Boiler Plus Confusion

[deltaqubec]

New to the forums and relatively new to boilers!
I've got a quick question that hours of googling doesn't seem to help resolve.

We recently got a Worcester Greenstar 2000 installed and the plumber without any consultation installed the Honeywell T4 wireless receiver. I am aware that with Boiler Plus you will need 1 of the 4 requirements however I have asked my plumber to remove the Honeywell and install my pre-purchased Hive kit. We have the basic Hive kit (so receiver and thermostat only - https://www.screwfix.com/p/hive-active-heating-smart-thermostat-white/915hg this one to be precise).

He was being fussy about all this Boiler Plus stuff and said that I need to keep the Honeywell installed because it is Boiler Plus accepted (I personally think he had one spare in the van and wanted to shift it because I cannot see one bit of difference from what the Honeywell can do in comparison to the Hive).

Is the Hive actually Boiler Plus compatible and will using it satisfy one of the 4 requirements?

Thanks..!

Yes, Hive is BP compatible

Yes Hive is fine, did you notice that the one in the link doesnt come with a hub that has to be bought seperately

Excellent - THANKS!
By the way I don't need the full smart kit right (hub)? Just the temperature control thermostat and receiver such as that sold at Screwfix would be enough with the Greenstar 2000?

I did indeed but preferred not to get it with that hub as it was attached via CAT5 to the router or switch. I was going to attempt to source the 360 version for wireless capability.
I'm hoping without the smart hub still keeps me compliant for the time being?

of course, no need for the hub to make it compliant

Thanks very much folks..! You have no idea how difficult it was to just get a simple straight answer on the web! I hope google crawls this and helps those who just want a straight answer with regards to hive.
