Hive installation, assistance needed

[Johnmdc]

Where you have disconnected the room stat wires in the wiring centre you need to link terminals 1 and 3 for the heating to work.

 

[Petethebodger]

Ok thanks I'll give that a go.

You could have told us you had a Honeywell wiring centre, it does make a difference, as above link the room stat out and have you disconnected the cylinder stat ?

 

[Petethebodger]

Apologies, no i haven't disconnected the cylinder stat. Should that be removed then? As well as the room stat?

 

[picasso]

No I just could not see the wires.

 

[Petethebodger]

So only disconnect the room stat? And link terminals 1and 3?

 

[Johnmdc]

Yes. In the honeywell wiring centre where you disconnected the room stat.

 

[Petethebodger]

I disconnected the room stat. And joined terminals in the hive?

1 and 3 in the room stat space

 

[Petethebodger]

I thought u said disconnect them?

 

[denso13]

I thought u said disconnect them?

Do this...

So only disconnect the room stat? And link terminals 1and 3?

I'm sorry, this is as basic as it gets.

 

[Johnmdc]

YOU said you had disconnected the room stat.
I have twice and others have told you to link terminals 1 and 3 in the honeywell wiring centre where you disconnected the room stat from.
I can't be any clearer than that!!

 

[Petethebodger]

I figured it out. Boiler came on when the heating was pressed. Didn't come on when i pressed it for the hot water

 

[Petethebodger]

Does anyone know why the hot water doesn't come on? The light on the hub comes on.

 

[Johnmdc]

Could it be that the cylinder is already up to temperature?
Try turning the cylinder thermostat up, but remember to turn it back down after.
If it still doesn't work is the wire in terminal 3 of the Hive connected properly.
