Absolutely spot on instructions. As someone who hasn't even attempted to wire a plug socket (due to being colour blind). I was very nervous about blowing something up but got it right first time with no problems. I don't think I would of managed it without this video lol.
😊😂😂?😊😊😊😊😊😊
Will this work on a ideal logic boiler.Bob
Thanks for the video. Self produced - no fancy production just an expert with an iPhone - brilliant mate
Thanks
Simple instructions. That is how it should be shown. Thanks very much.
Excellent video. Clear and precise. Used this video after losing the manufacturers instructions.
Had no trouble installing the thermostat and receiver.Pity the Hive app is not as clear.
Just wanted to say thanks, moved house and wanted to try this myself after removing it from the old house. Nice easy to follow tutorial.
This was very helpful. Managed to get mine done. You are a good no nonsense teacher. Cheers mate.
Hi, just seen your vid and it sorted my hive out. I just had a new baxi and wireless stat fitted but my wife wanted the hive system. watched another guy on here who said to wire it the same as the old back plate like for like. Turns out it was the wrong way round, boiler was on stat and app both said off. Followed your instructions and boom! It works as it should. Thanks Pete, love your no nonsense easy going approach by the way. Regards Dave.
Thanks for the video, I just wanted to point one thing which could be a potential banana skin. If you have an existing wireless control connected to the boiler e.g. a Salus wireless thermostat then you will need to disconnect this and loop the live and switched live wiring which goes into that existing controller. Often these are connected with a wiring loom onto the boiler PCB. I left the loom connected, stripped the ends of the live and switched live control cables and used a terminal block to connect them. Essentially you are replacing the loop which you remove from the terminal box on the boiler. If you don't do this, you will install the Hive and find that it cannot turn the boiler on, like I did!
Hi Roger. I’m attempting to do this just now with an old salus receiver. But there doesn’t seem to be a black and grey wire. Was yours the same?
"Like Plumber Parts, but without the fun." Pure gold my friend.
I aim to please…👍
I followed this video and Bob's your uncle worked a treat thank you for your help..much appreciated
3 days without the hive working, found your vid, put a bridge between live and 1... Hive is working! Thank you for posting!
You’re welcome matey... have a great Xmas.
Why the bridge ideal logic
?
@@PAULSMITH1967 that was a long time ago but basically it was to get 240v from the live pin onto the common pin.
@@monkeyfish6813 so one cable to stat from boiler to 3.. and jumper to common.. makes sense now.. diff pics on the net throws you off... Nice one pal heads up
@@PAULSMITH1967 exactly, most of the pics do not show this, typically once you know then there some pictures out there showing exactly this: i.imgur.com/OsqNuYS.jpg
Good old fashioned sound advice and clear instructions. Going to suoridse my mum with an install without fear of blowing myself up.
Thanks so much for this, you were the last piece of the jigsaw, now all working! Cheers!
I watch a few of these hive installation videos and they got 👎 but your video was very help and good closeups 👍 thanks
Thank you so much for this video I have spent the last 2 days trying to figure out why it wasn't getting the signal, hive customer service were no use and 4 minutes into your video I realised I had 1 wire in the wrong place in the receiver and boom it's working so grateful for you making this video
Simon Green 👍
Hi. What was the wrong wire? I have black wire in 3 and gray in 1. In his video they are opposite. Not sure if i need to swap them.
@@krakadylius1 did it work in the end?
@@krakadylius1 As long as it was opposite on boiler too, no problem.
Very helpful video, I managed to do the installation myself I am a basic DIYer.Peter was very helpful and professional with my query. Because of him I saved the installation cost. Keep up your great work mate.
I did exactley what he said; bearing in mind my ,confidence' and competence (DIYer) and BOOM...did exactly as he said. Well done my good man and thank you very much.
You not only instilled a bit of confidence, you reminded me of my limitations and knowledge, not to patronise the viewers. A natural for this..
Well done mate. Glad you got it sorted
THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU!!
Brilliant advice, all spot on and now works perfectly!
I was having problems going from a Honeywell R6660D receiver to the hive and this video was spot on!
Thanks so much! Really appreciate it! ❤
You're welcome!
this is the best vid ive seen just sorted it today . thanks for the info on grey / black wires. thanks Pete
Could not be happier. Having a beer in honour of sorting that out... cheers
Hi. What info did you get on gray and black wires? My ones are swapped. Black i 3 and gray in 1. Not sure if i need to swap them as in video or just leave as it is and add hive faceplate.
Have just made exactly the same with my combi, works perfect! Thank you so so so much!
Glad I watched this video.... Before I had wired up black to 1, grey to 2 and it worked... Except it wouldn't turn the heat off and ended up at 27 degrees. I'll try the grey in 3 tomorrow.
