I installed a Hive heating system about 3 years ago before I became aware of Honeywell Exotherm. I've recently looked in more detail at Exotherm as I wanted more control over the radiators in the unused, or only intermittently used, e.g. bedrooms and dining room.
I was all set to rip out the Hive system and replace with Evotherm when I became aware of the Hive Radiator Valves (TRV) which would appear to do the same job as the HR92UK Radiator Zone Kit.
Costs:
Hive £540 (10x TRV's @ £54.00 each)
Evotherm = £800+ (1x ATP9221R3100 Wi-Fi base pack, 1x ATF500DHW Hot Water Kit, 10x HR92UK Radiator Zone Kits)
Staying with Hive saves me £260.00 and no need to rewire whereas Exotherm will require a small bit of drilling plus a complete rewire.
I would be interested in any thoughts, especially from anyone who has experience of both systems.
