New update - Hive Heating Device v2.1.5e and Hive Hot Water 2.0b - Android users affected by the mysterious blank thermostat tile, Hive Heating v2.1.5e and Hive Hot Water 2.0b should fix your issue.
Iām on iOS
Alex,
you mentioned that v2 is not backwards compatible. Would I have to manually modify any rules that were using the Hive?
Yes. Hive Connect will create new devices alongside your old ones. You will have to migrate your existing rules to point to the new devices. If you go to your old hive device and select the Smartapps tab, you can see the list of all apps and tap on those to modify them to use the new Hive V2.0 devices. Then you can delete the old ones.

Hi - Iām totally new to SmartThings and only just setting up my hub etc. Iāve got Hive v1 with a combi boiler and have had that for some time. Iāve set up Hive Connect as a SmartApp, plus Hive v2 as a Device. I can āseeā the Hive device on my iOS app and Iāve added it - but the screen is showing nothing at all - no colours or data on the screen at all.
Iāve worked my way down this thread and believe that Iām doing everything as per whatās discussed here. From higher up the thread, it seems that your app should work with Hive v1 as well as v2 - so Iām hoping thatās still the case.
So, newbie question, any pointers you can give me for where I might be going wrong?
I have gone through a process of adding my Nest Protect (from Repository) and itās all showing up and working fine, so Iām guessing that Iāve missed out a step hereā¦
Any errors in the Live Logging section on https://graph-eu01-euwest1.api.smartthings.com/ when you hit the refresh button in the app?
Iāve got it working. Basically, deleted everything and started again - I remember that I tapped a key when pasting the code last time (probably inserted a character somewhere that made it all fail) - and now itās all working and showing temperature etc.
Many thanks for your fast response and sorry to be a PitA - a āfat fingerā errorā¦!
Hello Alex - Iāve installed Hive and it now shows up on my iOS app. Iāve added it in 2x locations, so that it shows up on both dashboards - I live in 2 locations (during week for work and home for weekend). Itās a separate āroomā at my work location, with other remote devices.
However, whenever I interrogate the Hive Heating āthingā on my dashboard it keeps resetting itself to āoffā and 7deg for anti-frost. This is not the temperature I have it set to via the Hive app - so Iām guessing it is somehow clashing by having the same device presented in 2x separate locations.
Since it works via logging into my Hive account, I guessed it would probably be ok to do this - but that could be a wrong assumption.
I donāt get any log data, since it presents as working etc - itās just resetting to the wrong temp all the timeā¦
Just so you can see the log from the appā¦
Removed extra āroomā and associated devices in my Work location and itās now working on the Home location, so I guess that one was getting in the way of the other. Donāt understand why that would be, but it seems to be ok nowā¦
Hmm. The only thing I can think of that would do this is if one of your Hive devices was set to ādisabledā in the device settings screen. The ādisabledā setting forces the Hive heating mode to off.
Iāve checked and the ādisabledā switch is not on. Itās all working fine now so Iām not worried - Iāll try re-adding the dummy āroomā to my work location again tomorrow and see if it occurs again.
Thanks again for your time and responses. The app is great - very pleased to be able to have all my āsmartā kit in one place and working together.
Hello Alex - is it possible to include the ācurrent temperatureā as the icon for the Hive device, instead of itās āstateā (Idle or Heating etc)? Basically, in the āRecentlyā messages area there is a constantly updating notification regarding the indoor temperature that the device is reading, which would be a great ādynamicly updatingā alternative to the grey thermometer that is shown currently.
Itās just a thought, but I wanted to askā¦
Thanks
It is possible. In the Hive Heating V2.0 device code, change line 186 to main(["device.temperature"])
Done that, many thanks. Works a treat. 
Minor update. Hive Heating Device v2.1.5g - Changes to tile display for iOS app v2.1.2.
Hi All, sorry to bring up an older topic, however Iām just wondering what I would need to have this integrated with ST?
I dont have anything hive at the moment, however I was going to go for NEST, but recently Iāve heard that investing in NEST might not be the best idea, so looking at HIVE now.
So really my question is, what would I need?
Just the thermostat? Hive hub also?
Thanks in advance.
This connector requires the Hive thermostat which should come with the Hive Hub as part of the Hive Heating Kit https://www.hivehome.com/shop/hive-active-heating
