Possible Causes

Loose battery contacts, Faulty power regulator on PCB, Firmware crash, Electrical noise on low-voltage supply (for wired models)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: For wired models, isolate power before removing covers.

  • Secure batteries: Ensure batteries fit snugly and contacts are clean. Slightly bend contacts (gently) to improve pressure if needed.
  • Check for vibration: Avoid mounting the thermostat on surfaces that vibrate (e.g. stud walls near doors that slam).
  • Firmware update: Apply any available firmware updates via the Hive app.
  • For wired models: Have a professional check the low-voltage supply from the receiver for stability.
  • When to call a pro: Frequent reboots usually indicate a failing power regulator or main PCB, requiring thermostat replacement.
