I have done a bit of searching online and find a lot of hits here but nothing that is specific to me so I have signed up for some expert help.
I have a convensional boiler with Birtish Gas UP2 programmer and WR1 reciever with thermostat. My WR1 has failed (did have it repaired by a guy on ebay about 4 years ago but going to replace this time). I currently have the WR1 bypassed by joining terminal 1 and 3 with a jumper wire while I decide what to do.
I am considering installing a Hive heating and hot water controll set up (dual channel) but have some questions regarding the wiring set up.
I believe the hive is compatible as the UP2 has a UK standard backplate. However the wiring in the backplate of the UP2 is not exaclt the same as the diagram shown in the hive pdf manual.
The backplate of my UP2 has Live+Neutral (which is also spurred off (I assume) to the WR1 in the airing cupboard) and then terminal 3+4 (HW ON+HEATING ON).
The WR1 has Live+Neutral and then 1+3 (which I currently have a jumper between to bypass the unit).
I am scratching my head on how a hive would be set up. Can anyone with experience point me in the right direction. My assumption is that the hive reciever replaces the UP2 and then the WR1 can be removed/bypassed but just not sure on the wiring set up.
I also have a junction box in the airing cupboard which has the feed from the UP2 coming in and then it's a right mess feeding the WR1, pump and 2 x 2 way valves and the stat on the tank.
Here are some pics of my set up. Any help would be massively appreciated.

Backplate of WR1 (note the jumper lead)....
