Hi, does anyone have experience of installing Hive on a Johnson & Starley Quantec HR 28C combi boiler?

I'm looking for a wiring diagram to help with a self-installation of the Hive Thermostat unit.

Thanks,
 
Just as per the Hive instructions, live and neutral to L and N, room stat connection on boiler to 1 and 3. Remove existing boiler link, if there is one, across room stat connections in boiler.
 
Thank you - This is the internal wiring - just want to be sure.

Is that as is, or new to the hive? Either way, can't quite make out the left hand side, but looks ok.
 
That's the wiring as it is, which is currently wired to a Drayton Digistat SCR. Here's some better photos...

Take the live and neutral for the Hive from the same connections as the mains feed, either at the boiler terminal strip or at the supply end.

The 1 and 3 from the Hive will connect to the room stat connections on the boiler terminal strip, replacing the ones already connected. You could also use Opentherm if the Hive is the latest version.
 
Thanks for your help with this - really appreciate it.

I have the latest version of Hive, so if I configure for Opentherm which wire goes in OT1 and which goes in OT2?
