Hive

The hive integration is the main integration to set up and integrate all supported Hive devices. Once configured with the minimum required details it will detect and add all Hive devices into Home Assistant, including support for multi-zone heating.

This integration uses the unofficial API used in the official Hive website https://my.hivehome.com, and you will need to use the same Username and Password you use on the Hive website to configure this Hive integration in Home Assistant.

There is currently support for the following platforms within Home Assistant:

Binary Sensor
Climate
Light
Sensor
Switch
Water Heater

To add your Hive devices into your Home Assistant installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
hive:
  username: YOUR_USERNAME
  password: YOUR_PASSWORD

username string Required

Your username from https://my.hivehome.com.

password string Required
