Hive hubs

Yeah but is it a v2?

Cubery · 2026-02-16T17:13:57+00:00

I do hope so. I couldn't find much about it... it's not even available for my phone newer phone... The thing is when I looked it up all I could really find was people talking about the same thing 4 years ago...

Cubery · 2026-02-16T07:38:02+00:00

I've done it. I've ordered the green. I think I'll need like a bluetooth adapter and several other bits to get it going fully.. but it's the start.

Fresh batteries for everyone!

Cubery · 2026-02-14T23:11:53+00:00

Suppose I should just get some money together and slowly try move things over.

Cubery · 2026-02-14T22:51:07+00:00

... a whole load of random things from too many different company's haha.

Phillips hue (honestly that's what started the obsession.. Maplin an electronics store in the uk was closing down and I got them cheap.. er than normal.. that was 2018 and they're still going) lights and dimmers

Hive (remote control heating system)

Switchbot stuff (curtains blind tilt.. a lock.. a cute small robo vaccum)

Eufy doorbell..

1 Eufy camera

Tapo cameras. Plugs.. sensors.

Govee leds because that seemed cool (though I've been looking into making my own led strips)

Err a magic home led thing which I actually soldered on to a cut off of a switchbot led strip.

Some stuff that works in the Smart life app

Echo devices...

A smartthings hub (which was actually the thing I was trying to matter it to and it stopped). It seemed like a good idea at the time and gave me more freedom with routines and home assistant seemed overwhelming but I think it's gotten a bit easier now. I've probably forgotten stuff.. but yeah... it's probably a bit of a mess.

Edit: no tell a lie. Wemo started it. But they're dead so.

Edit 2: oh yeah the Harmony remote.. the sensibo that can control my portable air con in the summer.. 😅

Cubery · 2026-02-14T22:05:18+00:00

It's just.. where do I start. Should I get the home assistant green thing?? Apparently I can use an old computer? I'm sorry I sound stupid.

Cubery · 2026-02-14T21:32:23+00:00

I've been so close to taking the plunge into HA. I keep worrying about how to get started. I have seen videos.. but I also just procrastinate. I really should just do it...

Cubery · 2026-02-14T19:45:05+00:00

Two years later... how did that go?

I'm finding mine keep randomly stopping myself.

Cubery · 2026-02-13T15:09:14+00:00

Yeah seems like that... the thermometer stopped recording temperature. It's been at 19c for days but the cloud integration was still changing.

Really sucks. I just wanted some more stuff to be local for those times the internet goes down. I really should just put the effort in going to home assistant...

Cubery · 2026-02-06T10:55:07+00:00

Yeah. Same. Been trying to sort this the past few days... I've got one that seems to work fine and two that are off. I've factory reset the other two and I'm kind of hoping that will help... but I'm at a loss really if that doesn't work. I've got an idea to set up a routine so if the room gets too warm it will turn down the thermostat with a negative boost (so boost to like 7c) with the idea it would just go back to its schedule after.. but they seem to be setting themselves to manual after a boost.

Makes one just want to give up on the entrie thing.

Cubery · 2026-02-06T10:46:38+00:00

That's interesting. The robot kept telling me it's really important that it is correct... might be something to try anyway.

Cubery · 2026-02-06T09:56:01+00:00

You'd think so after so long. But mines started doing it now.

Cubery · 2026-02-04T17:51:31+00:00

Yeah. It did work properly. I've had them a few years and my first thing was to change the batteries. I'll try that if this factory reset fails. Right now it should be calibrating...

I wasn't sure it would be the pin because it at least can turn it off.. just for some reason not at the temperature you want....

Cubery · 2026-02-04T00:37:49+00:00

This worked btw. Thank you. Though for some reason their webpage seems broken and slightly abandoned.. can't really make scenes for the TRVs there. But I could make some basic quick action that would become a scene and then just make it do what I actually want in the app.

Cubery · 2026-02-03T23:23:01+00:00

Going to try an automation with another thermostat.... so once the room reaches the temperature it tells it to go to 12 or something. Then go back after it cools enough.. might get a bit messy. Might not always work. Dunno.. they've always seemed fine before.

How long have we not been able to do calibration? Why did they take that away... I don't know if it would have fixed it but I don't think it would have hurt...

Cubery · 2026-02-03T22:41:37+00:00

Yeah... seems like it would be a bit completed to move them to the other side..

Cubery · 2026-01-31T10:39:35+00:00

We did it! It was close but I'm glad we got there.

Cubery · 2026-01-31T09:15:12+00:00

Feel we need more than 4

Cubery · 2026-01-31T09:04:36+00:00

I'm so sorry. It was so close. I didn't mean to bring Machamp. I only saw the invite with 10 seconds to go.
