I've had to leave the house now (we've not actually moved in yet!). However looking at my photos again the brown core in terminal 5 seems to actually be connected to the black cable.. bit tricky to see 100% as the orange cable is in front of it so that's my mistake. Will double check when I'm...

Here’s the end result: excuse the masking tape on the thermostat cores I’ve ran out of labels! appreciate I should probably also disconnect the ground. the cores are disconnected now and assuming all this works what’s the safest way to store them at the wire centre? Appreciate they’re no...

Just to confirm because I’m an idiot. brown core from heat demand is the core that’s currently in CH on at the programmer? And this is to go into terminal 5 at the wiring centre which also has a brown core at the other end which seems to be connected to the white valve? And all of this only to...

Thermostat live and switched live (assuming that’s brown and grey) are in terminals 5 and 7 of the wire centre

Sorry yes you’re right. 

Sorry for the delay. Here’s a photo: I was under the impression valves were the things in the metal boxes? However I can only see one in this cupboard.

I’m based in the Somerset area and more than happy for someone to come out if they send me a PM. I’ll be honest I was enjoying learning it to be fair. My view was that as long as I photo everything and label everything I can always put it back the way I found it. The amount of wires at my...

That’s most of my research out the window then! The blue does go into a terminal that also has grey cable connected to it but I’m not sure if they then go across to the other two blues. There seems to be 2 cores entering the wire centre from the bottom if that’s of any help? One of them is...

We don’t have a combi boiler. I don’t know fully yet but was under the impression we have a Y plan heating install. The wiring centre is upstairs next to the hot water cylinder. here’s a photo: 

Is it possible the thermostat could go to both the programmer and wiring centre?

Thanks for the advice. Will try tracing the cables tomorrow. My current thought process is old thermostat grey wire is the grey wire in the terminal block as I imagine the white cable also connected to this block is the motorised valve wire. I’ll confirm with a meter tomorrow but then hopefully...

Is it not possible to do away with the old thermostat wiring altogether?

The hive receiver replaces the boiler time clock which I have done. Then the Hive thermostat is completely wireless so the old thermostat is no longer required. However I think the reason I can't get the hive to activate the heating (hot water is fine) is because the wires for the old...

Hi All, Feeling a bit out of my depth here and regretting going with the DIY option on this! I've removed my old boiler programmer and wired the new Hive receiver as per the wirediagram. This was pretty easy as the old programmer seemed to match the new Hive receiver (I did have to change the...
