Ratings and reviews

App is hit and miss, sometimes it works, today I can't see my daily usage. Update, still not showing usage, and not always on the correct day, so I get my weekday schedule on the weekend and vica versa, I'm not going to uninstall and install again to try and fix it, fix the app. Glad I didn't get the EV charger, am looking to get a Google instead. USELESS.

The scheduling feature of the app is oddly difficult to use and does not make sense at all. Why do I need to schedule cooling/ heating settings for EVERY single hour of every single day? I just want to schedule certain blocks of the day, not to have the AC or heat blasting all the time. I wish I had chosen a different smart device and app instead of Hive, I would not recommend this to anyone.

I love this device. One star for you though! I don't use the schedule feature. I love controlling the device from my phone. One thing that drives me a bit crazy is that the time didn't change when Daylight savings happened. I wish we could stop doing daylight savings time, however until that happens let's get a simple update to allow this device to get the time right. Luckily I found out how to turn the display off. Fix it Felix and get 5*'s! I spent too much time trying to correct the time.
