Heat on demand
If you also have a Hive thermostat you can enable Heat On Demand in your Hive Radiator
Valve’s settings in the Hive app.
Once you have enabled Heat On Demand, your Hive Radiator Valve will boost your
thermostat automatically to turn on your heating and make heat available to your radiators
when they need it.
When Heat On Demand turns the heating on, every radiator will be provided with heat.
Rooms with thermostatic valves (including Hive Radiator Valves) will warm up until they
reach their target temperatures. Rooms with manual (on/off) radiator controls will continue to
heat up until the boiler switches off again.
If you don’t have a Hive thermostat, or if you disable Heat On Demand, then turning up
a Hive Radiator Valve will only warm up the room if your heating is already on.
Heat On Demand works best when you have Hive Radiator Valves on all your radiators. In
this setup you will only warm up the room that needs heat. We don’t recommend using Heat
On Demand if you have lots of manual radiator valves, as you may end up warming more of
your house than you intend to.
