I have recently purchased Hive to control my central heating and hot water and it's all wireless.
The only problem I have is that my old system has a thermostat in the hall that I obviously need to remove as I'm replacing the thermostat and controllers etc.
When removing the old thermostat, can I simply blank off the wires and hide them safely, or instead do I need to connect the red and yellow wires together to create a permanently live circuit?
I feel that if I don't create the circuit the new controller won't work, but I wanted to check this is safe, before burning my house down.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
