Hive replacing a Honeywell timer

[Kyjoely]

hi

My Honeywell st9400 appears to be fried since a power cut yesterday. It's showing an internal fault and from a bit of googling that seems terminal. As it is I've been thinking of getting hive for a while but wanted to know if, as well as replacing the thermostat, does it also replace the timer? I'm guessing it does but I don't want to blow £250 quid on hive then find out I need a new timer as well

Yes it replaces both.

Have you got a boiler contract with British gas? If so you'll get hive for £99 as you've faulty controls
If not tool station and b&q do it for £180

Either way, you'll end up with a Hive. A truly hideous piece of technology.

I've not seen one in real life to comment!

I speak from a purely cosmetic stand point. Compared with every alternative Nest, Tado, Evohome and even normal room stats, it looks like it was cobbled together by a blind elephant with a heavy cold.

I think they look awesome, unless you mean the original white ones.

I have the hive and am happy with what it does. It allows me to turn c/ h on and off remotely. It looks fine and the functions are easy to navigate
That said if I moved home I would replace with a nest because it allows a bit more and has more sensors , control s
Not a great deal but a bit more and as they are not a long way apart , price wise I would go that way
