Hive Active Smart Plug White V3 13A Energy Monitoring 85199
The Hive Active Smart Plug V3 (MPN 851990) plugs into any standard UK socket and turns any appliance into a remotely controllable smart device — rated at 13 A (approximately 3 kW at 240 V) and suitable for most everyday loads from lamps and fans to heaters and televisions. A single press of the on-device button toggles power; the Hive app on iOS or Android adds remote control, scheduling and live energy monitoring from anywhere.
The V3 communicates over Zigbee to the Hive Hub and — importantly for larger Hive systems — doubles as a Zigbee mesh range extender, relaying the signal between the hub and battery-powered devices (like TRV003 valves) that might otherwise struggle to reach the hub through thick walls. Up to 6 daily on/off time slots can be programmed via the app. Energy monitoring lets you track live power draw from the connected appliance and identify which devices are running up the electricity bill. Compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home for voice control.
Turn any connected appliance on or off from the Hive app on your smartphone — whether you're on the sofa, at the office, or abroad. Check the plug's status and current power draw at a glance.
Programme up to 6 time slots per day for the plug — turn lamps on at sunset, switch the dehumidifier off at midnight, or run a heated towel rail only during morning and evening hours.
The Hive app shows the current wattage of the connected appliance in real time — helping you understand which devices are power-hungry and giving you the information to make smarter energy decisions.
Being mains-powered, the Smart Plug V3 acts as a Zigbee mesh repeater — relaying signals between the hub and other Zigbee devices. Adding plugs in intermediate rooms strengthens the network for TRV003 valves and other battery devices across the home.
Works with Amazon Alexa and Google Home — turn the plug on and off or check its status with a voice command via your smart speaker.
A compact 54 × 64 × 59.4 mm (with pins) body avoids blocking adjacent sockets in most UK double-socket configurations. The LED indicator on the front face shows power status at a glance — no need to open the app to check.

Does it work without a Hive Hub?
No — the Smart Plug V3 uses Zigbee, not direct Wi-Fi. A Hive Hub connected to your router is required. Once the hub is set up, pairing the plug takes seconds via the Hive app.
Does it support Apple HomeKit?
No — the Hive Smart Plug V3 is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home, but does not support Apple HomeKit or Samsung SmartThings.
Why would I use it to extend the Zigbee network?
Battery-powered Zigbee devices like the TRV003 valve can struggle to communicate with the hub through multiple walls or across floors. A mains-powered Smart Plug placed between the hub and the distant device acts as a relay, significantly improving range and reliability — particularly important in stone, concrete or steel-framed buildings.
Can I use it with non-Hive appliances?
Yes — the Smart Plug V3 works with any standard UK mains appliance up to 13 A. It does not need to be a Hive product — lamps, fans, kettles, dehumidifiers and most domestic appliances are all compatible, provided their current draw stays within the 13 A limit.
