BDR91 to Hive Single Channel Wiring (Baxi Combi 24)

[Paul W Marshall]

Hi All

I have purchased a Hive thermostat/hub and am looking for a little advise.

Currently wired to a BDR91 as below on a Baxi Duo-Tec Combi 24.


I am ok with permanent live & neutral but just need advise on the other 2 wires.
The green/yellow wire in "B" has been wrapped with red tape.

Can anyone advise how to wire into the hive as below please?

Thanks in advance for any help.
Paul

A is your live (black wire) and b is your switch / call for heat (red tape)

I would replace the cable with a 5 core. Taping the green and yellow red and using it as a line conductor is just a bodge.

Thanks for the reply. So which position would I put these on the hive ?

 

[Corbs]

Live and neutral as before

1 is a from old stat (back wire)

3 is b from old (red tape)

Love the fact that the post about using an earth conductor as live switch wire is completely ignored because it was not wanted the OP wanted to hear!

I’m afraid if you do not know you should be getting an electrician. Sorry to be so blunt, but electricity is dangerous and so many people that come on here asking for advice on how to install Hive or similar do not seem to realise this.
