Hi,

Just moved into a new home and planning to replace the existing timer, for heating and hot water, with the Hive dual channel receiver, thermostat and hub.
There doesn't seem to an existing thermostat in the house, only the timer.
The attached images are of the existing wiring and the diagram on the back of the timer. I note that the mount will fit the Hive receiver perfectly.
Is it feasible to transfer the wires, like for like, to the Hive mount?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response.
The boiler is a Potterton Promax SL.

Hi

I've got a similar setup to the above and have also bought the Hive with dual HW & CH controls to replace the existing Drayton control and wired thermostat. I tried to set it all up last weekend and everything was going well until I tried to replace the thermostat.

I set up the hive hub, changed the receiver over and tested the manual push button controls for CH & HW and both fired the boiler up OK.

When I then removed the old wired thermostat and set up the wireless hive version, the hot water control on the hive receiver just stopped working (remotely and by pressing the button manually) and the option to control the HW was not available in the Hive app or via the thermostat. CH controls were still ok and could set the temp via the thermostat and switch on/off, but just nothing for HW.

The wires from the old thermostat were all terminated individually in single terminal blocks & insulation tape and then shoved back into the wall hidden behind the new hive thermostat.

So must be something to do with the thermostat wiring, but have no idea what or why if the CH was still working OK as the thermostat only controls the heating doesn't it?!

After wasting 4 hours only to have to put the original controls back in place, it was a little frustrating to say the least!! It did at least all still work when re-connecting the original kit, but would like to start using the Hive controls that I paid over £100 for!

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks
Steve
