Hi,
I'm thinking of getting a Hive Thermostat installed but I have a couple of questions that I can't find the answer to on their website, or anywhere else. I'm hoping someone on here will be able to help.
1. Is there a limit to the number of smartphones which can be used to control the system? If it's only one I think there'll be a lot of arguments in our house while we settle who's phone should be in control!
2. How long do the batteries in the thermostat usually last? And what happens if the batteries go flat, does that mean your heating doesn't work?? Could be a bit inconvenient if they fail while you're on hols!
3. Does the "holiday mode" require you to leave your broadband router switched on whilst you're on holiday?? I'm guessing so as the Thermostat will need to inform the control unit on the day you're due back.
Any help or other tips great fully received.
Thanks.
