Use Hive Thermostat with Smarthings hub instead of Hive hub

[Brian_White]

Hi

We have just moved into a new house which has Hive (thermostat and receiver, but minus the hub which the previous owner took with them). I already run Smarthings and ideally want to run Hive without buying a Hive hub, just by running the ST hub. Is this possible?

I found the thread below, but I don’t see that it ever answered that specific question. TIA folks.

Newbie considering buying and need some info about hive

Hi if I buy a smarthing HUB and want to control hive via it. THe question is do I need the hive HUB as well as the smart things hub. ALso would I be able to use Alexa to control my heating. The same goes for Hue any help would be great. One last thing can I control Lightwave devices i.e light switches or is there a light switch that can be controlled

Thanks
Brian

From the thread that you linked to:

You do need the Hive Hub though, it won’t work without. British Gas claim this is because they use a proprietary communication protocol,

And that conversation is specific to the thermostat. So unfortunately it looks like you would need a hive hub to make it work.

Ah, thanks.
