Can I change the name on my Hive account?

Yes, you can change the name on your Hive account. To do so, log into the Hive website or app, and head to the profile settings located in the top right of the screen. Once there, select ‘Edit profile’, then scroll to where it says ‘Name’.

Enter the new name you would like displayed on your Hive account, then hit ‘Save’. Your account name should now be updated with the new name that you provided. Please note that you can only change your name once every 30 days, so choose wisely!.

How do I change the owner of the Hive?

The process for changing the owner of a Hive depends on the type of ownership you’re transferring.

If you are transferring from one person to another, you’ll need to register a transfer of ownership with the Hive registry. This process will require both parties of the transfer to sign a new agreement that outlines the legal details of the transaction.

This can be done through the local Registrar of Companies.

If you’re transferring the ownership of a Hive from a company to another person, you’ll need to apply for registration of a transfer of ownership with the relevant local authority. Depending on the jurisdiction, this could be done online or at the local office.

Once completed, the new owner would need to provide proof of ownership, such as a certificate of incorporation or an ownership statement.

Finally, if you’re transferring ownership of a Hive between two companies, you’ll need to register a transfer of ownership with the relevant local authority. This may involve both companies signing a transfer agreement with the local authority.

Once the registration has been completed, the new owner will need to provide proof of ownership, such as a certificate of incorporation or an ownership statement.

No matter which type of ownership transfer you’re seeking, it’s important to ensure you’ve thoroughly researched the process and complied with the local regulations. It’s equally important to ensure you get a legal document drafted and signed by both parties detailing the terms of the transaction.

This will provide protection in the event something should go wrong and a dispute arises.

Can two people use the same Hive account?

No, two people cannot use the same Hive account. Hive is a social platform that provides a secure and centralized login profile to its users. This means that each user must have their own account in order to securely store their personal information and activity within the system.

Since two people cannot use the same account, each would need to create their own profile in order to access Hive, and if they wanted to share Hive-related content and activities, they would need to add each other as friends, which would allow them to interact as intended.

Can you unregister a hive hub?

Yes, you can unregister a Hive Hub. The first step is to ensure you have the latest version of the Hive mobile app. Once you’ve done that, open the Hive app and select your account. Tap on the ‘Settings’ tab and then select ‘My Hive’.

Here, you will find the ‘Manage’ tab where you can select ‘Manage Hive Hubs’. Here you’ll see a list of any registered Hive Hubs; select the one you want to unregister and then select ‘Unregister Hub’.

You will then be prompted to confirm the unregistration of the Hive Hub and after entering your password, the Hub will then be unregistered from your account.

Can I use a second hand hive hub?

Yes, it is possible to use a second-hand hive hub with the hive system. It is important, however, to make sure that the hub is compatible with the version of hive you are using, as the hubs are regularly updated to support a certain range of products.

In addition, the hub may require firmware updates to ensure it is up to date and working with your hive system. Before purchasing any second-hand hubs, make sure to check the compatibility and any necessary installation/ updating requirements.

Additionally, it is important to make sure that the hub is in good condition, as the hive system will not work with a faulty hub.

Why can’t I access my Hive app?

It is possible that you are having trouble accessing your Hive app for several reasons. The most common causes of this are network and power issues, an outdated operating system, an outdated version of the app, or incompatible hardware.

If you are having trouble connecting to your app due to a network or power issue, make sure you are connected to an active and stable internet connection and that you have enabled Bluetooth on your device.

Additionally, ensure that your device is sufficiently charged and powering up appropriately.

If you are using an outdated version of the Hive app, you may need to update it to the latest version available in the app store for your device. Additionally, if you are attempting to access the app on an older device or operating system, you may need to upgrade to a newer model or operating system in order to use the app.

If you are running a software version that is incompatible with the Hive app, you may need to install the app on a device with a supported software version.

It is also possible that you are experiencing an issue due to a temporary glitch in the app. Close your app completely and reopen it to see if this helps. Additionally, try restarting your device and/or resetting your network connection to reset any glitches and observe if the error persists.

If none of the above solutions work, contact the customer support team for your device or the app developer for further assistance.

Can I leave my hive hub when I move house?

