We aim to keep you informed about any issues that might affect your Hive products. Rest assured, our team is on it, and we're committed to providing timely updates. Be sure to check back regularly for the latest information and solutions.

Hive App

Hive Widgets Missing On Apple Devices on iOS 18 and Above

We’re aware that Hive widgets aren’t appearing or working properly on iPhones and iPads running iOS 18 and above — the latest version of Apple’s operating system. We’re on it and we are starting to add these back in. Thanks for your patience!

Devices Spinning on Android

We are aware of an issue for customers using Android phones where the devices may display a spinning circle after the app is opened.

A force close of the app and re-open will temporarily resolve the issue while we work on a fix.

Smart Heating

“Error Limit Exceeded” Message When Installing Heating

Some users with new heating installations are seeing a “Error Limit Exceeded” error when setting up devices in the Hive app.

To fix this:

  • Try resetting and pairing your heating devices.
  • If you're installing Hive v4 heating (with OpenTherm), make sure your Hive Hub stays plugged in for at least 10 minutes before reinstalling — this allows it to update to the latest version.

Hive Hubs

Nano 3 Hub Going Offline During Setup

We’ve found that a small number of Nano 3 Hubs may go offline during or just after the initial firmware update — especially when connected via Wi-Fi instead of Ethernet.

How to spot it:
If your Hub shows no LED light after setup, it may have dropped offline.

How to fix it:
Try a quick power cycle.

A power cycle is a simple process to reset a device. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Turn off the device: Unplug it from the power source or switch it off.
  2. Wait for a few seconds: Usually, 10-30 seconds is enough.
  3. Turn the device back on: Plug it back in or switch it on.

 TIP: For a more stable connection, we recommend plugging the Hub directly into your router using an Ethernet cable. 

HomeKit Setup Error with Nano 2.5 Hub

Some users may see a “Set Up Code Incorrect” error when trying to link their Nano 2.5 Hub to Apple HomeKit using the Home app and QR code.

To get this resolved, please contact Hive Support for help.

Hive Plus

Stuck on ‘Done’ During Hive Plus Setup

Some users may find that tapping ‘Done’ during the Hive Plus setup doesn’t move them to the next step. This usually happens when the Home address hasn’t been set up correctly — often due to the Hive multi-Home feature.

To fix this, please contact Hive Support. A live agent can update your Home address, and once that’s done, you should be able to continue with the Hive Plus onboarding.

Thanks for your patience while we work on improving the experience.

Issue Cancelling Hive Plus Memberships

We’re currently investigating an issue affecting the cancellation of some Hive Plus memberships — particularly those that include a free trial (e.g. 1, 3, or 6 months) or a discounted annual plan.

This issue is ongoing and may take some time to resolve. In the meantime, if you need to cancel one of these memberships, please contact Hive Support.

Thanks for your patience while we work on a fix.
