- Select one by turning and pushing the dial
Schedule turns your heating on and off when you want it to and can be more energy efficient
Manual makes sure your home maintains a constant temperature

Hive Multizone
Multizone lets you control up to three 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 log in 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:
- Turn the heating off in every zone using the app or thermostat
- When you look at the receivers the ‘central heating’ light should be switched off on each receiver
- 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
- Repeat these steps to identify which receivers your other thermostats are paired with.
A red battery symbol means your batteries need to be replaced with four new AA batteries.
How to change the batteries:
- Press the tab on the base of your thermostat
- Lift your thermostat off the hooks that hold it against the wall (and turn it over to access the batteries)
- 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 on your thermostat – it means your thermostat and receiver aren’t communicating.

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