Hive has announced an upgrade to its smart thermostat technology, which now includes OpenTherm, delivering customers with OpenTherm-compatible Combi boilers a reduction of up to 12% in gas consumption.
OpenTherm allows constant communication between the thermostat and the boiler, resulting in greater modulation of the flow temperature within a home heating system.
