Boiler Diagnostics
Boiler Diagnostics looks after your boiler so that you don’t have to. It monitors
your appliance’s health, and will send you an alert if problems are detected.
The Boiler Diagnostics Module connects to your boiler and monitors its
behaviour, reporting any detected problems to the Hive servers. It also includes
Hive Active Heating receiver functionality for easy integration of Hive Active
Heating with your appliance.
Installation Overview
Installation should only be carried out by a qualified engineer.
There are three types of installation, depending on your system:
1. Installation of Boiler Diagnostics together with a new Hive Active
Heating (HAH) installation
2. Installation of Boiler Diagnostics into a system where Hive Active
Heating controls are already present
3. Installation of Boiler Diagnostics only (the system has non-Hive
controls that are not being upgraded to Hive Active Heating)
Each type of installation is described in detail later in this document.
For all installations that include Hive Active Heating, this manual should be
read in conjunction with the Hive Active Heating Installation Manual.
Package contents

• Boiler Diagnostics Module (BDM) – either single channel for combi
boilers or dual channel for conventional boilers

STEP 1 - Install the hub
If a compatible Hive-branded hub is not already present in the home, one must
be installed (if there is already a Hive Hub in the home, skip to page 7,
‘Compatible hub already present).
To install the hub, there must be a broadband connection with a spare network
port. There must also be a power socket nearby. Once these have been located,
connect the hub as follows:
Fit the power cable into the hub and
plug it into the power socket.
Connect the hub to the household’s
broadband router using the network
cable provided.

Once the amber light is flashing, the hub is set up and you can move on to the
next installation step.

If a compatible Hive-branded hub (Nano 2 or later) is already installed in the
home, then simply press and hold the button on the side of the hub until the
middle status light starts to flash amber. Once the hub’s amber light is flashing,
you can move onto the next installation step.

STEP 2 - Remove Existing Hive Receiver
If there is an existing Hive Receiver installed on the system, this will need to be
removed. This step is not required if this is a new Hive Active Heating install
or if this is a Boiler Diagnostics only install.
Important information: Before you get started
• Before fitting, isolate the mains electricity supply to the central heating
system. Confirm it is isolated and secured in the off position for the
duration of the installation. Remember to always follow appropriate safe
electrical isolation procedures and test to confirm that the supply is
isolated before touching any electrical connections.
• This product should only be installed by an electrically skilled person
competent in the installation of electrical accessories. The wiring must
comply to the current edition of BS7671 (The IET Wiring Regulations), and
the appropriate Building Regulations or Standards in place.
• The BDM is double insulated so doesn’t need an earth connection. You’ll
find a tether on the backplate to secure an earth wire if needed.
• This product is designed for fixed wiring installation only. It must be
supplied via a switched fused spur with a minimum contact separation of
3mm (both live and neutral) and fitted with a 3A fuse.
Loosen the screws on the underside of the Receiver
and, lifting from the bottom, remove the receiver
from the backplate.

Installing the correct BDM
There are two types of Boiler Diagnostics Module
• Single channel BDM - for combi boilers
• Dual channel BDM - for conventional boilers with hot water tanks
Page 10 Boiler Diagnostics
3a – Installing the BDM
You should fit the BDM in a convenient location close to the boiler or
central heating system. Make sure it’s at least 30cm away from large metal
objects, such as a boiler or hot water cylinder, to avoid interference with radio
signals. Take care to avoid any cables and pipes that may be buried in the walls.
Once you’ve found a suitable location, install the BDM as follows:
Loosen the screws on the underside
of the BDM and remove the
backplate by pulling the bottom of
it away from the front panel.
Fix the backplate to the wall with
the terminals at the top.
Run suitable cables from the
boiler or wiring centre (as
required) and then continue
on to the next section to
wire up the backplate.

retaining hooks on the backplate. Push the BDM onto the backplate and then
tighten the retaining screws.
3f - Additional Installation Information
Replacing an existing thermostat
If you’re replacing an existing wired thermostat, you should ensure that the pre-
existing wires and connections are made safe. This can be achieved by
disconnecting or bridging out the wired thermostat in the wiring centre or
boiler. Where cables are left at the wireless thermostat position, they should be
housed and terminated within an enclosure to prevent access. If you’re
replacing an existing wireless thermostat, decommission it by detaching it from
the wall and removing its batteries.
Gravity-fed and part-pumped systems
Gravity-fed and part-pumped systems are wired differently to standard boilers.
With these, the hot water relay switches on the boiler, whilst the heating relay
opens a valve, operates a pump, or both, to divert hot water to the heating. If
you are installing into a gravity-fed or part pumped system, complete the wiring
and then switch the BDM to ‘gravity-fed’ mode as follows:
1. Switch off the power to the boiler and BDM
2. Wait at least 5 seconds, then switch the boiler and BDM back on
3. Press and hold the hot water button for at least 10 seconds
The BDM status light will flash BLUE for 3 seconds when entering ‘gravity-fed’
mode. Or GREEN for ‘fully pumped’ mode. Fully pumped mode is the default for
new devices.
Boiler Diagnostics Page 13
STEP 4 - Commissioning
Commissioning uses the BDM iPhone App to connect to the BDM over
Bluetooth, leading you step-by-step through the required process. The process
varies dependant on whether the system includes Hive Active Heating or not.
Boiler Diagnostics Only install
1. Open the iPhone app and connect it to the BDM over Bluetooth. On-
screen prompts will lead you through this. You’ll need to enable Bluetooth
Pairing on the BDM by pressing the recessed button here:
2. Using the app, disable the Hive Receiver functionality within the BDM.
3. Using the app, configure the BDM with the requested boiler information.
4. Using the app, test the temperature sensor operation on each pipe.
5. Using the app, check that data is received by the Hive servers.
Once completed, the app will indicate that the BDM is operational.
Boiler Diagnostics and Hive Active Heating install
First, the Hive Active Heating functionality must be tested. To test the BDM to
boiler connection follow these steps:
1. Visually check the wiring to confirm that the connections have been
carried out correctly, referring to the labels on the wires and any
photographs taken before replacement began.
2. Confirm that the BDM’s front panel is in place and that it is safe to
commission the boiler.
3. Check the middle light on the Hub is flashing Amber – if it isn’t, go back to
step 1 above to check the wiring.
4. Restore power to the heating system – the BDM’s status light should flash
AMBER. This means it’s ready to connect to the hub and thermostat.
5. Test the BDM’s wiring to the heating system by pressing the Central
heating button. The GREEN light above the Central heating button should
come on and the boiler should fire up.
Once you’ve completed these tests, leave the BDM switched on. Install the
thermostat – this requires a factory reset if Boiler Diagnostics is being added to
an existing HAH system. Refer to the Thermostat manual for details of this.
• You’ll need to use a small torx screwdriver
to press the button.
• Bluetooth will remain in pairing mode for
60 seconds only, so press again if
necessary.
Page 14 Boiler Diagnostics
Finally, complete the commissioning using the BDM iPhone app:
1. Open the iPhone app and connect it to the BDM over Bluetooth. On-
screen prompts will lead you through this. You’ll need to enable Bluetooth
Pairing on the BDM by pressing the recessed button here:
2. Using the app, configure the BDM with the requested boiler information.
3. Using the app, test the temperature sensor operation on each pipe.
4. Using the app, check that data is received by the Hive servers.
Once completed, the app will indicate that the BDM is operational.
• You’ll need to use a small torx screwdriver
to press the button.
• Bluetooth will remain in pairing mode for
60 seconds only, so press again if
necessary.
