Hive Smart Thermostats alternative products evaluated

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

My Hive heating control kit is destined for the trash because Hive 'retired it'. It no longer works and is no longer supported by the App. I am annoyed so I went in search of an alternative and found a low priced alternative..

    Mind reading your audience, nice trick. I've been looking for a hive alternative, this could be it. Looking forward to your further insights after installation. 👍

    Thanks for watching,. Installation is easy, It is working fine....It is very reliable and easy to use with the SmartlifeApp. Also it is fast so when you want to adjust the heating there is no Hive waiting for an update from some far off server. However I notice that a few new products have recently popped up on Aliexpress, The TUYA one looks good. (end 2023) . My main concern was teh lack of boost function but then I realised it can be programmed to interact on Smartlife.

    Had the same happen with a Wyze Camera, we need a website that lists these garbage companies. They did a force app upgrade that locked out old firmware and the new firmware changed functionality to a monthly fee pay tier. The old app continued to work but would not allow access to the setup when network changes are made, I.E. router swap. Ergo firmware upgrade is forced in order to run ip setup which moves functionality to a paid tier.

    Very weird, I upvoted and it changed to zero upvotes while I was watching the vid.

    Good info. I doubt even KZread fully understand how their algorithms work. Too many dabbling software engineers without sufficient oversight.......
