Drayton sca to Hive 2 combi boiler thermo

[David Kinmond]

Hi all,

I’m looking to install a single channel Hive2 using the existing backplate from my Drayton digistat. Can anyone advise if the is a straight swap or would the wiring need changing . Pic below of the existing config. Thanks in advance.

Any help ?

I'm not familiar with the Hive terminals, but it seems very simple...so simple that the fact that you're asking for help means that you have little electrical expertese, but enough bravado to be dangerous!

Not wishing to upset you, but my strong suggestion is that you let a more competent person do this.

Brown wire is live, blue is neutral. The black and grey cores are the switched output.

Thanks for the observation . I only asked as the Hive diargram shows live, neutral, common, heating on and heating off terminals (5) plus earth, an extra connection to the existing Drayton. I simply asked for advice or confirmation whether this would need a rewire as I’ve read on one or two expert forums that it could be installed onto the existing backplate.. which I wasn’t sure was accurate. And no, I’m not upset just looking for some clarification
