No problem, I dont have that issue, I can see and set all 3 modes, they all seem to work fine:
Thanks James. I just realised it’s actually a problem with the iPad and iPhone Safari browser where it doesn’t allow you to scroll through the list, only showing the current mode. It works fine from a PC.
Nice one, glad its (mainly) working
Just to warn you, the modes are a bit buggy, the way the Hive Web interface works is… odd… to say the least. The setting modes should work fine, but retrieving the mode is a different story altogether. Sometimes says the mode is manual for me when it’s actually on schedule. I commented out the mode from my code, I might have to have a look at it again and figure out how stuff works better. :-S
Ah yes, I dont use the shedule but I have just tested and that doesnt quite display properly. Thanks for all your work on this GreenTurtwig
HI, I have had Hive for over a year now but just got into HA running on Ubuntu. I would love to integrate them together but the instructions above are above my head. Can anyone help with what I have to do? It’s not too clear with what I do with the python file linked above
EDIT: I have managed to get the py code in place and think I have found my Thermostat ID, but I get the errors people are getting above:

NotImplementedError
I have impleemnted the suggested fix but to no avail. Anyone else’s still working? Thanks
The error I had was identical to yours and was fixed by James. I assume you entered the below in your hiveheat.py file?
@property
def temperature_unit(self):
“”“Return the unit of measurement.”""
return TEMP_CELSIUS
Yup. I am using the ID for ‘Your Thermostat’.
After pulling my hair out I decided to reset my config and start again. Worked first time. So no idea what was wrong before but I have now have the Hive settings appearing. Just need to figure how to set temperatures when away from home!! thanks.
My automation doesn’t seem to do anything. This is my code:
alias: 'Family away'
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: group.family
from: 'home'
to: 'not_home'
action:
- service: climate.set_temperature
data:
entity_id: climate.hive_thermostat
temperature: 17
operation_mode: off
Anyone else got this to work?
EDIT: changed code to operation_mode: “off” and it worked
Is this working reliably now? Is there any chance this can be added as an official integration?
Nope, unfortunately not. Until Hive releases a public API this workaround is all there is. When I asked them on Twitter they said “This is something we are looking into but not at the moment”…
I got it to work with a bit of playing,main issue is getting your “Receiver” even though I only have 1 receiver 1 thermostat…theres are 4-5 different ID’s for the receiver,i just went though them 1 by one…
what issue you having ??
Lee
Mine has been working reliably since I last contributed to this thread. When we all leave home, the schedule turns off. When home it returns to schedule.
I dont have to rely on Hive bringing out any geolocation now. Done by HA instead.
What was your automation script in the end? whas was different to the above ?
Nope that’s it. So long as you have your set your config up as above all works fine.
Thanks, @GreenTurtwig! Works for me Very pleased indeed. It was just a case of trial and error with the ID for “name”: “Receiver” (I have 4 such IDs)
Great! Glad it works.
The setup is still such a pain, hopefully this year Hive/British Gas will release a public API.
Hello, it looks like 0.39.3 has broken my hive component. Has it stopped working for you too? I see the following error:

Thanks in advance for you help here.
In that case I will hold off 39.3! Thanks for the heads up.
