As long as you have power going to the Hive, you simply need to connect the switched live to the switch for heating on the hive - think of it as a simple switch, that's all the Hive is, sends a signal, same as a mechanical clock, when it recognises the heating needs to come on. You would...

All done guys, cheers for the help. Popped the multimeter on it, found the switched live (230v which was a relief) removed the mechanical clock wire, put the "spare" wire from the 4 core cable, to outlet 4 on the hive. The rest self explanatory obviously. Took around 20 minutes all in...

Ok Ian, Much appreciated

Hi Stem, Many thanks for the reply, it is massively appreciated. I neglected to mention in this thread but I have the dual channel version due to my own stupid fault, Currys refused to cancel the order (tried to cancel 5 mins after order, before it was processed or even dispatched) SO as...

Hi guys, Sorry for questioning this again, ive now received the Hive and got the manual out and found this: As I understand it the Hive dual channel (heating and hot water) doesn't have a common so shoots 230v from terminal 4 on the hive wiring - wouldn't this pop my system? given the...

Hi all, Posted earlier in the week about fitting a hive dual channel to my combo boiler and was told it would be fine as detailed here: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/help-please-hive-ordered-the-wrong-one-and-they-wont-cancel-it.513499/#post-4266847 I don't mean to be "that guy" but I'm...

So just whack my multimeter on the boiler, see which one is live when the timer is switched to on and connect terminal 4 on the Hive dual channel? - great stuff

Many thanks Ian, to confirm, I believe with the dual controller I would be wiring like the attached picture? I currently don't have a thermostat in the house! - just the time clock - I presume it would be safe to remove the time clock wiring? Other wise id have to have that in the "On" position...

Hi All, First time post so apologies if i'm straight in there begging for help. I've just ordered the "Heating and Water" version of the hive instead of the single channel - all my own fault, got excited and hit the buy it now button on the Currys ebay site. Literally realised as soon as I...
