My boiler wiring has not gone to plan!

So it was personal contact and not through the thread, but what did you do to save the day? what was wrong? and how was it put right?

Boiler + happy hippy = boiler not working
Boiler - happy hippy = boiler working

Temporarily bypassed the zone valves so the system can work as a single zone! It’s only a small three bed! Happy Hippy will be returning after Christmas to fit a second Hive to split the property into two zones, I believe!

The programmer was wired directly into the boiler so when it was firing it up, it wouldn’t open the zone valves but instead just run through the auto bypass! Once Happy Hippy returns I imagine he’ll wire both receivers into the control box near the zone valves! A simple mistake which I see probably once a month!

But a long story short, what westward10 said!

Jesus Christ Westward. I am actually crying with laughter.
Although the sad, worrying truth is that it may well be correct
Luckily @LmarshallSparks has convinced me to go on a heating course, specifically for the electrics, so when I return I will have learnt that you can't change a 2 zone system into a 1 zone, purely by willing it to happen.

Which heating course are you looking at? I could be interested in such a thing myself! A weakness for me most certainly.
