First of all hi!
Just moved into our new house and trying to get my head round everything.
We have bought a hive thermostat and I'm going to attempt to install it myself. The existing programmer is the British Gas programmer which is essentially a hive but without the wireless stuff.
The back plate is compatible.
1) can I replace it by literally attaching the hive dual control to the existing plate.
2) the existing configuration doesn't match the hive diagram for wiring a dual channel.
3) what do I do with the thermostat wire. Once removed it leaves the grey wire (photographed) where would this need to go? This was joined via a junction box to the yellow wire with red sleeve from the thermostat.
The picture of the various wires is removed from the existing programmer and goes to the thermostat.
Hope that makes sense
Thanks!!!
