To reset a Hive Thermostat, press the tab on the base to remove it from the wall, remove a battery, wait 10 seconds, and reinsert it. For a factory reset, you may need to hold specific button combinations depending on your model (e.g., SLT3 or Mini).
A 'No Signal' message means the thermostat has lost connection to the receiver or hub. Check that your Hive Receiver (usually near the boiler) has power and that the Hive Hub is connected to your broadband router.
Press the tab on the base of the thermostat to release it from the wall. Remove the old batteries and insert 4 new AA batteries (or AAA for the Mini model). Clip the thermostat back onto the wall plate.
The serial number is typically located on a sticker on the back or base of the device, or inside the battery compartment.
