Hi All,
I've got a British Gas/GlowWorm 300+ Boiler hooked up to a BG UP2 Programmer and WR1 Wireless Receiver/T4 Thermostat. In my current setup, almost everything bar the boiler lives in the airing cupboard alongside the HW tank - the T4 thermostat is on the wall in the hall.
I'd read that a Hive self install would be easy as the Hive Receiver is a direct swap with the old UP2 programmer - no rewiring necessary. That bit was easy, and sure enough the old programmer was soon replaced with the Hive receiver and Thermostat and paired with the Hive Hub.
I then removed the WR1 Wireless Receiver and the matching T4 thermostat and this is where things stopped working. All the gubbins in the airing cupboard is wired into a Honeywell junction box that houses cables coming from the UP2, the Hot Water Tank and a couple of valves and a pump. The grey and black wires (terminals 1 and 3) on the WR1 are doubtless what tells the CH and HW to come on, so removing it will require some wires to be switched around so that the Hive Receiver is in charge of this task, but which ones?
Thanks in advance for any useful advice.
