Hi, I’ve done diy plumbing for most of my life and have a generally good understanding of electrics. (Point me in the right direction and I can deal with most things) However, I’m somewhat confused with the Hive setup and how it works. I’ve not even seen one aside from the ads and what others say of it (a very sad and sheltered life, I know!!). Having seen a couple of YouTube videos, I’m still somewhat confused.
I’m planning on buying a Hive heat only thermostat but before I do I want to understand what is involved.
I have a WB 38CDI that I will need to connect my Hive to. At present, the boiler is simply being powered from a fused socket. There is an awful Salus wireless controller attached to the boiler which I will disconnect.
My question is, if I disconnect the mains power cable from the boiler and connect the L N E wires to the new Hive controller and then take a 5 core cable from the Hive controller to the L N Ns Lr and Ls terminals on the boiler, will that work? Will the boiler have the power supply it needs?
Or will I continue to need this 3 core separate power cable to supply the boiler?
Your advice/guidance will be much appreciated.
