The best Hive Black Friday deals

The standout deal in Hive’s sale is, most definitely, the offer of a free Amazon Echo Dot with Hive’s Active Heating package, which is also reduced by 25 per cent.

• Hive Active Heating | £179 £134.25 from Hive (save £44.75 or 25 per cent, includes Amazon Echo)

This package includes the Hive thermostat, Hive Hub and receiver: everything you’ll need to control your home heating the smart way. Of course, that Echo can also be put to good use: link it to the Hive system, and you can operate your smart heating via Alexa. (Professional installation comes at an extra £37.50.)

If you’ve already got a Hive Hub, you can pick up the Hub-free package for £44.75 less.

• Hive Active Heating (without hub) | £99 £74.25 from Hive (save £24.75 or 25 per cent, includes Amazon Echo)