Helped me easily wire up my Hive receiver - lovely and clear instructions 👍
Hi
Video spot on, took me 40min from start to finish including setting up the app on my phone 👍
Thankyou very much just upgraded to a hive and followed your guide and now up and running 😃👍
Nice one I was just about to give up fitting mine! Then I came across your video and it’s all sorted…. Thanks :-)
You’re welcome mate. Glad it all worked for you
Spot on mate i followed your advice like for like , I didn’t power of the switch like the boiler told me to Instead I copied you and powered of the boiler and it’s fine so cheers
Thankyou for the video. I have a baxi combi and you made it a doddle. All done. Again Thanks. :-)
Many thanks for this mate 👍
Thanks man, was able to do it myself thanks to your video.
Just installed my hive setup today, all thanks to you and your brilliant tuition. Had issues with making the thermostat and receiver work but got them talking eventually.
Many Thanks again.
👍 absolutely perfect explanation for me to get this done in no time, thank you
Thanks for the info Pete. Sorting out the daughters boiler for her. A bit random seeing you pop up! 😊
A bit random indeed! Hope you’re well.
Just clicked who you are (name rang a bell but I wasn’t sure why...). Called Laura and she explained the relationship - ‘he was one of the few who you liked’ she said!
Hope you’re well Simon - our best to the family. Any issues then feel free to grab my number via Laura and give us a bell.
Really useful! Thank you.
Love your hallway 😉 especially ‘To God be the glory’ ☺️💕
Came with the house... wife won’t let me get rid of it 😉🙄
@@petegasguy I guess there are worse things to have written on your hallway wall! ;)
Great VID , dead easy , explained well , please do as he says , good to get simple advice. Thanks Peter.
Nice video, explained very well.
Thank you very much mate.

Thanks for your help! Top bloke
😂 Like plumberparts without the fun !! Mate you look as enthused about this job as me 😂👍 good vid though
😂😂
Ever get the feeling you spend your entire life arse covering and taking pictures of your bloody gas analyser incase something happens 6 months later... had enough of this bloody game!
Thanks for comment - hope you’re well mate.
Nice one mate helped us a lot took us abit of time to figure it out but got there at the end with your video
My god it worked just like you said. Thank you so much.
Lovely. Hit the subscribe button and we’ll call it quits.😂👍
Thanks for video. Funny at the end it’s like plumber parts without the fun. Made me lol!!
Thank you for this videos just installed mine and work perfectly
Brilliant demonstration and very clear.
👏👏👏
Excellent- I watched this before going to install one for the first time & was spot on - cheers!!
Sean Cairns lovely stuff... enjoy!
Awesome mate thanks 😀
Thanks for this. It worked for us.

Thanks 🖖
Very clear, much appreciated!
Thank you mate
Thank you very much mate excellent video 🙏👍
like x khan said below, job made easy by 1 watch of this video. many many many thanks.
Hi love your video. I just bought a hive heating and hot water. My problem is my old grunfoss thermostat only has live neutral earth and black wire. It's the black is the my problem has to how this will work in 1,2,3 or 4. TIA Ben.
subbed thanks mate. just a tip - film in landscape ;)
eazyrat ah yeah - cheers mucka - noted... welcome aboard!
Hope you’re well.
Brill mate. Cheers 👍
I just blew up my boiler done wiring as on video but for some reaons it blew up is changing control panel is the case or need replacing whole boiler?
I have an existing Honeywell receiver... I tried connecting the grey and black wires to number 2 and 3 but the heating did not work... tomorrow I will try the same way as you and connect to numbers 1 and 3 thanks in advance mate !
Just successfully installed my hive thermostat on my logic combi c30
The only thing that wasn't clear to me was, does the black and white wire have to go a certain way when joining on the open therm terminal in the boiler. I either guessed correctly or it doesn't matter.
Otherwise excellent video. Thanks so much. Legend.
Hive doesnt support open therm mate… room stat/timer
Good vid
You made this bloody job nice and easy pal much appreciated thanks 🙏🏻 a lot and god bless you .
By the way I’m a diyer lol
What happens if I have too live and two neutrals and no other wires, I wired mine , it will come on but won't switch off , help
Pete cheers mate funny informative vid 👍
Ideal mate thanks. 😀👍🏻
Spot on Thank you 👍
Top video mate cheers!
Cracking vid,and a bonus ,,More views than Naghy
Indulge me… wtf is a naghy?
@@petegasguy Its a typo of Nagy as in Thomas Nagy
Like yer style fella 👍👍👍
Cheers Pete 🍻
My boiler goes through a fused spur. My boiler wont turn off unless i switch it off. I have the live in and outs going where they should. My thinking is I've done something wrong with the black and they grey. I dont have them in the fused spur. They're in a plastic connector thingy linking the stat and the boiler. Should the cables be going into the spur?
Combi boiler?
Usually to a link in the boiler thats often marker ‘room stat’ - but lots of diagrams online
Followed the video to connect a combi up BUT connected to 1 and 4(not 1 and 3 ).works
Why watch the video then 😂😂
Glad it worked for you
Liked your video thanks
Good info well explained
Hi where do the wires connect into the boiler on a viesmann 050? I have live neutral on left and then N 1 L on right with a black link from 1 and L? Many thanks
Does it matter what way the black and grey wire go?
