That is wired correctly, but I don't like how close that earth wire is to the live link. It should have a connector on it, also there should be some brown sleeving on the blue wire. As to why it's not turning off it could be a number of things.

The fan on that boiler continues running for about 5 minutes after the call for heat finishes. Have you waited for that long?

The white wire that's going to the boiler is correctly connected to the orange valve wire.

The brown pump wire that is in with the orange valve wire at the moment should be put in a separate terminal with the red wire that is going to the boiler.

This is the Hive V1. Is this what you have? If so then the instructions I gave are correct.

Yes it can, turn the power off to the receiver and take the batteries out of the thermostat. Turn the power back on and hold down the button for heating for about 10 seconds. The flashing amber light will start flashing pink. While holding down + and - on the thermostat put the batteries...

Is there a wire connected to terminal 1 at the programmer? If there is then it should work set to fully pumped.

When you have screwed the switch back on the box you have trapped the wire see the yellow circles on you picture.

The easiest way would be to join the red and yellow wires where the old thermostat is with a connector. Also put a separate connector on the blue wire. Then either put a blank plate on the box or fit your new Hive thermostat there to cover the connectors.

You have a thermal store. It has to be heated up for the heating to work. So your system is operating as it should. You cannot have the heating on on it's own with that type of system. The programmer has been set to gravity correctly.

It is just the preheat which is controlled by the timer, so if you don't want the preheat to be on set the timer to off. Then the green light will then be lit up this means that the preheat is off. You will still get hot water, but it will take a few seconds longer to heat up.

When in gravity mode the top light will be blue. To put it in fully pumped mode hold the left hand button in for about 10 seconds until the top light turns green.

On this system boiler when you have external motorised valves only the thermostat with the picture of the radiator is used. The one with the picture of the tap doesn't do anything unless it has an integral motorised valve. (Which you don't) So basically you need to turn up the thermostat with...

The fourth wire (green/yellow) is an earth wire which wouldn't normally be connected to the smoke detector. So the 3 wire ones will probably be okay.

Unless the hot water had reached the temperature the cylinder stat is set to.

Could it be feeding an outside light, with the live coming from a switch. That is what was done in my house when it was built.

I would say that 1 and 2 are the neutral in and out (these should have been black) and 3 is the switched live, which will be the wire on it's own at the bottom of the light switch. If you want the fan to work independent of the light then you will need to find a permanent live feed. You will...

I stand corrected:)

Are you sure that's set to maximum? I thought fully clockwise was maximum that looks to be fully anticlockwise which I think is minimum.
