Hive heating when moving

gadget88

What would I do when moving home if switch off my broadband would that be okay so it can be controlled by boiler manually or do I need to keep broadband running a few days past move out date?

When are you moving? Spring's on the way, does it need to be on still?

I think if you leave the Hive Hub powered on, the heating can still be controlled using the manual controls on the thermostat.

I think you are correct. I seem to remember reading somewhere that Hive sets up its own local Network.

I guess it would be easy to test. If @gadget88 switches off their Broadband router and then tries to control the boiler using the wall thermostat, that would establish if the system still works.

Hive doesn't need broadband to work, it only needs broadband to be controlled via the app.
If you are moving house the new occupants will want to use it won't they, so would need to set up a hive account and link it to the thermostat wouldn't they, presume youd need to deregister your email and they would need to set it up again
