So i have a gas boiler and a hive thermostat, hub and receiver that controls that boiler to come on and off etc.. with the app and schedules all fine and dandy. Now I had a problem with my central heating flow as the boiler is installed on the back kitchen wall at the end of a long extension and getting it to flow properly for the entire house over 3 floors was not working so installing an extra pump more central to feed all 3 floor properly would remedy this problem. I read somewhere that hive have these smart plugs and there were also actions in the app to make it do what you want based on other things in the system. So I installed the pump and great its fixed the flow problem. So let me now set this up with a hive plug to go on and off when the heating goes on and off. I really don't want to have to wire this pump all the way back to the kitchen. Not in this day and age with all this smart tech about. But for the life of me i cant seem to fined how to do this? There is no personalise option that I've seen in pics of other people setting up actions and all I can see is some set templates that bear no relation to what i want to do?!? If you have Hive+ do you get access to basically do what you want or is it exactly the same, and they have removed the personalise (actual smart) feature?
At the end of the day i could buy some other Zigbee smart plug and switch that I can connect to the receiver's boiler switch live output but why do all that when I should be able to do this in the system I already have?!
