Hive Multizone

Multizone lets you control up to six existing plumbed heating zones in your home. Each zone needs its own Hive thermostat and receiver.

If you are a Hive Multizone customer, to change the zone name of each thermostat login to the Hive app or online dashboard and select Manage Devices.

Troubleshooting

If you need to identify which of your Hive thermostats belongs to which receiver follow these steps:

① Turn the heating off in every zone using the app or thermostats
② When you look at the receivers the ‘central heating’ light should be switched off on each receiver
3 Turn the heating on in one zone only by using the app or thermostat. The ‘central heating’ light on one receiver will turn green showing that this thermostat is paired to this receiver
4 Repeat these steps to identify which receivers your other thermostats are paired with.

For more information on Hive Multizone, please visit hivehome.com/support

Troubleshooting

A red battery symbol means your batteries need to be replaced with four new AAA batteries.

How to change the batteries:

① Pull the front of the Thermostat away from the backplate
2 Lift your thermostat off the hooks that hold it against the wall and turn it over to access the batteries
③ Simply pop the batteries out and put the new ones in
4 Re-hook the top of your thermostat and then press the bottom until it clicks to secure it to the wall

No signal

If this message shows along with this symbol ⚙ – it means your thermostat and receiver aren't communicating.

For more information visit hivehome.com/support or get in touch with the Hive team by going to hivehome.com/contact-us

Hot tip: Even without a signal you can still manually switch your heating and hot water on and off by pressin the buttons on the Hive receiver (usually beside your boiler) when its 'Status' light is red.
