Spliced it with a connector as it was too short. All working fine. Thanks for the help, much appreciated!

Great, thanks a lot. I’ll look for the brown - absolute mess in there so extremely hard to find it.

Thanks. Didn’t want to start a new one and be told “there’s already someone basically doing the same in this thread”! I’ve determined the zone, it’s the yellow valve. The red is the other/main heating valve. This has I think 4 wires, so is it a case of me plugging all 4 wires (based on their...

Hi, Sorry to resurrect this thread - just wondering if someone could advise. Similar setup to the original poster, but I’ve replaced a Danfoss 5000 with a Wiser 2-channel setup. This has been fine in summer, handling hot water, but there are two motorised valves for the heating. One of them is...

Thanks, that makes sense. What I can't understand is the wiring for the old TP5000. The TP9000 sits in a cupboard near the Danfoss WB12 wiring, so the Wiser hub will replace the 9000 fine, but the TP5000 is two floors up. If I remove the 5000, how do I switch that valve on and off without...

So you'd recommend connecting the valves and replace the TP9000 with the Wiser, instead of wiring the Wiser directly to the boiler? Your advice about the building regs is excellent, much appreciated. We've just bought the place, so suspect we'll be here a while, but I'll keep tabs on what I...

Sorry to resurrect this thread, just a quick question. I have a near-identical setup and also want to replace with Wiser. But I don't care about the ridiculous 3rd zone (the heating for just one bedroom!). So I want just two zones - heating and water - and need to somehow combine both existing...

Many thanks, @stem - worked a treat.

Hi both. I have a similar set-up - Baxi Duo Tec combi - and am going to swap the Honeywell with my old Hive tomorrow. However, the colours on my Honeywell receiver look different to yours. Is the advice from @stem still valid? Thanks a lot Will

All done. Thanks @petit_pablo hugely for all your help. Brilliant! And nice to learn a few things along the way too. One q - why did we need to link the common with the live?

No. I've taken it from one house to our new house, so it's not connected anywhere yet. Last question. Here's my electrics. Circled the main stuff. Do those wires currently in L and N etc stay there, and the Hive wires join them? Sorry to be such a cretin.

Don't ask me! This is what it looked like when I took it off. So presumably I cut that black wire, and loop it into the L screw to create the link

OK. And by "link Hive Live to Hive Common", on the Hive backplate I should screw Common into Live so they use the same socket - is that what you meant? No.1 into L, in the pic below

Thanks @petit_pablo. So to confirm: Hive Common to boiler L Hive Heating On to boiler RT Hive Permanent Neutral to boiler N Hive Heating Off - not used Hive Permanent Live - not used Sorry for the questions and thanks for your help. Will

Thanks. So: L to L N to N Where would (1) Common, 2 (Heating off), 3 (Heating on) plug into in that bottom picture?

It's a good idea, one I've considered. But am extremely short of money and won't be able to afford it for a while. And I enjoy learning new things! If anyone's willing to help advise...shout.

Hi. Our new house has a new boiler - Glow Worm Essential 28C - and I'd like to put my Hive (original version) in. I took it out of the old boiler, replacing it with the old Honeywell stat, but am a bit confused by the new boiler's wiring. The manual (here) talks about external controllers...

Superb. Thanks!

Hi, Simple question really - our washing machine outflows into a vertical drain pipe with a hose which looks like this: I want to install a (tabletop) dishwasher and dump the hose down the same drain. Its hose will probably look a lot smaller than this one, and it won't have the same...

Simon, Just checked the valves on the cylinders. All are fully open. The tanks were replaced three weeks ago but she had this problem before the new ones came, and after, when the new ones were full. Supply doesn't seem to be the problem - unless a leak has sprung. What I don't understand...
