Hi, has anyone tried to get Hive Heating built into HA? I currently have version 1 and would love to get this included until I get a new system at a later date.
Thanks
Hi Mike. Did you get you Hive working with HA? I am looking to do the same thing.
Chris
And me all so I have the British Gas Hive.
I did a Fing scan and it has SSH port 22.
Hi just found a few URLs.

Hope this helps some to get hive working with Home Assistant.

Hi guys,
I’m considering getting a Hive as I think the Nest is not compatible with my boiler. Just wondering has anyone managed to get theirs into HA?
Got it working with the API they use for the app and web (undocumented APIs are the worst). 
Not sure if there’s a rate limit on the API though, haven’t tested it in HA long enough.
You can download the Python file here and give it a test my changing nodes/6c78fac7-9997-4043-aa24-577595ff6677 to the ID or YOUR thermostat, you can find this by looking through the API, http://www.smartofthehome.com/2016/05/hive-rest-api-v6/ should help you figure some of it out. I know it’s not the best at the moment. :-S
Just drop it into custom_components/climate and add:
- platform: hiveheat
username: [email]
password: [password]
to your config.

Hi GreenTurtwig
Thanks for looking at this i have downloaded your .py file have some problems with it…

Thanks for your input on this.
I believe that error is because the dictionary (self.thermostatParsed) doesn’t contain the value activeScheduleLock. Are you sure the ID is of a thermostat and not something else? You can use Postman to find the correct ID.
Hi
Yes managed to use postman and got the following info.
"id": "3cda33e2-7c2b-4d96-977e-xxxxxxxxxx", "href": "https://api.prod.bgchprod.info:8443/omnia/nodes/3cda33e2-7c2b-4d96-977e-xxxxxxxxxx", "links": {}, "name": "Receiver", "nodeType": "http://alertme.com/schema/json/node.class.thermostat.json#", "parentNodeId": "7dcb0b45-37a3-49ba-b5dc-xxxxxxxxxx", "lastSeen": 1478797554541, "createdOn": 1473424090101, "userId": "f3ae703e-262b-4317-8f65-xxxxxxxxxx", "ownerId": "f3ae703e-262b-4317-8f65-xxxxxxxxxx",
I have but in the xxxxxxxxxx in for security. i have tried using parentNodeId and the first ID and got the same results.
Do you happen to have Hive hot water too? The API returns three devices named “Receiver” with the thermostat nodeType for me. Have a look and see if it’s returning a second or even third “thermostat” and try that, for me only the first and third ones had a activeScheduleLock keyword under attributes. 
First:
Second:
Third:
The first is the proper thermostat, the third one looks like it has something to do with the hot water and I have no idea what the second one is for.
Hi
Got a reply from the postman “id” got from it.
Mine looks a bit different from yours
i still get the same responce

KeyError: ‘targetValue’
That’s odd, it should have the target value too. :-/
The “joy” of undocumented APIs…
I’ll see what I can do tomorrow, might have to take a look at how the site works again to figure out how they’re determining the state.
Taking a look at your screenshot now, it definately seems like that’s the hot water since no temperature value is being reported. 
There must be the actual thermostat there?
Hi
I enter this https://api-prod.bgchprod.info:443/omnia/nodes into the postman and get this back.
Hive_2.yaml (72.7 KB)
Hope this helps i have tried the 2230425f-6ce9-4c35-bbd0-6ac45176955b and it gives back the same problem…
Hi,
I also have the same error. See below.

Yeah, this is sort of a pain to sort out with Hive’s API. Can’t really figure stuff out easily unless I have access to peoples devices.
When/if Hive gets an official API (they said they will have one eventually) then it will be easier to sort out having a Home Assistant component for them. But until then it’s a big pain using their API.
Hi,
My error seems slightly different and related to the session ID -
File “/home/pi/.homeassistant/custom_components/climate/hiveheat.py”, line 135, in update
token = loginParsed[“sessions”][0][“sessionId”]
KeyError: ‘sessions’
I’m trying to figure out why.

I solved the last the last error - I had made a typo copying the program file across. I think I’m getting close - I now have a new error that seems related to the temperature state.

I do have a problem where I am unable to view options in the operation mode list other than the one it is set to. For instanace, if schedule is set, I can only see schedule and not manual or off which means none of these can be set. Do you have a similar issue?
