Expanding system, lovely heating controller design, lots of options
Lighting lacks bulb variety, needs to give more feedback when things go wrong
Hive is making power moves to position itself as an all-inclusive smarthome system that's primed for the UK market. With the familiarity of the British Gas badge on the box and an expanding collection of devices, it's getting more compelling as an expandi...

If the idea of turning on your heating while you're still in bed appeals to you, Hive is like living in the future. It's a great upgrade on a normal thermostat, but it's definitely a luxury and not an essential....
The Hive Active Heating system is a great upgrade for anyone that wants or needs the ability to be able to control their heating remotely. The recent addition of multizone support is also good, and the ability to boost heating and hot water is a great fea...

Quick installation, easy to use apps, attractive price
Potential for connection problems, no Windows Phone app
British Gas estimates that you'll save £150 a year due to more efficient control of your heating and hot water, but we'd imagine you'd have to be fairly wasteful currently for that to be the case. Hive isn't the most advanced system out there, as i...
Slick, intuitive user interface, Adjustable wireless thermostat, Hot water control
No location detection, No British Gas bill integration, No self install option
The Hive Active Heating system is simple, well designed and easy to use but it isn't particularly smart and you're essentially buying a digital version of your thermostat to carry around. This is useful – particularly for users with hot water tanks – but ...
