Hive & Home assistant setup help!

Hi All

I’m new to HA, after getting sick of having 5 hubs along with all the mess of wires and 2 hubs failing within a week I bit the bullet and am trying to get my head around Home assistant to automate my home and give me the option to use different products together.

1 of the bits I’m struggling with is hive. I have the SLR2c and SLT6 thermostat. I can get the heating working without any issues but I can’t get the hot water working. It shows as a thermostat control not a simple on, off.

Thanks in advance.

I’m also happy to replace the hive if there’s a better option that works will with HA to control heating and hot water.
I was looking at the Drayton wiser, anybody have it or any other recommendations

zigbee2mqtt seems like the way to go. see below

Do you want to connect via the Hive Hub or directly (locally) over Zigbee?
