Hello,
I am attempting to install Hive myself because British Gas messed me about , I watched all of the you tube videos and had a go at the weekend. I was happy to find that the Drayton controller I have had identical wire configuration to the Hive controller. The Hive controller even fits the back plate for the Drayton. I powered the isolator back up and the Hive started blinking as it should and when I pushed the Hot water button this stayed on a solid green light as it should, the only problem being the boiler is not triggered. I tried the same with the heating and linked my new thermostat to the controller but still no trigger.
I have attached a photo of the wiring of the backplate. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ps I have already tried removing the permanent live to position 2 as someone on you tube had advised but still the same.
Thanks
Paul
