I can remove the hive receiver this evening. I can then put a temperature probe on the radiator to log the highest measured temp overnight.
Asking the obvious, you have replaced all batteries?

As said above I have taken the hive thermostat out of play by disconnecting the receiver.

I bled one radiator yesterday and recovered a bit of air. I will have to do an upstairs one
how is your hot water heated?
ours was doing the same, turns out it was coming on to heat the hot water to make sure there's no legionella
even tho we had it heating hot water a couple of times a day for 2 hours a time
can't remember where the menu is, google says it's...
Settings > Equipment > Bacteria Prevention menu on the thermostat
EDIT: sorry ignore me, I missed the bit about it's a combi boiler... could check to make sure thermostat knows that I guess

Section 4.5 dhw temp, check it's not too high
I had the same issue with my heating coming on of it's own accord. My system has a wireless 'stat and I'm pretty sure a neighbours device was interfering with my own. I tried different settings on the reciever, made no difference so ended up getting a new stat. Problem solved.

Boiler is still playing up - hear the pump or something kicking in randomly throughout the day now.
The boiler is also cutting out regularly throwing error "Temp rise too fast - safety shutdown"
Looks like I'll have to find a valiant engineer

Could have faulty thermistor, if it's giving wrong temp can cause boiler to light up on frost when it's no where near cold enough and give too big a temperature differential between 2 sensors so throws up another fault. They are relatively cheap things to start with.

whats it doing from a cold start up
dont just start it up and walk away you have to be near it and watch and hear what its doing and log everything of what its doing on start up
a restart when warm is the same thing but start up from cold shows issues or it points to where its preheated system

"Temp rise too fast" indicates a pump issue to me, firing up but not circulating?

The Hive app records when it’s switching the boiler on, you can access it by pressing the graph icon beside settings, it’ll show you when and for how long the boiler is running
But if you’ve disconnected the receiver and it’s still running sounds like a boiler issue.

Not if the thermistor is telling porky pies
