Have you bought the correct hive ? you need a dual channel one

Be careful of the green/yellow - it’s not being used as it should (earth bonding). It’s being used as a switch live (hence it being sleeved red). As per @ianmcd, make sure you get the dual channel.

I don’t know mate, perhaps just the way it’s designed?

But according to the wiring diagram it shows the L&N in terminals next to each other at the opposite end ?

The way I read it was N (blue), Live (Brown), DHW off Grey, DHW on (black), Heating on (green/yellow - sleeved red). Are you saying the L and N are green/yellow for L and Black for N? I know colours mean diddly squat, but was just following the diagram, or how I read it anyway.

Hi the drawing reads left to right but the wiring is right to left so its N L HWOFF HTGOFF HWON HTG ON. HTGOFF has no wire in. Spoke to a mate whose a sparky and he said its a straight swao with the (dual) hive. Just replying to this to help anyone else out

Not sure if this should be a new thread but once Hive is wired in place of old programmer should i disconnect old 'reciever' or leave it in? If its left in will it causs issues?
