Hello people. I'm new to the forum so any help would be amazing.
I'm sure this question has been asked a million and 1 times, and I have searched through the forum for answers but my mind is boggled.

I am wanting to wire my hive up to my new ideal logic boiler (combi) (That currently has no thermostat on) as we are using the annalog dials on the front.

My question is, has anyone got a simple correct wiring diagram that I can follow..?

Sorry again to the regulars who are probably sick of this question

Thanks Rick.

Just a word of warning first. To access the wiring terminals of some boilers it is necessary to open up a room sealed compartment. If this is the case for your boiler, then it's not a DIY job and should be done by an RGI who can check to make sure that the compartment is properly sealed up again afterwards.

So, assuming that in your case, you can get to the terminals without opening up a room sealed compartment:

For a combi You should have a Hive single channel receiver like this:

......as you don't give details of the version of Ideal Logic that you have, I'll base it on the diagram I have below. (If yours is different post back the details)

The Hive receiver N & L connect to the boiler mains N & L supply so that they are supplied from the same 3A fused spur.

The wire loop in the terminals marked Room Stat / Timer is removed. One of the terminals connects to the Hive (1) 'Common' and the other to Hive (3) 'Heating on' it doesn't matter which way around.
 
Okay. The wiring of the stat has been carried out but the boiler does not want to fire in when I am turning the stat up. It only kicks in when I manually press the button on the box that is wired to the boiler.

Is there suppose to be a link from permanent live to common 1. As I have seen this on other wiring diagrams.

I also take full notice of the regulations you have stated thanks

As above, you shouldn't have removed the cover of your boiler unless you're capable of carrying out the regulatory 26.9 checks before it's used again, and you aren't capable of doing that because you aren't Gas Safe Registered. Probably a good thing that it doesn't work now you've fiddled with it - you can get a registered engineer out to carry out the safety checks and fix your wiring faults at the same time. Using an Earth as a live conductor is a big no-no, for a start
 
It only kicks in when I manually press the button on the box that is wired to the boiler.
If by that, you mean the manual button on the Hive receiver, then the wiring is correct, as that's the only place the wiring goes! The problem will be with the communication between the Hive thermostat and Hive receiver, in that the thermostat is not switching the receiver on.

As above regarding the green/yellow, and also the blue wire, which at least should have a brown sleeve fitted over to show use as a live wire.

Is there suppose to be a link from permanent live to common 1. As I have seen this on other wiring diagrams.
No, you don't need to do that the way your boiler is wired. If you needed it, it wouldn't work now when you pressed the manual button.

your wiring as already stated is not correct but will work, you have a communication problem between the thermostat and the receiver, did you set up an account with hive ? if you have done it online like most do then call them and give them your e-mail and they can see what is happening and can control the hive from their end to test it, what colour are the lights on the hub that is plugged into your router ?
 
Forget what bennyboy has said as usual complete rubbish, if you want to use the single channel Hive it will just be exactly that, you can control a single channel or zone, you have a system boiler so the receiver controls the zone valve for that zone only, as you have stats upstairs and downstairs you would need two sets of hives if you want to control individual zones , if you just want to use a hive on one zone say downstairs then the receiver operates the zone valve which in turn brings the boiler on
