For some reason my Hive Integration in @homeassistant just stopped working about an hour ago. This coincided with the hive hub losing connection to the boiler which i have since resolved by following it’s troubleshooting steps, and all my hive devices are working and connected to the cloud, but the entities in #homeassistant are still showing as unavailable. Has anyone else experienced problems like this with #hive and Home Assistant?
@homeassistant I think i spoke to soon, its not working in the hive app anymore either and now the troubleshooting steps in app are failing to fix the issue this time around. I suspect it’s a hive issue rather than home assistant.
@homeassistant boiler and thermostat are showing as connected in the Hive Mobile app again but still unavailable in Home Assistant.
@homeassistant tried rebooting my Home Assistant Server again and the Hive Entities are showing as available and appear to be working again. So near enough certain the issue was at Hive’s end but neither the app or their (frankly useless) customer service team could give any indication what the cause was.
IS there any #OpenSource smart thermostats and boiler interfaces available that are compatible with #Homeassistant ? if not open source, are there any that at least aren’t cloud connected?

@linickx @homeassistant Good to know, Likewise i don’t think i want to risk it right now so I will probably wait until they drop support for my device before i attempt that. Cheers!
@sudoaptgetlife @homeassistant Would this help? https://community.home-assistant.io/t/can-i-integrate-hive-active-heating-into-ha-without-the-hive-hub/246728/2
@sudoaptgetlife @homeassistant And have you investigated zigbee2mqtt for hive? https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/supported-devices/
@ro @homeassistant No, it seems like too much of a faff to set up, maybe if/when Hive stop supporting my devices altogether. TBH I’m not interested in an alternative solution unless it’s as easy to set up as the original hive integration. If i have to buy more kit, especially development boards or learn how to code in some programming language then it’s an instant no for me.
