Hive relay

[Michael Robertson]

Hi

I am looking to purchase hive heating I will only be using it to control my heating I have checked my wiring of the current thermostat which I have attached, do I need to change anything or will it just be a matter of fitting the hive relay to the plate and that's it?

We need a bit more information.

What presently controls the times that the heating is on for?

Do you have stored hot water, or do you have a combi?

 

[Michael Robertson]

At present we have a timer built into the combi so I would just assume that I would set the time to always on since the hive thermostat would take over the responsibility for that?

OK thanks understood. In that case you are correct. You will need the single channel version of the Hive and all you would need to do is to add a link between the L terminal and Terminal 1.

Many thanks for your assistance

You are welcome. You are also fortunate, adding a Hive to most systems is a bit more tricky. Yours is one of the easiest I've come across.

current thermostat which I have attached,

What would be the make and model of the current thermostat attached?...it looks like a programmer to me..

Hive is deliberately designed to be easily fitted to existing drayton products as they made BG branded controls for a long time.

That backplate looks like a programmer not a room stat.

That backplate looks like a programmer not a room stat.

All use the same backplate, more recent versions have the redundant terminals blanked off. RTS1 is a drayton stat.
