Hi Eleanor
Yes Thats why I mentioned that. The keypad needs its own Wi-Fi that is plugged
into a port of your modem. There must be a port on your modem by default. Might
be hopefully hidden under a slot.

amazing! Is it not wireless? I have a wireless Wi-Fi so obviously that
wouldn't be much good as I don't have anything that would plug-in to another
piece of equipment. my hub is a portable one with a SIM card.

Hi all
I paid 150e at the time. Note it needs a Wi-Fi small hub that plugs into the
modem and a power socket. The controller/keypad works on batteries and can
be installed anywhere. Setup is unfriendly so get the installer to do the
heavy lifting like hive id code and set you up. If you have some vision
left the actual and set temperatures are bright white on the keypad. The
iPhone app has an orange or blue backgrounds for the temperature dial and
can be hard for me. So I use Siri. I tested voice over and it sounds very
accessible. I had linked to apple HomeKit to get Siri working. Hope this is
useful.

Hi Joe,
Sorry I’ve no idea at this stage, as I haven’t spoken to them about it
properly yet.
I did get the phone number for the team who look after it though if you
want to get more info. It’s 016110189

Hi John,
That’s great,. Thanks so much.
If you could take a quick look with VoiceOver to make sure it is usable,
that’d be great, though it sounds like it is.
Cheers,
Dave

Hi David
I use Hive controller with a gas boiler. This can be used to control the
central heating and hot water separately. Also can do zones depending on
valve setup and plumbing. For accessibility I use Siri rather than voice
over. On the app go to menu - works with- choose Alexa, google or Siri
and follow the allow settings . I just press the home button and say “
set heating to 19C or to 6C.†Brilliant when out and have the house
warm when you get home. Yet to try with voice over but could test that
if you wish.

Hey David.
I've never used hive. I have tried nest. I know people who use Hive
and they said its accessible with voiceover. I've also never heard of
anyone having any accessibility issues with it.
I didn't like nest.

Hi all,
I’ve just moved in to a new place and have set up my electricity
and gas supply with Bord Gais.
They offer the Hive system to their customers.
At the moment the apartment has a very old school panel on the boiler
which I think I will struggle to use.
If it works with my system, would Hive be a good move? Is the app
accessible with VoiceOver?
Any help appreciated.
Dave
