Fitted my first hive with combi a week ago, no problems except app couldn't find receiver etc, just hade blue dash bouncing left to right on phone searching. Gave up in the end and rang Hive who were very helpful. She already had my customer details her end (wow, spooky) and just said cone out of the app completely and then back in again and bingo! Basically turn off then back on 😂 Don't know whether she done anything her end but all good.
Thank you for this video. After spending hours sifting through forums and wiring diagrams, I came across your clear and concise explanation here and had it all wired and up and running in less than 20 mins. Nice work.
Brilliant, recently moved house and took my Hive with me from my old home. The engineer who serviced my boiler wanted me to buy a nest and wouldn't fit the Hive, this video explained everything and its now installed and working. Thankyou.
You videos are fantastic. I'm 40 and just booked up a Gas course to retrain. You explain things so well and make it look easy. Keep up the good work my friend
I'm a plumber just started working on boliers 2 years I really appreciate these videos I'm learning so much . Everything you explain is very clear . Keep up the good work I will continue to watch these videos. 😎
thank you so much for clearly explaining everything. My boilerman left me the device and said it only took a few minutes to set up and was easy. Half a day later and I've got nowhere, but after watching this video, within 15 minutes everything is working.
Trying to set up the hive has taken days . Automated valves had to be installed on the old plumbing system. As this is a second hive used a different email for the account and a different phone . ( don't ask) All done but after the hub updated could not pair the receiver and thermostat. Checked out this video and it now works. You must follow the exact order to get it to work. 1 Hub installed and updated . 2 turn on receiver and let it flash yellow 3 Add batteries to thermostat and let it flash 4 then go to app and ask it to find thermostat. It works in seconds. I had been doing 4 before step 2 and 3 and getting no where. Listen to the man and do exactly as he says. Brilliant . Thank you
Thank you! My setup is going to be even easier, because I already have an external control unit routed out of my boiler. My boiler servicing company wanted to charge me £174 for this installation. Absolutely mental.
Absolutely fantastic detail in this video, I would never have approached this but wired my replacement Hive up over the weekend after changing to a combi and all working successfully.
Really good, well laid out and explained video. I'd recommend anyone to watch it all the way through before attempting and then again as you're doing it. 10/10
Top video, I struggled to get mine to connect. Hive were less than useless, wasted hours trying to pair up components. After watching this video. Sorted in ten minutes.
This video was so informative and helpful, can't thank you enough for making this easy enough to do yourself. In case it helps anyone else, I accidentally skipped the step to remove the link between RT and 24V on the left, and my heating was on all the time despite the controls being set to off, following the instructions properly and removing that wire fixed the issue. Thanks again!
Hands down the best reference video. I encourage everyone to view this video before installing hive thermostat, hub and receiver. Love the cutters can’t decide on left handed or right handed versions 🤔
Great video, fitted 3 in one day, I didn’t need advice on the wiring but not good with hubs and Wi-Fi issues. If it works straight away, it’s great. The logic steps and how long to leave it updating is worth saving this video. Nice job 👍
I have just completd installing Hive following this instructions and is all done took me about 1 hour , as my boiler is in the loft and had to get a cable from the loft into the living room where the received and Hub and thermostat is , amazing
Really helpful, thank you so much. I've just successfully replaced an old honeywell thermostat and receiver with a new Hive system thanks to your video 🙂
Absolutely amazing instructions, thank you, sir! I'm feeling well and truly proud of myself for doing a bit of an electrical project, without blowing the house up 😂 🎉
@@stuarthunt9999 No but its quite easy instructions to be applied incorrectly. Not saying the instructions is bad or you've done it incorrectly but theres a risk that if you do something wrong, you wont know until theres consequences later on. Most DIY stuff is ok but things like messing with the electricals in a boiler is too risky tbh.
Good that you put the brown sleeve on the white conductor but you should have put blue on the black conductor as well to indicate that it is a neatral.
Fantastic video, very explanatory but I also have a small issue. Open the PCB but can't see any RT slot; should I connect the grey wire to "3" port? Red wire bypass in-between "3" & "4". Can't attach a picture to see. Thanks.
Thank you so much for the instructions! Super straight forward. After looking inside my existing boiler setup i noticed that my RT does not have any screws to plug in the live (brown) cable that you add brown tape too. Can I just add the terminal block into the socket? If so do you know what kind of terminal block i should buy? Thanks again :)
Hi, really good video, which has helped me install a hive to my daughter's ecotec pro 28 boiler. I thought everything was working fine when I left her, but she has called me to say that the boiler won't go above 54 degrees even thought the boiler is set at 70 degrees for the central heating. Any advice would be great thanks
We just had a Hive put in this week, and took the guy over 2hrs !! Why it took so long ? I think most of the time wasted on trying to understand the software setup and I can tell the guy is clueless with technology. Your video made it look so simple and as a tech person I can see you have covered all the steps in details yet the process easy to follow, but I would never try to re-wire anything in the boiler, guess this is why we have to pay big bucks for trained engineers.
