Hive stat

[CAESAR32]

Would a hive stat wire on to this? Is a s-plan plus, 3 zones. Currently only 2 wires to the stat. Live and switch live?

Wires

Yes, but probably best with changing existing programmer if there is one, or wiring at the wiring center. You’ll also need a dual and single channel Hive. Whereas the Drayton Wiser does a 3 channel (x2 Heating and hot water). Yes, existing is live and switched. If you wanted the receiver in place of that, you need to confirm there’s a permanent live and a permanent neutral.

Thanks I think that is the stat and programmers?

Programmable room thermostats, so in a sense, yes they are. In which case, better in the wiring center for the Hive, if you’re still planning on it.

So I'd have to alter wires in the wiring centre to fit a hive?

Yes, or trace the wires at existing to ascertain if they’re connected. If they are then you can utilise them, if not, connect at the wiring center and receivers can go there. Personally I think it would be easier to change at the wiring center. If you want an all round easier solution without changing wires, then change for mains switching battery operated programmable thermostats. I don’t understand a lot about people wanting Hive.

The is quiet abit of work to swap for a hive then. As this stat just does heating, if swapped for a normal stat. Would any single channel programmable one do?