My cable doesn’t have neutral. No blue. Just brown, black, grey, and earth. Is this ok?
hi wiring was great help only one thing on a vokera do you have to bridge live to one side of on off
thanks ron
I'm reusing the wire that's come with the old thermostat. It's a baxi combi and installed only a few years ago, but the old thermostat wasn't grounded- the wire doesn't come with a fifth ground like yours did. Does this matter??
The hive is double insulated- earth not required.
How do I wire for a dual Hive receiver (I want to be able to turn the hot water off) Boiler is a new Worcester Greenstar 18/25 oil combi. Wires I have are brown/grey/black/earth/blue. Thank you
Happily new year’s
Do you agree....
Sparky: fused spur boiler supply.
Plumber Gas: thermostat.
The landlord 😅
My combi only has a spur running into it at present and nothing else, when I wire the programmer into the boiler (I have taken the front off and this look easy enough to do..... very clear instructions form yourself thank you!) Do I need to also run a cable from the spur into the programmer? or can this just be wired into the boiler circuit?
Hi. Thanks for the great video. Quick question about the connections in the receiver. You used 1 and 3 for the switching circuit. The current hive instructions show 2 and 3 as being heating on and off. Is this a recent change? Also, I'm not sure if I use 2 and 3, do I need to link the live to common. Thanks!
Combi is different to heat only…
Combi is 1 and 3…
Heat only (tank system) is different
Brilliant Thanks
As the Hive can’t control modulation why sit a fancy on off switch?
I'm swapping from a Salus receiver. I have the L and N connected but the other 2 wires are also Brown and Blue.
They are in ports marked NO (Brown wire) and COM (Blue wire).
Any way to tell before dismantling the boiler?
No and com into 1 and 3 I suspect mate. Orientation shouldn’t really matter
@@petegasguy Hi Pete, excellent video, like John I am swapping out a Salus receiver for a Hive, my wires though are Black = Neutral, Brown = Live, then Grey = COM and Yellow/Green is NO. The Hive is up and running, but does not control the boiler, the boiler is just on constantly, any ideas mate?, thanks in advance
My boiler currently has a basic wireless thermostat and a receiver , the wires I have in the receiver are brown , blue and 2 black am I correct in saying the two black wires I have go to 1&3 on the hive receiver but how do I know which way around both being same colour or does it not matter ?
Luke Walton hi mate.
send me some pics via email and i’ll take a look. combi boiler?
peter@combicert.co.uk
Pete Combicert very kind offer thank you ,I have sent you the photos .yes it’s a combi
Thanks for this. I have a baxi boiler. I’ve opened my old receiver but the black and grey wires aren’t there? Any ideas? Thanks
Keep it up mate
I want to wire the hive receiver to my baxi boiler I have no thermostat at the moment just the standard dial with tabs to set the timer, will I need to connect both black and grey wires or just one
Hard to say without seeing it.
I imagine - back of programmer in boiler - connect the 2 black wires.
Hive - follow video instructions
Great vid. Most helpful I've come across!!
Question though. I've changed from a standard plumb centre wireless thermostat to Hive, but I cant get the heating to come on, only the hot water works.
I only have 4 wires in my wiring for the receiver. Neutral (black), live (brown), earth (yellow/green), and then one grey wire which I'm assuming is for the heating on. There's no black wire for the heating off.
Any help??
Hi. Nice tutorial. My current combi boiler has grey wire in 1 and black one in 3. Thats opposite from yours. Can i leave it like it is or should i swap it? If i dont need to swap it i guess i could just mount hive receiver face plate on the top of the backplate withouth changing anything?
Thx
Stupid question I am sure but where did you get the wire from? Did you pull it out of the boiler? Buy it from a shop? Which type please? I have never seen wires with that many different coloured leads.

Do you need to have a cable in neutral? I’ve got a black brown and grey cable, plus another cable that’s just covered in black tape so I’m not sure what colour it is
How did the guy blow his boiler up was it an actual explosion with the gas etc or just an electrical fire?
Stuck it in OT - 240v down there and the thing went pop… out of warranty and several hundred £’s of repair bill.
Do you not wire it into opentherm side then make the boiler more energy efficient
do you wire hive up to OT??!
Great video. I have a wireless unit (Drayton) currently connect to a Worcester combi single channel boiler thus enable / disables boiler via temperature set via timer schedule on the boiler via isolation switch and thinking about replacing with hive.
However took a look at the wiring of the existing unit and look almost the same except the black and grey wires are reversed wired ( grey in 1 and black in 3 ) as a posed to your video/ hive install manual will this be an issue if kept as is or does it need to be changed over?
Also boiler has a timer schedule how will this work? Does it need to be removed, disabled or does the boiler need to remain on constantly thus managed by the hive unit?
Hey, I've just installed mine on a baxi duo. It had a mechanical timer fitted that I've disconnected and put in blocks. All wiring double checked and correct but I've no heating just hot water. Could you advise what I'm supposed to do with the 4 cables that went into the mechanical timer please? Thanks
I also have Drayton wireless unit and Worcester boiler, and my grey and black are the same as yours, I was wondering if you just left them the way they are or swapped them over as per this video, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated 😁
