Hive active heating self install

[Dools]

Hi would anyone be able to help me
With a self install for hive active heating, the first thing I need to tackle is the thermostat in the hallway and my boiler is in the garage am I right in saying the wiring from the thermostat will run to the pictured fused spur ? Is this the right way to start this install any tips much appreciated

I will also add other pictures I’ve taken

If you’re certain the thermostat runs to that spur, then you’ll need to safely disconnect it, or join the 2 wires (live and switched at the thermostat). You’ll need a permanent live and permanent neutral from either the boiler or spur for thermostat Hive and then the 2 wires at the boiler can go to 1 and 3 on the Hive.

From the bottom of the fused spur there is 2 white cables that run into the boiler terminal block one of these cables obviously feeds the boiler to give it power but what is the other white cable
for ?

It’ll be the live and switched from boiler, to the spur, that then feeds your thermostat.

As your room thermostat has a neutral just put the Hive single channel receiver there, you will need a link between L and 1 and the switched live in 3 of the hive , boiler timer will need to be set to constant

this sounds like a much better option so my current thermostat has a red wire to 2 an earth to 3 a blue wire to 6 and there is a brown wire that is bridged to 3 and 5 ,can you help with how I wire these to the hive receiver please

So I’ve got this far switched all the power on and there was no power to the receiver

Have you set the boiler timer to constantly on?

I presumed this was constantly on but you might say otherwise , thanks for the help so far everyone it’s much appreciated

The yellow wire isn't an earth. It's the switched live, it should go to 3 and the red wire to L

Thanks so much for the help it’s much appreciated

For anyone else reading this, wire colours mean nothing in a heating system, so if you are trying to do the same as the OP do not think that your wire colours will be the same
