We have Hive (in the hall) as there is no mains near where the thermostat is sited. We do have the problem that the hall takes ages to get to temperature so is set a little low and then the rest of the house has problems. It's a new boiler and system was cleaned out.



One thing we found out was that the manufacturer's thermostat can use features on the boiler that run the pump after the burner turns off. Hive has a "Ready by" feature so instead of setting the heating to come on/off at fixed times you set the time you want the temperature to be ready at. It will turn the heating on upto an hour earlier to reach that temperature, if the room is a bit warmer it doesn't turn the heating on until a bit later. I'd like to get Hive thermostatic valves on the radiators so the heating can stay on and warm rooms like my office without heating the empty rest of the house.
