Hive - Confused!
In my previous property I paid for a hive installation to control my heating and lights.
In my new property I now have zones - Downstairs heating, upstairs heating and hot water. The previous owners seemed to have the hot water set to heat all day, is this necessary?
Secondly when the hive wasn't connected for over a week I still had hot water, without it being set to heat. Any ideas what's going on?
Thanks

Hot water tank ?Is the immersion heater switched on - If it is, you'll be burning through electricity..When my heating system is running (with a smart control system), a call to heat hot water is made once a day. Combined with the central heating firing up during the course of the day, it is enough to provide hot water when I need it. During the summer months, I just fire up the boiler for hot water on bath nights. A kettle provides HW for washing up..Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

I have no idea, unfortunately I'm not clued up at all. It's a range tribune ti150pt4eup pre plumbed cylinder twin zone. The switch next to it is on, should I turn it off and cancel my heating schedule via hive? Certainly don't want to be paying over the odds for electric.0

I can't see any reason why you'd want your hot water tank being heated constantly through the day. Ours is on for an hour morning and evening and that's enough to provide hot water for us. Hot water will last for a while in the tank without heat from boiler.Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.0
