[QUOTE="Mike23, post: 509261, member: 33766"] Hi All, Feeling a bit out of my depth here and regretting going with the DIY option on this! I've removed my old boiler programmer and wired the new Hive receiver as per the wirediagram. This was pretty easy as the old programmer seemed to match the new Hive receiver (I did have to change the backplate though as the old programmer was one of those rectangle ones the hive can't connect to). The part I'm struggling with is getting the Hive to actually turn on the heating with my old wired thermostat removed. Online people talk about bridging cables at the wire centre to bypass the thermostat altogether (as of course the new Hive thermostat is wireless). However, I'm not sure if I even have a wire centre (that might be a stupid question!)? The reason I think this is just due to the amount of cables behind the programmer compared to others in youtube/forum guides. I've attached 2 photos of the wiring for the Hive receiver and also a photo of the wiring for my old thermostat before I removed it.
