We have just had a Hive system installed. It worked perfectly after installation, but this morning it failed to turn on. The thermostat is on the living room wall, exactly where the previous one was mounted, which worked perfectly.
I found that if I moved the thermostat lower down in the same room, it connected. Similarly, if I moved it into a room more remote from the boiler. I tried it in the bedroom (nearer to the boiler) and it connected again. Back on the wall, no connection.
The strange thing is that moving it to a room at the opposite end of the house to the garage, where the receiver is sited next to the boiler, it connects every time.
Why should that one location prove such a problem? I can't find any large metal plates in the line of sight from thermostat to the receiver!
Any suggestions?
