Hive is amazing.
I’ve had Hive set up for some years and when I can add to it I do. Especially when items are on offer! It’s convenient and easy and gives a certain amount of security.
Fantastic device
I have 3 of these devices in controlled via Alexa for lights and TV – simple to us and configure and have never failed in over 2 years
Hive
Every thing to do with hive is great. Easy to use system. Easy to control you lights , heating, and plugs . Wherever you are in the world.
Apple HomeKit compatibility is Hive’s hidden strength
It’s a smart plug, if you have a hive hub already then this just works out of the box with that system.
It’s killer feature though is Hives Apple HomeKit compatibility so you can turn this on via your phone, watch, Apple TV or HomePod without needing to fire up the hive app every time. That also means you can add it to HomeKit scenes, automation, etc.
When is a plug more than a plug?
Very useful little Gadget? When you can operate from wherever or whenever you might be needing to alter what is happening with whatever is connected to it. Brilliant I will buy more.
Grea
Bought this to use with my Christmas tree lights. Worked well. I was very happy with it. Will use it for something else now. Expensive but glad I bought it. Works well with Alexa.
Totally over priced
But works well. Set up easy and so far very reliable.
Very useful piece of kit.
So simple to use and set up. This is my 5th one now. Can set on a timer via app or can set up actions with other hive items eg movement sensors etc to switch on lamps, can then set time it stays on for and between certain times so as won’t come on when it’s daylight etc. Really handy. Great at Christmas.
easy setup
If you have Hive, then this item is essential, in fact 2 or 3 of them will be put to good use, especially useful if you are away and want to turn on radio or lights etc. This one was great value for money and delivery was very fast.
It works!
These plugs are easy to install and use, and just like the Hive bulbs you can set lights to come on at sunset etc. I’ve linked plugs in different rooms on a quick action, so I can easily switch things off when I go to bed without going from room to room. They work with an multi-way adapter also, so you can switch multiple things on and off with one, so long as you want them on/off at the same time.
Expensive for what they are, but works well with Hive app
Worth paying the extra for the ease of use, and the way it integrates with the other Hive bits and pieces I have. Quick easy set up. And then very easy to set up a schedule.
Hive Active Plug
Very easy to attach to existing hive software and works wonderfully well, would definately recommend this produc
Perfect but not cheap.
These work seamlessly
I keep purchasing these to keep commonality in the house and use one app.
In comparison to Alexa smart plugs they are over priced.
To be honest as I normally just set a timer and leave them. I may well move to Amazon smart plugs at less than half the price.
If you already have hive it is easy to setup.
You go in to add device and it just appears it is so easy to set up, adding it to Alexa is so easy as well and the the key words just work!
So handy
I ordered this so I could control a lamp in my home while I’m not there. It’s not the cheapest on the market but I have a Hive hub so it made sense. It’s easy to set via the app, isn’t too bulky and is incredibly reliable. I would consider buying another later.
Easy start to smart home
Hive is a very easy to use system to start the setup of a novice smart home. The plug has such a great range of uses, like timing a fan to come on at specific times, or using voice controls to turn on an appliance. I have 3 of these now as well as the smart bulbs. Very pleased
A Bit Pricey but Works Well AND Boosts Zigbee Signal
I was looking for a signal booster (Hive NOT WiFi) to reach our shed door which is almost 20m from the hub.
Amazon had only one dedicated booster in stock and wanted 29 for it. Checking the Hive website it says the plugs (and bulbs) include signal boosters, so for just 2 extra decided to give it a try.
I’ve put in the outbuilding and it works well both as a switched socket and as a booster to reach the shed.
Brillia
Great deal for the 4 plus the hive app iwatch is brillia
Great to use with a fan and hive system.
Great for temperature control, we bought this so we could turn the fan on/off at certain temperatures keeping the house at bareable temperatures during the summer and keep electric bill more realistic. This way the fan comes on when it’s too hot and turns off when cool enough again instead of running constantly till we manually turn it off. Easy to set up with hive and no issues whilst setting it up
Such a useful plug
I bought this plug to control the lights in the bedroom. Allowing the lights to be turned on at night as security, but also to allow the room to be lit up at night before entering. Works just great.
Expensive but works really well
This does exactly what it says on the tin. As easy to program as any other Hive accessory, it also has an override button on the front to allow it to be switched off or on, and it will revert to program the next time a scheduled event goes past.
Is that worth the exorbitant cost? Depends. If it was cheaper we’d probably have a dozen in the house. As it is, the single plug in the lounge works well.
Great Plug with a problem
These are very easy to add to your system it actually took longer to unbox than set up
In the past I have rated these 5 star but if you want to set up a simple on/off schedule it’s a nightmare the app/plug constantly resorts to the preprogrammed settings giving the impression of a smart plug that is constantly trying to outsmart you
It really should be possible to wipe the preprogrammed times off completely and set your own on/off times to suit what you want it seems the whole system, including the lack of instructions is set up to prevent this
Expensive but reliable
These connect to wifi and work with Hive/Alexa very easily. Too pricey but to my mind work consistently compared to cheaper products.
Easy to programme
Easy to use, set up etc. So much easier to use than a manual programmer. The only thing that stopped a 5 star review is the price.
A plug for awkward places
I use these plugs for lamps which are connected to sockets in awkward places such as behind chairs or units. They are specially useful at Christmas time for tree lights. I connect them via my Hive App on my phone and iPad. The lights can come on timed or manually. Great for older folk with dodgy knees.
Great plug
Very pleased with this hive plug .connected instantly with my hive hub . Also with my alexa device’s. Very easy set up . Really pleased.
Quality device
Arrived quickly well packed easy to set up and install, works well with iPhones pads and Android devices . Easy to use.
Hive plug, expensive but works well
Works well and easy to use with Hive. This was a Black Friday price so cheapest I have seen it. Hive goods are very expensive, would have given 5 stars if more affordable.
Active plug
Easily found by the Hive app.
Setting it up to simply turn a light on and off takes a while as you need to get the socket on and off sorted after you have put your times in.
Expensive for what it is.
Easy to install and use
Easy to install and use via the hive app. Have not used Alexa to control so cannot comment. Nice that you can press the button on the unit to activate and not have to rely on the app or Alexa. Slightly larger than some other brands, but not to its detriment.
Great product.
Great product. Have a number of these. This was purchased to enable remote control of external Christmas lights. Expensive but extremely useful. Easy to set up and use via Alexa or Hive app.
Great device
Easy to add to the Hive app, easy to integrate with Alexa
Works well as part f a give install
Simple to use, I installed Hive Heating and then added lighting and other devices to automate some of the house. Works brilliantly and the plug allows control over any device attached.
Works well with my Hive App
Plug seems well built, this is my 3rd and they all work fine. The Bulb has been put into an outside coach lamp, it means that I can leave the coach lamp switch left turned on and use my Hive App to set times or over ride and control from either my Hive App OR my Alexa. How cool is that 🙂
Plug & Play
A very straightforward item to use so I can turn my living room light on or off.
I just simply plug the unit into the mains socket, plug in the lamp to the unit and switch on the socket.
Then add the unit to my hive hub via app which I gave it a name.
After that, Alexa recognises the unit and I can use the app to set the times and use Alexa to verbally to turn on/off the lamp.
Well made
Easy to install works well good quality and well built.
Great produc
This plug is a great addition to a Hive system or your first one. Currently have a lot of products and these are great for lamps and items you can want to control remotely.
