You will need to remove the link between LS and LR. Then you need a 5 core cable from the boiler to the hive receiver and connect as follows:
Boiler L - Receiver L
Boiler N - Receiver N
Boiler LS - Receiver 1
Boiler LR - Receiver 3
Boiler earth (green/yellow) - receiver earth terminal

I think it's possible to add illiterate to the accusations that you are rude. I *used* to be in the industry. Left it to go to a totally different working world. I this have no vested interest in these being successful or not. Here's a few actual facts for you though: heating bill 2014 - £1175. Heating bill 2015, £875. Change to prices, minus 5%. The rest? Intelligent heating. Lifestyle changes mean I had the heating on more. However, you household thermostat, that yellow dial on the wall, or your manufacturer issued digital one, is accurate to between 2 and 3 degrees. Nest, Tado and hive along with my old lot, offer accuracy to 0.5 degrees. The effect of your system is that your stat aims for 20 degrees, hits target and then heads on up to 22. (overheated energy wasted). It gets there, and then slams on the brakes, heading back down to 20 as it's too warm. It misses 20 and hits 18. (underheated). Your wife/husband/master shivers in the arm chair at the four degree swing, and walks over and cranks the stat to 22 degrees. The cycle repeats and you are wasting energy. This isn't conjecture. It's an environment agency doctrine generated to ask people to improve their heating habits.
Let's move past the bit where I am right and you are wrong and move onto your troll like tendencies. Does it make your heat hotter by insulting someone on a social platform for sh*ts and giggles? Does it stoke your coals? Well done big man. Good for you.
Technology isn't for everyone. I sold it ethically and with industry leading data and knowledge. It sounds like you need to climb down off your soap box and burn it to keep warm.

This or the nest v3? Any advice? Thanks.

IMHO The hive looks more aesthetically pleasing, but feel the Nest is slightly more 'feature rich'. For example, it has the ability to track your usual heating patterns and adapt the temperature according to this history automatically.

For me, it's Nest all the way because:
- it's better integrated with other systems
- they are constantly updating the software
- it now does hot water
- nest have also launched location awareness
- the 3rd generation is very very slick
Also ...
- if you know anyone with npower, ask them to buy it for you at the discounted rate (£129.99)

...need something like this to control individual rooms, rather than the whole house, and it starts to get very expensive when you start adding zones. Evohome might be more cost effective for this possibly, not sure, any thoughts?

Evohome will depend on the number of radiators in your home and your average heating bill. We've got 14 radiators and an oil boiler (oil is cheap at the moment), I figured the payback period on evohome would be around 10 years for me, so too long as far as I am concerned. There are potentially other options for you though - depending on your setup you might be able to zone your central heating (e.g. upstairs/downstairs) with a Nest for each zone. Depends on cost and whether two zones is enough for you.

At a time when the world is trying to reduce our carbon footprint, a device that turns the burners on before you get home is a shocking invention, behind the outdoor heater.

The nest thermostat is actually far more sophisticated than simply turning on the burners before you get home. For example if you get home at 5 then a traditional thermostat would probably need to be set to turn on at 4 to get the house warm regardless of the temperature outside. A nest learns how long it takes your system to warm the house up so will only use just enough energy to get your house warm when you want it warm. So in essence far from wasting energy it actually saves it.
