Hive thermostat: Receiver double amber flash
The receiver is searching for your Hive Hub.
Applies to: Hive single- and dual-channel receivers. What you see: a light.
What Hive says to do
- For the light to move on from double amber to single amber and then green, the Hive Hub must be in pairing mode: in the Hive app choose ‘Get started’ or ‘+ Add a device’, then ‘Smart Heating’, and press start. The hub flashes amber while it looks for devices.