Top video I’ve just bought a hive and have the same boiler very easy to do know a little electrics and this was very helpful all up and running and all good thanks for the video
Hi forgot to say the hive I’ve got is the very first one that came out and the boiler is The Vailant Ecotec plus 825 don’t know if this makes any difference, cheers, by the way brilliant and helpful video
You’re very well articulated and your step-by-step instructions are very clear and detailed for any engineer whether novice or experienced. In this particular case with the Hive instructions filled with ambiguity, you’ve demonstrated the installation setup perfectly, Well done. No disrespect with my next comment; I just don’t understand why engineers choose the Hive, especially on the Vaillant as there is no real modulation on the Hive and doesn’t have OT capabilities. Nor does the Vaillant for that matter. The Hive is just a glorified on/off control. Vaillant’s own controls via the e-Bus connection provide modulation or the new Tado with its various Bus controls can be connected as a third party control capable of modulating the Vaillant boiler. I’m just curious with the thought process, this is in no way undermining or challenging you or this video, only to engage in conversation to better ourselves and one another through learning and sharing.
Thank you for your comment Jas, I really appreciate it! Yeah I get what you’re saying. This video was just to show how to set up the hive hub and app as I had quite a few requests. The only time I fit Hive thermostats is when the customer has already bought it or insists they want it. But recently I think Screwfix had them on sale so a lot of people were going crazy for them!
@@advancedboilertraining think it will work really well with weather comp as an on/off influencer on boilers that will accept it. I’ve wired and converted a Y-plan to PDHW on the Hive (that the customer bought lol) and that works well as some may prefer the look and cost of the Hive over the Nest or Tado equivalent. Great vids, with in-depth explanations on how to repair etc. Appreciate your work and work ethic.
@@advancedboilertraining they are £109 at the minute, my replacement Honeywell (overly complicated) thermostat was more expensive. So it's no suprise people go for the Hive. Household name and easy to use.
Great video, thought it would be a breeze wiring mine up but my Vaillant has a different PCB. Has L, N, E, 3,4,5. Have a fused spur and wired the receiver with L from spur and boiler going to L. N from spur and boiler going to N then 3 from boiler into 1 on receiver and 4 from boiler going into 3. Also have a link from L to 1. When you turn thermostat up the light on receiver clicks on but it won’t start the central heating on boiler. I’m stuck
Thanks, this is a really clear video. I am thinking of installing a hive on our combi boiler, it has a dial thermostat on the wall … is there any reason you can’t just leave the existing boiler control panel in permanent ‘on’ mode and replace the wall thermostat with the hive reciever? Surely it’s just switching on or off according to the thermostat and the setting in the app? Or am I thinking too simplistically? Thanks again.
Great video! Quick question, I have the same model however on the front panel is a clock timer. After connecting the same way egg timer flashes almost constantly, and radiator sign was flashing when thermostat was on. Any ideas?
I just replaced my existing Hive with the new 3 piece kit but after following your instructions I found I couldn't connect the new hub to British Gas servers so its worth knowing that you have to get in touch with the Hive helpline so they will remove the old Hive off their servers and install the new hub when they will need Id number from the bottom of the new hub.
Great video, if I was connecting multi zone. Would you recommend setting up one stat and then add the second heating/hot water stat via the app. Or do it all together
Absolutely brilliant step by step tutorial which actually made me buy the V3 with Hub. I have the same boiler and have followed exact instructions however when I set my thermostat temp the receiver light is fixed green but the boiler isn’t switching on. Can you help me here please?
Ive done this exactly as you have explained and all works perfect. Only problem is i keep getting an egg timer icon flashing and the boiler stops working heating side, what can i do to resolve this please.
Thanks for the video, we followed it exactly and everything worked except the boil did not fire up as it should, then we realised we have the centre manual controller, is there a simple.way to override this panel? Thanks
Hi. Good video thanks. I have fully working Hive system which is brilliant. However my neighbour who recently moved in needed to buy a hub for the existing installation. Seems to be working but the green light on the receiver which glows when boiler not being used is not illuminating suggesting it’s not communicating with something. What is this green light for? Thanks
Hi, I normally install the hive active heating without using the app. I then leave it for the customer to set up on their phone when they get home. If you use the app on your phone to do it, I presume that you just remove/unlink the hub from your account so the customer can then link the hub to their account?? Thanks for your videos. It very helpful.
