Fitting Hive 2 to a oil boiler in Spain

[jedder]

Hi all,
Can you help,
I have bought a Hive 2 active heating (heating only version) to replace the thermostat we have in spain,
Its an oil combi boiler (Tifel - Eurofel 40 See pic)
The exising thermostat / control only has 2 wires goin to it from the boiler (see pic).
Can someone give me an idiots guide to point me in the right direction of wiring this so that the hive 2 controls it.


thanks guys,
Jedder

You don't have a neutral at the thermostat so you need to replace the cable. The existing connections connect to 1&3 and you need a line and neutral to L&N.

Might of been better to get a nest.
The back plate you have shown does not go where the thermostat is. You can put that next to the boiler.
The thermostat connects through your broadband connection

Yes mate more than likely.

Don't put that back plate on where the thermostat is though. That just wants to go next to the boiler. connected like Lee said. The thermostat just runs off batteries and recieves a wireless signal. Can be fixed anywhere on the house (within reason)
