Hi guys,
After some (hopefully simple) help here. I had a thread yesterday about a lazy Hive install by British Gas - which stem really helped me with yesterday.
According to customer services, the installation engineer is fairly defensive about his install, so just wanted to clarify the wiring before he comes back today.
The issue is with the upstairs programmable thermostat. This is on an S-plan system and is 'zone 1' (the red tape in the picture). This was controlled by a battery powered thermostat that had a brown and black wire going to it (see picture Thermostat). Rather than disconnect these and wire a receiver next to the wiring centre on the water tank, he's used these wires and installed a (battery powered) Hive thermostat with built in receiver as there was no live feed to power a receiver (which is no use to us as we need wireless). The Thermostat picture is actually the Hive thermostat.
I think I've traced the black wire at the thermostat to terminal 13. But I can't see where the brown wire is coming from. There are some discrepancies between what's there and the wiring shown on "Wiring diagram on tank" picture. So I just wanted to ask the professionals.
Really appreciate any help with clarifying this.
Cheers.
