Good suggestion I'll wire up the L,N and Earth and leave nothing in Term3. Will dig out a plug in a bit and give it a whirlNo, it brakes the circuit when off (moon), makes the circuit (sun). I’m guessing @ianmcd got mixed up? I had a thought to test the hive - just wire it up with a plug and see if it lights up.
Ok will check the neutral tomorrowMy bad I got the symbols the wrong way round, if it works OK wired to a plug then the wiring at the boiler end is wrong, suspect the neutral is not wired in, as the last stat worked
To be honest you would be better and quicker to mount the receiver next to the boiler and get a length of 4 core or 5 core flex (B&Q) sell it by the metre, and wire the receiver direct to the boiler, then simply remove or leave in place the redundant existing thermostat. That is how it should be done, simply L&N from boiler to L&N on receiver, 3&4 from boiler to 1&3 on hive , either way round it doesnt matter, no links like you may have seen on other posts and job doneOn the money @ianmcd looks like the neutral is wired in but it doesn't track down to the stat. I'll double check where the stat is that I didn't miss anything.
Assuming the neutral doesn't run to the stat location, what are my options now?!
I probably need to check behind the fused spur also go see what's happening with the bridge off cabling down to the stat, that neutral must terminate in the spur if it doesn't track to the stat.
terminals 1&3 on the hive ,either way round doesnt matterWhere would the two brown sheathed ones go Hive side?
