Hive has announced a new partnership with Daikin through its Works With Hive programme, expanding smart control compatibility with air source heat pumps.
The company says that the addition of Daikin, Works With Hive now connects to approximately 33% of the UK air source heat pump (ASHP) market.
Tom Pakenham, Commercial Director of Hive commented: “The future of low-carbon heating isn’t just about installing a heat pump – it’s about making sure it works brilliantly within the wider home energy system. That’s why bringing Daikin and Hive together is such an important step.
“By expanding compatibility, we’re moving the industry beyond standalone technologies towards genuinely connected homes — where heating, tariffs and smart controls work together to deliver savings and simplicity for customers.”
Pieter Devloo, Key Account Manager for National Utilities at Daikin UK, added: “With the launch of our new API, partnering with Hive was a natural next step. By integrating Daikin heat pumps with the Hive platform, we’re making it easier for households to choose how to control their heating while helping systems run efficiently and deliver the performance customers expect.”
