My first post here. So please be kind.
I have a combi Worcester boiler with a mt10 timer. I currently have a Honeywell thermostat and receiver BDR91 (receiver below boiler) to control the temperature in home , I use timer to set when on/off and thermostat to control the temperature.
Should add that I also have a fused switch (for pilot ?) so guessing this could be the extra wires.
I want more control so have purchased a hive mini thermostat set with receiver and hub.
I can easily set up the thermostat and hub but not sure on the wiring for the hive receiver (as 2 x N and 2 x L wires)
I have attached pictures of boiler, timer and the wiring in the Honeywell receiver.
I’m guessing that I will just leave the timer as always on when set up with hive - and then just set scheduling and temp with the Hive.
Can I just check if it’s as simple as moving
Both N from BDR91 to the N in the Hive
Both individual L from BDR91 to the L in the Hive
The wire in A in BDR91 (black in this case) to 1 in Hive
The wire in B in BDR91 (grey in this case) to 3 in Hive
Should I try and move the earth cable in the block at back to the earth connection in Hive, if it’s not long enough can I leave in block (as is now) ?
And as mentioned is other posts should I be concerned with Voltage and can I mess it up badly if I get it wrong?
Thank you in advance
