Energenie -Gang MiHome Socket Bundle (2534R)

Hi Daz38, no i'm afraid Hive is not compatible with our products though the product you are looking at comes complete with its own hub; you can add further products from the MiHome range whenever you want. It is possible to integrate with Hive via IFTTT, depending on what you wish to achieve. Our products work natively with Google Home, Amazon Alexa and [selected products] with Nest. Kind regards the Energenie team.

Dear Johnny5Alive, the Gateway comes with an ethernet cable and power supply included. We recommend 35mm back boxes for our sockets. Kind regards the Energenie team

Dear electrimagician, thanks for asking about the capacity of our hub. Each one can host 32 groups of devices. A group can consist of one device, or many devices which you wish to behave collectively. For maximum flexibility i would recommend 2 hubs to host 60 sockets, configured, for example, upsatirs and downstairs. If the property is large then you could use a set of powerline adapters so the the two hubs could be positioned at opposite ends of the property for example. In any case, the two hubs would sit on the same account so you would notice no difference in using the App. I hope this helps. Kind regards the Energenie team

Dear Mapsilver, thanks for your question. The Hub requires a wired internet connection, i.e ethernet port on your router/modem. The range between the hub and devices can be up to 100ft/30m in all directions through walls, doors, ceilings etc. This is based on a building of standard construction, i.e masonry and timber. Thick internal stone walls and buildings with steel frames may reduce this range. Kind regards the Energenie team
