Amazon has a history of working alongside Hive dating back to October 2016, when it announced Alexa voice commands would be compatible with Hive Active Heating Products. Today, they’ve cemented the relationship further with a massive 37% saving on the Hive Active Heating and Hot Water with Professional Installation as part of its Prime Day Deal offering.
Hive Active Heating and Hot Water with Professional Installation Prime Day Deal: What is it?

It lets you change your home’s heating and cooling with just a few taps on your phone anywhere at anytime.
Other features include setting up a daily schedule for your heating and cooling system, automatic frost protection, geo-alerts about heating whenever you return or leave home, a holiday mode if you’ll be gone for a few days and temperature graphs to monitor your use and potentially see where you can cut down.
