The Hive Active Plug is a smart plug that works like an adaptor, allowing users to plug their appliances into it as normal. It requires a Hive Hub connected to the router to function and is best suited for those who already have a Hive system. The plug is white plastic with a textured and transparent panel on the front to add a bit of visual flair. The plug has a manual power button and only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.
Positive aspects of the Hive Active Plug include its ability to work seamlessly with other Hive products, like Hive Sensors, and the option to choose from dozens of preset automations or build your own. The plug can also be used as a Zigbee repeater.
Negative aspects of the Hive Active Plug include its price, which is considerably more expensive than most other smart plugs. Hive Active Plug is priced at £39 for one, £109 for three, and £159 for five. The plug is also only available in the UK, as of December 2019.
