Hive Install

[Hanbry1]

Hi,

I have today wired up the Hive thermostat, receiver and hub.

Connected up the wires how they were on the old receiver and now the boiler is not working. Works from the main thermostat to receiver, but doesn’t action the boiler.

Have now taken off the plate on the boiler and can see that the actual grey and earth wire has been cut..

Please help!

Put the black wire in 3 and a link from L to 1. And get rid of that grey wire that has been stripped back far too much.

Thank you John.

Is this now good to go? Don’t want to be blowing up ha ha!

 

[Hanbry1]

Also, do I not need to do anything with the earth wire on the receiver has this has been cut in wire at the boiler ?

 

[Johnmdc]

Yes that looks good.
Just leave the earth wire where it is that fine.

Hi I have connected a hive stat exactly the same as this poster to a vallaint pro 28 combi boiler but it will not fire up at all. it will not do anything
when i remove the stat and put the original back on it works no problem. all I done was connect the cables like for like but it will not fire up the boiler
would it be something to do with the hive set up or do i have to do something with the settings in the boiler to get it going. any help appreciated
thanks

Probably better starting your own thread rather than hijacking another hive post for a different boiler. State which year of pro 28, and also are you going to carry out 26.9 critical safety checks afterwards, as you have removed a cover from a combustion circuit appliance?

no problem. Will do
