Swapping Existing Wireless Thermostat Receiver for Hive Receiver on Combi Boiler

[RipGroove99]

Should be a simple question hopefully.

I want to swap my existing Honeywell BDR91 wireless thermostat receiver on my combi boiler for the Hive receiver.

Existing receiver color scheme:

New Hive receiver:

All I want to know is which terminals to connect each of the 4 wires to in the Hive receiver. I know the boiler end of the wiring is fine and my boiler is already set to constant as my existing receiver works just fine.

Using the existing color scheme of the wires in my first photo, should it be:

Black wire to N on Hive back plate
Brown wire to L on Hive back plate
Grey wire to Com 1 on Hive back plate
Yellow/Green wire to Com 3 on Hive back plate

So essentially:

N on BDR91 to N on Hive
L1 on BDR91 to L on Hive
A on BDR91 to Com 1 on Hive
B on BDR91 to Com 3 on Hive

Easy as that then, thanks!

Apply some brown sleeving or insulation tape to that green/yellow wire, it’s bad practice to use what is commonly used as an earth wire.

Apply some brown sleeving or insulation type to that green/yellow wire, it’s bad practice to use what is commonly used as an earth wire.

Will do, thanks.
