  • Alright kiddoes.

    My boiler currently has THIS sort of basic thermostat which is fine but a pain to program. I'd love to have one that talked to a mobile app or Alexa type thing. Is that something I could install myself or will I need a plumber?

  • Does it have a receiver box which is wired into the boiler? If so, the hive system has an equivalent box which should be straightforward to swap.

  • I wanted to install Hive recently but from scratch with no existing connection between thermo and boiler.

    After considering frying the control board for a bit I decided to get a professional to fit one for £50.

    You can buy the Hive unit and have a nosey to see if things line up neatly and if they don't get a guy in to install it for you.

    If there is already a connection going to the boiler you should be well set to just connect the boiler to the wireless unit with the same wired connection.
