Hi there

Had a Hive setup with wireless thermostat. Leaving the property and need to reinstall the old box but have lost it!
Have picked up a Drayton LP711 and thought it would just slot in. It powers up but when it goes to the "on" setting it quickly flicks out of this back to the off or setup option. Now I'm thinking it may need wired differently for the drayton time switch.

There is no wired thermostat.
Myson pressure jet oil boiler.
Old Switch only allowed heat/water on together (no thermostat) and has been the same with the Hive setup. Just want to revert to old setup with the Drayton.

This is the current wiring setup for the Hive.

I believe your Hive was a two channel unit (are there two buttons on the front of the receiver?), and may have been set up in gravity mode.
The new LP711 is a single channel programmer - it will only provide timing to hot water, or C/H.
 
Thanks, yes there was 2 buttons on the receive for the hive.
Any suggestions on something easily picked up a somewhere like screwfix to slot in?
