Hi all
Have had a request from customer that would like their immersion heater controlled via a Nest. It has standard 2 elements and is not on Economy 7. My initial suggestion was to just put in on a Horstmann timer but he is adamant would like it on Nest, has bought the bits already including relays. My thoughts we're that this would require 2 nests to control both elements individually and would become convoluted and impractical. In all honesty he seems to have quite a bit of electrical knowledge......maybe a bit more than me in regards relays and nests. He has previously set up a standard electrical heater in similar fashion with a relay. He sent me the attached drawing of how he proposes the Nest to be wired, my question is, is this feasible and are there any glaring errors that would make this impractical to be used with a Nest and immersion with 2 elements?
Many thanks for any clarification on this
