The following Hive devices work with HomeKit:

  • Hive Active Heating

  • Hive Radiator Valves

  • Hive Lights (all models)

  • Hive Active Plugs

Unfortunately you can’t control your hot water with Apple HomeKit, even if your Hive Active Heating can do this. It also doesn’t currently work with Hive’s Wired Thermostat (SLT5).

And you’ll need our most recent Hive Hub or Hub 360 (shown below) to connect your devices to HomeKit, as it isn’t compatible with our oldest Hive Hub model.

There are some features that are specific to Hive and can’t be controlled with HomeKit:

  • Heating Boost

  • Schedules (for any device)

  • Actions

  • Quick Actions

These features will still work if you activate them from the Hive app. But you won’t be able to see or change them on the Apple Home app.

It’s also worth noting that if you boost your heating while it’s in ‘off’ mode, then the Home app will still show it as off, even though you’re now heating your home.

If you want to continue using schedules and Hive Actions, we recommend using the Hive app instead of, or alongside, HomeKit to avoid any potential conflicts.

Hive Hint: Light bulb groups created in Hive won’t automatically appear as a group in Apple’s Home app. But you can still create one by opening the bulb options in the Home app and selecting “Group with Other Accessories”.

If you’re having trouble connecting your Hive devices to HomeKit, please try the following:

  • Check that you still have Apple’s ‘Home‘ app on your device. If you’ve previously deleted it then you’ll need to install it again by searching for it in the App Store.

  • Check that your iPhone and Hive Hub are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

  • If you have a mesh Wi-Fi network (one with additional router-like devices) then try to connect your phone and hub to the same router.

  • Restart your iPhone and then try linking to HomeKit again.

  • Ensure that the ‘Home Data’ permission is enabled for the Hive app.

    • Open the iPhone ‘Settings’ app > Scroll down to ‘Hive’ > Enable ‘Home Data’.

  • Check that you’re signed into iCloud in the iPhone Settings app.

  • Check that iCloud Drive and Hive are enabled within the iCloud part of the Settings app.

    • Open the iPhone ‘Settings’ app > Tap your Apple ID at the top > Tap ‘iCloud’ > Scroll down and enable ‘iCloud Drive’ > Scroll down further and enable ‘Hive’.

  • Check that iCloud Keychain is enabled in the iPhone Settings app:

    • Open ‘Settings‘ app > Tap your Apple ID at the top > Tap ‘iCloud’ > Scroll down to ‘Keychain’ > Enable.

  • If you have an active VPN, try disabling it to see if that fixes the issue.

    • If you don’t know what a VPN is then don’t worry – this step probably isn’t necessary!

After you’ve connected your Hive devices to HomeKit, you’ll be able to control them simply by asking Siri, just like if you were talking to another person.

You can either manually activate Siri, or say “Hey Siri”, followed by one of the following examples:

  • “Set my heating to 21 degrees” (or whatever temperature you require)

  • “Turn the heating off”

  • “What’s the temperature in my home?”

  • “Make it warmer”

    • Note: This will always set the target temperature to 1 degree above the inside temperature displayed on your Hive thermostat.

  • “Turn the bedroom light on”

  • “Set the living room lights to 30%”

  • “Living room 100% brightness”

  • “Dim all the lights”

  • “All lights off”

  • “Make my lights purple” or whatever colour you require

    • Note: Colour lights only

  • “Turn my desk plug off”

  • “Turn all my plugs on”

How can I boost my heating with Siri?

HomeKit doesn’t support Hive Active Heating’s boost feature. So, by default, Siri won’t understand how to boost your heating. However, you can set up a ‘boost’ command using Siri Shortcuts. Once you’ve done this, it will work alongside HomeKit.
