Hive is a perfect example of tech debt. It is a stale product line with zero tech update support, which British Gas continues to sell. However, as issues arrived, tumbleweed, I couldn't even add a new motion sensor, and now none of the sensors work as programmed.
 
In more positive news (a little) Hive has finally adopted works with Smartthings, at the moment it means you can add your Hive thermostat, but nothing else (i.e. hot water control, sensors, TRVs).
 
If you have a Smart meter and British Gas peak save tarriff you can also link Smartthings to it, giving you energy usage within Samsung Smartthings.

This is actually really helpful information for me @Obsydian, as I've just had a new boiler fitted with all the Hive technology that comes with it. So far it's serving me well, but being able to link it to SmartThings is a nice bit of extra convenience. 

Thanks for the heads up about this, you truly are a Star!

Aww thanks @ChrisB_
I must be one of the few that wants a smart meter. Only so i can link it to Smartthings and monitor energy use 🙏
