Hive Multi Zone

Hi. I am intending to install a Hive system in my house. I cannot find any installation guides for two heating zones. I currently have two wired thermostats, one on the ground floor, one in the bedrooms floor. The wiring looks as attached in my Vaillant boiler. Any idea how to wire two single channel Hive receivers to this?

Why do you want two single channel Hive receivers?

Because I have two separate heating zones. As I understand it you have to extend the starter pack with another receiver if you want a different zone.

I looked into adding a Hive zone to heat my garage but was under the impression that you simply had to replace the single channel receiver with a dual channel receiver supplied with the extra thermostat.

Happy to be corrected.

Because I have two heating zones, not one heating zone and a hot water control, I believe I need two receivers.

We have 'upstairs' on one Hive 'thermostat' and 'downstairs & hot water' on the other.
IIRC, Hive can only do two 'outputs' and also we obviously need the 'stats in different places to regulate the heat.

Looking at the diagram I posted again, I can see what you mean.

Multi zone is covered in these instructions but they don't go into details on the wiring.

If I was doing it, I'd probably use this diagram as a guide.
