Nothing is easy, right? OK, a great start to my day. I went
with a friend for a coffee chat and a collection.
A collection for Hubs suit from the dry cleaners. Sadly we
had to hurry our drink, well, OK, not quite, it took an hour, but that time is
short for my friend and myself as we can talk for not just England, but Europe.
I had to be home as the man came to fit a system called HIVE. It is a great
idea in theory. I must say I am rather excited for it, how sad is that?
What is HIVE?
Hive
Active Heating™ offers you a state of the art kit with everything you need
to control your heating and hot water remotely - wherever you are and whenever
you want. The thermostat with its sleek, modern design is easy to use,
enabling you to turn the temperature up or down and set schedules when you're
at home. The Hive thermostat even includes automatic frost protection to help
avoid frozen pipes. As this is a wireless thermostat you can fix it in any
appropriate place in your home. This clever little box simply plugs into your
broadband router so that your thermostat can connect to the internet and be
controlled remotely. Your qualified engineer will plug this into your router as
part of the installation process.
Small,
neat and unobtrusive you'll barely notice the receiver which your
qualified engineer will install close to your boiler. Your receiver enables
your thermostat and boiler to communicate with each other. With our easy to use
Hive Active Heating™ app, which is available to download free for both Android
and iPhones, you can control your heating and hot water from your phone -
wherever you are.
You'll
be able to see if the temperature at home has dropped or risen, inside or out.
And because you'll be controlling everything from your phone you can change
your settings instantly.
So
when you leave the house and if you leave your heating on by mistake, it wills
text you to ask did you mean to put you’re heating on. When you are almost
home, it will ask you if you want you’re heating on for coming home? Amazing,
right? It costs £199 but we got it cheaper. Why am I excited? Because for the
first time in our lives, we will be able to wake up in the morning to a warm
house. The heating thermostat we have and the ones we have always had have
never worked for people without sight. They say you save money too. I am sure
we will as teen comes downstairs in the morning and he just puts the heating on
full blast. So if we can control it, we can put it on half way when we want. So
no more cold mornings in the Fifi Blogget house.
Only
problem is I can’t find the email with the code on to activate an online
account…… The man who came out was a little shy with his information and
patients too as is teen so wish us luck? Haha. It may be the best thing, or we
may need to start knitting for the winter. X