Now mate, I followed this exactly and it does work but only if the hot water is on?? It’s the exact same combi boiler you are working on- thought I had wired something wrong but I have watched the video and checked to many times now, any ideas?? Cheers
I did what you said I fitted the receiver first it was working fine the tried to connect the hub that was 7 hours ago now the boiler is not working because it said I will have no control over the boiler so I’m freezing how did you sort yours out be very great full many thanks
Absolutely spot on bro! Thx! One question plse… if you have two zones e.g ground floor and first floor. How would you connect give, would you need second hub and receiver? Hope to hear from thank you!
Great video! But I am confused as to why on another tutorial they used 5 core cable and didn't do a link.. which is the correct or are both OK to do? Thanks/
hey mate, good video, just got a question though I see that you make that loop into the adjacent port with the brown wire, I was wondering why that was? briefly looking at the instructions they say to use a separate wire (Black), so just confused me a bit there, that's all
I cant remember the instructions off the top of my head but I remember them not being useful! If you’re going to wire the boiler 230V then follow how I’ve done it and it’ll work 👍
Thanks for the information. If installing in house with no internet can I just install receiver and will it pair with the thermostat. Obviously will not be smart until internet connected.
Hi thank you for the good explained video perfect! I have 2 zone heating system ( upstairs and down stairs.) Question I have will the installation same on all boilers? I have İDEAL LOGIC HEAT H12 !! also its S plan I have been told! Any help and info will be much appreciated mate. Thank you in advance.
Hi. Just watched you video on how to install the Hive V3. First of all what a good clear easy to follow video. Following your instructions in the correct order the flashing green light never goes out. I think it is a slow flashing light right from the beginning. I have called Hive twice the first time they said it is a problem with the internet supplier and to call them. which I did and they did all the checks and told me to call back Hive as it is at their end. I have done everything from turning my router off and on again but still no change. If I'm honest I didn't think Hive were right interested in my problem. Can you help.
Hiya great vid and just thinking of my my set up as thermostat has about died.i already have a control box on the wall next to same boiler us this one .Will it just be a case of wiring in the hive box and not having to change any wiring inside the control panel of boiler .it's a Siemens stat and control box
My boiler is a already connected to a honeywell programmer. Would It just be a case of disconnecting the existing programmer and wiring straight to the hive thermostat?
I have a gloworm boiler and Honeywell wireless thermostat HW & CH, if I replaced with a hive would I just have to switch the receiver on the wall and use the existing cable to boiler? Thanks
Hi I’ve just wired everything up as per your instructions, everything is paired up and shows up in devices on the app, but when i turn the dial clockwise to go above actual temperature and click dial the bottom green light comes on on the receiver but the boiler doesn’t fire up
Thanks
Hands down the absolute best video I’ve found to wire a Hive to a Vaillant, I rarely leave comments for anything but credit where it’s due, thank you.

Hiya great vid and just thinking of my my set up as thermostat has about died.i already have a control box on the wall next to same boiler us this one .Will it just be a case of wiring in the hive box and not having to change any wiring inside the control panel of boiler .it's a Siemens stat and control box
Thanks for the video, how do you wire this if you have zoned underfloor heating?
Cracking video. So what's the hub actually for? Just for using the system via the phone? Thanks again
Amazing Video, very clear and precise, thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Hi 👋🏾 thanks for doing this… can I please ask… is the installation the same for a hubless hive mini (Valliant boiler)?
Yeah it’s the same, I’ve got another video on my channel on setting up the hive mini on a Worcester (the set up is the same)
@@advancedboilertraining thanks for the reply bro, I’ll check out your other vid 👍🏾
My boiler is a already connected to a honeywell programmer. Would It just be a case of disconnecting the existing programmer and wiring straight to the hive thermostat?
I have a gloworm boiler and Honeywell wireless thermostat HW & CH, if I replaced with a hive would I just have to switch the receiver on the wall and use the existing cable to boiler?
Thanks
Hi I’ve just wired everything up as per your instructions, everything is paired up and shows up in devices on the app, but when i turn the dial clockwise to go above actual temperature and click dial the bottom green light comes on on the receiver but the boiler doesn’t fire up
Is the temperature on the boiler itself turned up?
@@advancedboilertraining the boiler is in idle mode but the temp on the boiler says 29•
Wow, a perfect explanatory video. Thank you.
