Hive Heating unavailable

Third party integrations

You don’t have to install HACS to install the Hive custom component although it is recommended. Just follow the manual installation approach as described https://hacs.xyz/docs/installation/manual
This is what I have done as HACS failed to start on my Raspberry Pi installation so I have up on it as I only need Hive from HACS. Then I subscribed to the github releases of the Hive custom component so when a new version is out I manually update my installation by overwriting the files in my custom components folder. It’s not ideal but works for me for now.

34

Forgot to mention that the current prod version of the HACS hive does not support 2FA so you have to turn that off. Otherwise your phone will get bombarded with text messages from Hive. There is a beta version which supports 2FA if you want to give that a try.

35

Thanks! I did as you suggested and installed HACS and the Hive custom component, and I’m seeing my Hive entities again. I hadn’t realised that adding HACS wouldn’t mean any changes to the core HA stuff that’s in the Docker image. Now I just have to resist the temptation to add some of the dozens of new toys this opens up to me!

I don’t use 2FA for Hive so no issue with that.

36

There are some reports of users not being able to use their Hive cameras without 2FA enabled, this might be a glimpse of things to come across the board. I have been using the beta 19 with 2FA and find it bug free for my usage and the additional sensor info very useful. The dev behind it has been great, and has clearly put a lot of work into it. I think @Khole crammed the caffeine and pulled an all-nighter on the 2FA, so kudos :heart: The only minor downside for me (being that I only have a heating stat) is that the boost function isn’t finished yet but it’s in the pipeline and can easily be mimicked by scripting the stat to max then back down again.

Struggling to get Hive working again.

I’m trying to get Hive Active Heating added to my HA 0.118.3 install. I’ve installed HAC, added the Hive integration, and have this is my configuraton.yaml:

hive:
  username: [email protected]
  password: mypassword

The Hive component doesn’t activate, and I have this in the log:

2020-12-09 13:11:47 ERROR (SyncWorker_1) [homeassistant.loader] Error parsing manifest.json file at /config/custom_components/hive/manifest.json: Expecting value: line 7 column 1 (char 6)

The top of my manifest.json file looks like this:

Line 7 is the first non-blank line in the file - <!DOCTYPE html>

Any idea what might be wrong?

@itm1960. I updated HA to 0.118.5 removed the HACs version and reverted back to the HA integration and it is working now.
Give that a try.

42

Do you mean reverting to just having the 3 lines in configuration.yaml (as above)?
That was what I had to start with, and it wasn’t working. Hence why I tried installing HACS and the Hive component from there.

43

Same for me. Neither HACS or native component working. Just shows as unavailable.

44

Are running the latest HA? 118.5

45

I’m running 0.118.3

46

The same for me, I’m running 118.5, but I can’t see my thermostat. Any idea?

47

When you add Hive in the HA integration, does it not see it?
Mine changed its name from climate.heating to climate.zone_1 so I had to adjust the lovelace card etc.
Check in developers tools if it exists

48

No - there’s no reference to Hive/Thermostat anywhere on my Lovelace UI

49

I have the classic configuration file lines:

hive:
  username: MY_HIVE_USERNAME
  password: MY_HIVE_PASSWORD

In past I found an entity named climate.heating, but few days ago this entity became unavailable.
Yesterday I tried to remove completly this integration, install the custom component from HACS without results, so I tried to remove everything, included the orphan integration, but now with the correct configuration i can’t find a climate entity.
Can you explain me how can I check with the developers tools? I’m a beginner in HA.
Thank’s

50

Got to Developers Tools, States and in the entity, start typing climate. If one exists it will show the full name when you click on it.

51

Hi, I tried to search in developers tools, but there isn’t a climate entity.
I have done another test, I have another rpy and I have installed anothe HA on this rpy, after I have added the Hive integration I have the same results, there isn’t a climate entity.
Obviusly on the hive site and with mobile app everything work correclty.

And I forgot…thank you for the help…
