Hello all I recently brought the hive heating package with the hub etc. I have a combi boiler glowworm version etc. Now my only concern is we have a whopping great pump that feeds hot water into the conservatory for underfloor heating etc when I took the cover off the wireless receiver that's already wired into the boiler it seems it's all doubled up etc some wires going to what seems to be a electronic valve etc. Does anyone see any issues with this current set up that will stop be been able to install hive myself or a professional. See attached pics thank you for any help.

I’ve wired a couple of Hives and they have both been different!

Try and find your boiler specific diagram on google.
Don’t worry about your pump wiring as it’s probably wired to come on with the your heating so keeping the ‘doubled up wiring’ will keep it working as it is.

As long as the live and neutral are wired correctly to the hive receiver the com wires can be experimented with without damaging anything.

If you look inside the hive receiver then terminal are labelled like your current one, take a photo and wire it the same for a start

from you pictures its not quite clear where all the wire come from
- The black flex goes to the pump? and then somewhere else?
- The white flex is just power from a spur?

From your pics blue+black are neural, wire to N
Bottom brown wire is live, wire to L

? Top brown to 3 and a jumper cable between L and 1 <---- this I am unsure of

Hello again the white cable is from the boiler itself the black cable is from the actuator valve in the pic which I guess is to do with the pump the link wire is still in place as it states for 230v configuration which I guess is what the hive uses ? ThANKS
 
I'm looking for some help as I can't get an electrician to come! Too small a job I guess. I have a Grant Oil Boiler. Old clock timer and I want to install a Hive single receiver. I have Live Neutral and ground. To the Boiler I have Live Brown), Neutral (Blue), Frost protection (Red) and ground. I don't know how to wire this other than Live and Neutral in or ovbious. On the old clock Timer I had Live In, Neutral In, Line Out, Neutral out. The red front protection was combined with Live In.

Any help would be appreciated!
 
That receiver is only operating the valve from what I can see, not firing the boiler. You seem to have the white cable bringing power in and the black one to the valve, you will see on the black cable there are grey and orange cores which seem to be cut off (can only see grey stub), these ago to a microswitch on the valve that closes (makes) when the valve opens* which is often used to fire the boiler. Can we see where the white cable goes and how its connected?

I get the feeling that this reciever might only be to bring on heating in the conservatory when the main hourse heating is already running

*Yes thats how it is, a valve that is on is "open", whereass a switch that is on on is "closed" and vice versa
