How to install Hive TRV Valve 

Brilliant video, thank you, you have given me the confidence to fit valves on my radiators. I’m 70 years young but fiercely independent and love tackling little jobs round the house.

Probably the best video on hive thermostat/app/ Alexa I’ve seen so far!! Thanks

Many thanks fella Couldn’t get The TRV to pair with the app till you showed me how to. Much appreciated

Thank you, really helpful and detailed video, will definitely help me installing and setting up my Hive smart system.

Really good video - going to try setting mine up tonight.

Just got 5 of these. Really helpful video 🙂

Great Video love the Jarma Bottoms, im setting 10 up tomorrow

Fantastic video. I’ll be installing Hive TRVs this week and will use this is my guide. Thank you so much!

Thanks for the help. Have just installed 2, now waiting for them to calibrate. Fingers crossed. If all goes well will invest in some more and do the rest of the house

Great video. I’ve taken the plunge and ordered 18 of these, so seeing someone else set theirs up is very handy. Thanks

Thank you.. this is so helpful.

Fair play, great video. I'll be attempting this tomorrow!

Thank you, brilliant vid

Brilliant explanation.. 👍🏻…gonna give it a go today.. I’ll let you know how it goes 🤞

Most helpful thank you 👍

Great very clear advice thanks

Thanks for the reply, note thermostat device button is stiff. But it works.

Brilliant video thanks

Thank you, this is by far the best explanation I've seen. Not only for the TVR but also the Hive app and Amazon app. Spot on.

Thanks buddy Im gonna get one of these for the baby's room

Liked the reset of the device to get it paired... couldn't get a second hand one to pair with my hub

Very helpful

Excellent

Great content. I noted and appreciated the small touches like muting and not saying "her voice" (even though I don't have an Alexa) and the highlighting in the device videos.

Creating scenes info very useful - I could not figure it out 😅

Hi Did you have to remove a thread on the adapter you used? I tried to fit it without removing the thread and it would not fit.

Thank you

Question can you use rechargeable batteries in the smart thermostat valves.

do you need any other hive devices for this? such as the hive central heating control etc?

Hi anyone know how to remove the RA adaptor from the hive thermostat, i have accidently screwed it on and its not the one i need and cant seem to remove it? any advice would be good? cheers

Just recently had a new boiler fitted along with Hive. The valve on one of my radiators vibrates quite quickly and the noise it makes gets transmitted through the whole system. Seems to happen when the rad temperature approaches the heating temp. Stopping the rad valve will stop the vibrations. Other radiators are no problem. Pin on the valve body seems free. Any idea whats goi g on and a cure? Thanks.

thank you very Informative. Have you suffered with the Hive TRV not working correctly too cold or too Hot as lots of folks seem to be having issues. I'm considering purchasing however seem a bit reluctant with some of the highlighted issues?

Thanks, really useful! Can valve's, and particularly Hive TVR ones be installed on any radiator, mine are 22 years old

Purchased 3 and bit nervous about installing, but this gives me confidence! I'll let you know how I get on. 😄

Can you have more than one rad with a valve in a room?

great video. will this work to erve only turning on 1 rad in my house as opposed to all of them. zone specific

Thank you for posting this video online. I have a two questions: 1) Do you know how you get the M30 adapter off the TRV? I'm struggling to get the TRV off the radiator again as no much to grip and once I did get it off, I couldn't unscrew the adapter. 2) Do you have Hive Active Heating? I do...I currently have 2 zones - upstairs and downstairs. I'm looking to use my TRV to control one room over the garage but when the TRV calls for heat (linked to upstairs thermo with heat on demand enables), all the upstairs radiators come on, which kinda defeats the purpose of only wanting to heat a single room. How do you have yours setup?

Hello, nice video, just one thing how long do the batteries last? Cheers!

nice vid. you do however need to go into the setting and tell it that the valve is on its side. helps it calibrate better.

How do you calibrate them? I’ve just installed 6 of them and have no idea on how do calibrate them. Can’t find anything online either. Do I set my thermostat to manual, do I leave it off, do I boost it, what temp do I set it at. There’s literally nothing out there to explain this.

Hey, great video - I've read online that a lot of people are having issues with these - is that something you've experienced?

Great video! Thanks! Can you give permission to other members of your family to specific trvs? So the wife permission to the bedroom but not the batcave or the kids only access to their own rooms?

What's the Allen key for plz.

Hello, I bought 5 of these back in Oct. I have lost count the amount of times I’ve rung Hive as only one of them has calibrated and my heating has been on for hours on end to try get them to calibrate. When I do select calibrate while my heating is on, the TRV radiators are freezing until you remove the TRV and then instantly the radiator (with no valve on) heats instantly. Any advise as I’m loosing the will now :(

I have followed your instructions. All 5 valves are calibrated but when I try to boost 2 rads downstairs the boiler does not come on..even if I raise the temp on the valves...any help would be appreciated

I couldn't spot the main thermostat on your hive app, did you have to turn it on to get the Radiator working?

eventually got the covers off to fit batteries .. not easy with old fingers and thumbs! I've fitted 5 today managed to set a couple of scenes and schedules ....but one valve is saying low batteries .. i've done the reset several times... put new batteries in (even though I used the ones in the box originally) but still alerting low batteries.. any idea what I could do?

Do these TRVs work purely from an app and do they not require a hub like some other brands of TRV ? I'm wanting smart TRVs but want to keep it simple without a hub

Forgot to mention TRV valves were set higher than the rooms to test

Click ones , screen will light up showing is searching. Add device through application on your phone. Wait till find it. Done.

hi, can you expand on why holding it until screen flashes 4 times when installing batteries?

Can you add it to a radiator that has spring loaded TRVs? Thanks

Hi how is it best to run. I.e. have your thermostat on manual or schedule?

It would be good if these things actually worked... I installed one in the bedroom and selected to calibrate the thing and it did nothing at all and now doesn't get to any temperature

How do you unscrew the hive thermostat valve device?

When removing the old TRV does it matter if it is open or closed fully.

Help, for some reason my alexa won't pick up my valves. Do you have any idea why?

If I only have one of this , will my system still work as normal everywhere else?...... tia

I am having a problem getting my hive sensors to calibrate. One has calibrated successfully but the other two haven't yet. I click the "Calibrate Now' button on the hive app and it tries to calibrate but does not complete the calibration successfully. Can anyone help please? Thanks, Mick

the valve should have been parallel to the wall where it cant get damaged

Seriously the 4th time of flashing? Why so complex? Regardless I will try it :P

Do these require a Hive hub?

Have you herd the latest on TRV the latest one have a software issue and was told it will be 3 to 4 weeks before hive have a fix! Just bought 4 and they do not work.

TVR IS A MOTORCAR? Do you mean TRV

Couldn’t get out of your pj’s then!

TRV Thermostatic Radiator Valve. Not a TVR. That's a sports car brand.

7:10 TRV, Thermostatic Radiator Valve it's not a fucking sports car built by Trevor, tit-end.

Poorly designed crap, try getting the buggers off, built to fail. Connectivity appalling even with a hive extender and software is attricious, all valves have to be indivdually controlled, can't be grouped into rooms, where the hell do they think we'll be using these. Want to warm a room, turn up each valve individually, it's a joke.
