I have a warm air heating system (Johnson and Starley Hi Spec J50) with a hot water tank. This has a built in single timer control for both hot water and heating with a wired room thermostat. My current set up is the hot water controlled by the built in timer with the switch in the ‘timed position’. The heating switched to ‘on all the time’ with the room thermostat being a programmable type. This allows the heating to be fully controlled and timed by the thermostat making programming independent from the hot water.
I have bought a Hive 2 heating and hot water controller, but the wiring does not seem to be directly compatible with my current set up. The question is, is there a work around?
The existing timer has live & neutral but the diagram does not show live linked to any of the other connections like a conventional timer. Not really sure if this is possible but would this work?
Wire 9 to Hive N
Wire 7 to Hive L
Wire 2 to Hive 1 & 2
Wire 1 to Hive 3
Wire 5 to Hive 4
Wire 3 redundant (fan only for summer never used)
Wire 4 redundant (timer replaced)
The existing 2 thermostat wires on the main block I assume would be bridged as the Hive would take over this.
Any help would be really appreciated as I'm determined to sort this out.