Yes, you can absolutely leave your hive hub when you move house. You can simply unplug it, pack it up and take it with you to your new house. You can then plug it in and connect it to the same hive app account and be able to access your networked devices and the hive app.

That said, you should always check with your provider before moving a hive hub as some providers may charge in order to move it.

Do you need more than one Hive hub?

No, you only need one Hive hub. Hive uses a single hub to communicate with all of its compatible products, so you only need one hub to keep your devices connected. Each Hive hub is designed to cover an area of up to 50m, so there is usually no need for multiple hubs.

However, depending on the layout of your home you may find installing multiple hubs could improve the connectivity and performance of your Hive products. If you have particularly large areas or areas with thick walls it can be beneficial to have multiple hubs.

How do I add a second Hive thermostat?

Adding a second Hive thermostat to your home is a relatively simple process. First, you will need to install and activate the new thermostat. Begin by connecting the thermostat to your home’s Wi-Fi signal and then linking it to your Hive account.

You can do this by downloading the Hive app and logging in with your username and password. Once that’s done, you should see the new thermostat in the app.

Now, you will need to add the new thermostat to the existing heating system. To do this, you will need to follow the instructions that came with the thermostat. Since heating systems can vary somewhat, it’s important to read the instructions carefully and use any diagrams included in the packaging.

Once you have added the thermostat to the existing system, you will need to link it to the other thermostat. Again, using the Hive app, you can do this by clicking the ‘Link’ icon. This should take you to the page where you can connect the two thermostats.

Once you are done, you should be able to control both thermostats from the same app.

It’s important to remember that when you are adding a second Hive thermostat, you may need to re-adjust the heating schedule to make sure the two devices are in sync. This can be done by entering the heat schedule settings in the app.

In conclusion, adding a second Hive thermostat is not overly difficult. Just make sure that you have read the instructions thoroughly and have added it to the existing heating system before you begin to link them together.

Once you’re done, you should be able to control both thermostats from the same app.

You can even set up multiple schedules and settings to give each person access to their own preferences. This can be useful if one person likes the temperature colder than the other, for example. Additionally, devices can be shared across multiple users so they can access, control and configure devices on the shared account as needed.

Where do I enter hive Hub ID?

Hive Hub ID is a unique identifier that is associated with products purchased through Hive. It is a 12-digit number, located on the product packaging or the device itself. You can also find the Hive Hub ID in the Hive mobile app or in the Hive account online.

Depending on the product you have, you can enter the Hive Hub ID in two different ways.

If you have a Hive Hub, you will need to enter the Hive Hub ID during the initial setup. This can be done by connecting your device to the WiFi, then launching the Hive app and following the onscreen instructions.

You will then need to enter your Hive Hub ID when prompted.

If you have a Hive product that does not require a Hive Hub, like a thermostat, you can enter the Hive Hub ID by using the Hive app. On the device’s product page, from the ‘Device’ tab, select your device.

Under the ‘Control Panel’ section, select the ‘Add Device’ option and enter the Hive Hub ID when prompted.

Where is the 6 digit code on hive hub?

The 6 digit code on the Hive Hub can typically be found on the label located on the back of the device. This label may be beneath or around the side of the Hub and should contain a bar code along with the 6 digit registration code needed to start using the device.

The 6 digit registration code is unique to each Hive Hub and can be viewed by entering the serial number found on the label, on the Hive website.

Why isn’t my hive hub pairing?

There can be a variety of reasons why your hive hub may not be able to properly pair. If you’re setting up a new hive system, you’ll want to make sure the hub is powered on, that you are in a range of about 10 meters from the hub and that there are no objects blocking the signal between the hub and your device.

You’ll also want to make sure that the batteries are inserted correctly, that all Hive devices are updated to the latest version and that the Bluetooth is enabled on the device you’re attempting to connect with.

If the hub has been paired with a device before, then you’ll want to make sure that the hub has been ‘forgotten’ from the smartphone, tablet, or laptop device by going into the bluetooth settings and deleting it from the list.

If you’re still unable to get your hive hub to pair then you may need to try a factory reset. You can do this by pressing and holding the WPS button on the hub for 8-10 seconds until you hear a voice prompt saying the factory reset has been completed.

Once this is complete, you can try to reconnect the hub to the device.
