Hive Hot Water boost control example.

A sample flow to control a Hive Thermostats hot water boost function.
The flow logs into the Hive website. Retrieves a list of nodes, finds the Hot Water Relay, and sets it in boost mode for 30 minutes.

Nodes to edit:

"Turn On" change the msg.action amount to be the number of minutes to run the boost

"Set Username and Password" Enter your hive website username and password

"Set Twitter Name" and "Tweet" Either remove these, or enter your details if you want to be notified that the flow was unable to login to Hive.

I use this with HA-Bridge / Domoticz / MQTT / Alexa to control my hot water at home.
With Alexa, I can say "Alexa, turn on the hot water" and she will run this flow (changing the start node to http inputs and calling from HA-Bridge). The native Alexa hive skill is more clunky, requiring "Alexa, tell hive to boost my hot water", and this always results in a 1 hour boost, which is too much.
