Standalone Mode for Hive Thermostats

 

Receiver - Dual channel (Left), Single channel (Right)

                     

Step 1: Turn the boiler off at the isolation switch/fuse spur

• Switch the boiler off at the isolation switch/fuse spur (this should be located near your Hive Receiver next to your boiler). All the lights on the receiver will then go out.

Step 2: Remove the Thermostat from the Wall

• Press the two buttons on the sides of the thermostat and slide it up and off the wall. Take your thermostat to the receiver near your boiler/hot water tank.

Step 3: Remove the batteries from the Thermostat

• Once detached from the backplate, please remove the batteries and keep out.

Step 4: Switch the boiler back on

• Switch the boiler back on at the isolation switch/fuse spur.

Step 5: Putting the receiver into standalone ‘search mode’

• Hold the central heating button down on the receiver until the status light is flashing pink/white then release the button. (If the receiver is left searching for 40 minutes or more, the top right light will change to a solid pink/white indicating that it has timed out. To get the receiver to search again, simply switch your isolation switch/fuse spur off and on again and ensure that the status light on the top right of the receiver is flashing pink/white).

Step 6: Reset Thermostat

• Hold the thermostat in your hand with the back facing you. Hold down the ‘+’ and ‘-’ buttons on the front of the thermostat at the same time. Keep holding these buttons while putting the battery back in and keep holding them until the word ‘FIND’ appears on the screen. At this point, let go of the buttons. (When doing this action, if you see ‘rejoin’ on the screen + or – have been released too early and you will need to try again).

Step 7: Verify Connection

• When the word ‘FIND’ disappears from the screen, the receiver status light will turn green

Step 8: Test the boiler

• If you turn the target temperature on the thermostat above the ambient toom temperature, you can then see that the ‘status’ and ‘central heating’ lights on the receiver will turn green. At this point, you should also hear the boiler fire up and begin to start heating your home.

 NOTE: If you have a dual channel receiver and a conventional boiler, you may have to put the Receiver into ‘Gravity fed mode’ for your heating to come on, as with gravity-fed or part-pumped boilers the hot water needs to be on at the same time for the heating to function. For information how to do this, see Gravity Fed Mode for Hive Thermostats.
