I recently had a Viessmann Vitodens 111-w storage combi boiler installed in my property but the electrician did not connect up the hive thermostat correctly. The central heating has 3 circuits, a UFH circuit for the kitchen (where the boiler lives), a zone for downstairs rads and a zone for upstairs rads. The system has 3 TRVs motorised valves installed and 3 Hive receivers. The UFH is connected to a single channel receiver but the rad zones are both connected to dual channel receivers. The wiring appears to be the wrong way around for the central heating, so I have to switch on the hot water channel to get central heating, and the thermostats therefore don't work. I have the thermostats paired directly with the receivers rather than through the hub as I'm not interested in any of the smart home features.
My question is, which type of receiver should be installed for this system? I was going to change them all over to single channel receivers but then I realised that the hot water timer might actually work? If a dual channel receiver can control a timer for the DHW I would like this to be connected but preferably shared with the UFH receiver as this thermostat will live in the kitchen nearer the boiler and the hot water time can be controlled from the thermostat.
