Hello, I had the bright idea to install a Hive system for my aging mother whilst cooking the turkey. Turkey is done, but not Hive. I have installed the hub and receiver. I haven't yet installed the thermostat. It is a gravity fed system.
The problem is, I can't switch the receiver/controller to gravity fed mode. The manual says to power down for at least 5 seconds, power up and hold the hot water button for at least 10 seconds. The status light should flash blue for 3 seconds.
How ever I do this, I don't get the blue light. I've held the button for as long a minute. I've pressed and held it whilst powering up. I've pressed and held it immediately after powering up. I've pressed and held it starting a few seconds after powering up. No blue light. Each time I powered down, it was for at least 30 seconds.
The button itself works: I press (without holding) the hot water light and the boiler fires up, heating the water. If I then press the central heating, the radiators start to heat. But as it stands, it allows me to have the heating on and water off - which of course doesn't work.
Incidentally, I can successfully press and hold the central heating button to get it into stand-alone mode (white status light).
Anything obvious I've missed?
For what it's worth, boiler is a Kingfisher 2, previous controller was a Horstmann H27XL (with link removed for gravity fed). If you pressed boost for the central heating, hot water would come on too - so seemed to be working.
