesting things (albeit old data)
Hive REST API v6.1 – Data Point - Details the hive API v6, which seems to still point to Alertme.com

the data sent across to me save several references/links to JSON files

there are also a couple of JSON FIles they sent across

I'll be willing to test anything if needed!

:laughing:

At some point my curiosity may get the better of me. :smiley:

Sadly this is one step removed from the raw Zigbee transmissions that we'd be dealing with, though it can be handy for clues, depending on how abstracted it is from what the devices actually 'say'.

Am I missing where the ST driver and modified version live? I can't see them on this thread, but then again I am half asleep.

@andydvsn Coda helped with this to clear up all the ST anomalies. I don't think it's officially stored anywhere but here is a good start

Oh, is this the one that uses the Hive API?

I was looking at this more from the point of view of scrapping the Hive hub altogether and directly connecting the thermostat and boiler controller to the Hubitat hub. Otherwise, where's the benefit?

Trick is, the real bonus of Hubitat (local processing, so far as I see this) is already present in the Hive thermostat and controller combo because they communicate with one another directly and aren't reliant on the web service. They were designed to keep working (and be programmable) even if the owner ditches the hub on a whim.

Ahh I think @dj_bayley started messing with that but not sure if he released his code

Not that I can see. I did find @dj_bayley's posts on the Hive forum, but I couldn't spot a GitHub or similar and he's not been here since June according to his profile.

Ah, yeah I wonder where he went.
