Why do I need a Hive Signal Booster?
If you have a large house, one with thick walls or live in an area where other devices are causing wireless interference you may need a signal booster to help your Hive devices talk to each other and extend the wireless range of your system.
What if I have more than one thermostat in my home?
Hive Active Heating comes with multizone capability that allows you to control up to 3 heating zones through the Hive App. You’ll need a separate thermostat and receiver for each heating zone.
