Hive 2 installation on vokera syntesi 35?

Just did, made no difference tried boiler in all configurations, no different

Just reread your post, you've checked voltages, your receiver must be duff.

Have you set the clock on the boiler? Is there 240 volts between yellow and blue or red and blue? If not the blue might not be connected at the other end.

 

[Cgas]

If you've got voltage to the live connection and Earth and no lights, the receiver must be a gonner. Even if you'd managed to cock up 1 and 3 you'd still get Amber flashing on receiver when plugged in.

I have 114v between red & blue, and 190v between blue & yellow (72v between red&yellow)
Appreciate all the help guys, I really do

Oh dear, just looked in boiler, blue is not connected, any advice really appreciated. Sorry for the goose chase!

Otto, I as an engineer would rip out the 3 core earth cable. It has no place inside the boiler. Solid conductors apply sufficient pressure to sometimes lead to connections on the pcb. This is based on personal experience and looks hideous

Sorry DP, I really don't understand what you're suggesting, how will this help, is it purely for aesthetic reasons?

Would It be easier for me to wire this direct to the boiler in a convenient place, and just leaving the old thermostat out of service?

Yes now your in there, remove that yellow/red and run a new 5core flex to the receiver (by side of boiler will do) use the connections the red and yellow come out of for 1&3 on the receiver and obviously you need L-N-E (don't really need earth but I do it anyway).

Tested the receiver today by connecting it directly to the mains via a plug, appears to work fine, amber light and green heating light. Just need to connect it to the boiler now

you need to cheer up a bit ( avatar )

Hive is now working, wired receiver as described, all is good, thank you guys for all the help I really do appreciate it. Tomorrow I will tidy all the wiring up and fix thermostat & receiver to a permanent location. Big thanks
