I am thinking of installing Hive and have a query I cannot find the answer to. I have a Honeywell programmer and wired thermostat. Is there any experts among you who can answer the following questions please:
1.Can i keep the Honeywell programmer and thermostat wiring for possible future contingency use (Hive failure etc) and run the hive with the programmer still being used or if not can I keep the programmer switched off and install the Hive controller next to it. I am thinking I would like a fall back option if Hive ever becomes temperamental. This would allow me to disconnect Hive and return to using the programmer and wired stat.
2. Can Hive be installed to only act as wireless heating thermostat. I am only really looking for remote control of heating temperature when away from home.
3.Does Hive have a manual override to allow the heating to run if/when there is a failure of internet or WiFi.
Apologies if this has already been covered but I have looked and not found anything.
Thanks as ever and best regards
