Hive connection

[And.87]

I managed to get a Hive dual control kit for free. I understand the single control is ideally wanted for a combi but yey, it was free. I'm looking for some advice on how to connect this to my old Baxi 105he. I have some 4 core cable which I hope will do.
Thanks in advance.

Boiler Hive
L to L
N to N
2 to 4
Ant existing timers etc will have to be left set to constant

Thank for the reply. Does the boiler link between 1 and 2 need removed also?

yes

I've wired it as suggested and I'm getting no power to the receiver. Light isn't on. Any ideas?

What other existing controls do you have , clock in boiler , other thermostats anything else ?

 

[ianmcd]

you must have something as your link was still in so the heating would have been on all the time

Post a photo of your wiring at the Hive end.

Does number 1 not get connected, or is it switched at the Hive?

He is using a dual channel hive mate as a single channel, 1 is HW off only needed on a Y plan, he has a combi

You have not wired it correctly

Yeah there's a timer clock in the boiler. There isn't a thermostat or any other external controls.
