r/HiveHeating

New Hive system has been on line for a few weeks now. I have noticed that in my devices, the receiver is labelled as a thermostat. That can't be right?!

We have a Hive thermostat in the hallway, controlling CH + HW for the house. We have the Hive hub (connected to an Ethernet switch and from there to our mesh wifi) + the app on the phone, working well.

Our extension will have a new water underfloor heating "zone" controlled with a manifold (see pictures). What would be the best way to extend the control?

(Note the electrics are part-way through a professional re-install, right now they are messy but working).

I'm looking to get Hive installed for my mum and it would be replacing an existing BG installed system from back in 2007.

Current setup is:
Boiler in external building
WR1 Wireless System (receiver in boiler room) with a Drayton Digistat thermostat mounted in hallway
Separate hot water controls (UT2) in the boiler room - at least it appears to be separate.
Not sure what is in the unmarked white box next to the WR1

Would a Hive install be suitable for this setup to replace the UT2 and WR1? If so single or dual channel (system boiler, not a combi). AI seems to indicate dual channel may be required along with a wiring mod.

Cheers
