I have a customer who is having a completely brand spanking new heating system put in but they were gifted a hive thermostat as a housewarming gift and I really want to use it in the in install.

I make no apologies for never having fitted one as I prefer other brands but I am confused with their capabilities. I went on their live chat last night with a couple of their “experts” Who were adamant that the thermostat only had frost protection but no weather compensation option. This didn’t sound likely to me what with boiler plus but they’re the experts. Is this right and if so how does one attach weather compensation do they offer something compatible.
 
It’s load comp well that’s what they claim etc for it to pass boiler plus

It’s live in live out
 
I thought weather compensation was a must have? This is why I like the V-smart and MiGo

Hive Thermostat without hub connected to Alexa
Does anyone know if you can use the Hive thermostat with Alexa and not need Hive's hub. Couple of websites indicate you need a Hive Hub to communicate with your broadband router. I'm using the Honeywell T6 on my own home all linked up to Alexa via my home router and can use voice commands...
