I have just been on a heating (electrics) course and was informed that 'Nest' are leaving the UK.
Just thought it is worse you guys knowing as it may change your preference for which smart thermostats you fit.
I'm not really sure how this will affect anyone if you do still choose to fit Nest...
Hello, I'm trying to get a contactor to work with a nest thermostat to activate an oil filled heater rather than a boiler.
I wired permanent live and neutral to the two poles at the top of the connector (1+3), switched outputs to the bottom (2+4) then the common and demand lines from nest to...
Hi folks,
I'd like to get my Nest thermostat up and running with the gas combi boiler (Worcester Greenstar HIghflow 440 Standalone). FYI - I have tried to get this installed by a professional, but I've been let down 3 times now. 5 of 6 quote requests on the Nest website didn't even bother...
Hello, I hope you are well, I have fitted a few Nests but only to Combi, S and Y plan systems just been looking a job where I’m doing the kitchen, looks like the heating system is a C plan?
There’s 4 cables at the programmer, power in two 3 cores up to the wiring centre then a flex to the...
Hi guys,
Do you know if I can install a Nest E with the heat link in the airing cupboard as opposed to the room stat position?
System is a S plan with one heating zone, 2 channel programmer and room stat.
Was hoping to put the heat link in the airing cupboard, pick up a permanent live and take...
Hi all,
I have an issue which i assume is due to incorrect wiring, but hoping someone might be able help me to fix it myself.
My setup is a Nest 3rd Gen running downstairs heating and water, and a Nest 'E' running the upstairs heating.
The problem is that the downstairs heating won't turn off...
Hi, the circuit is pretty simple however shouldn't the boiler also have a permeant feed for the hot water as terminal 3 is the switch line for central heating?
Doing major renovation in our house and looking to tidy up phone line positioning etc. I've removed the old cupboard surrounding the CU and PV panel components, with a view to rebuilding a nicer cupboard housing modem and router.
I want to spur of the existing ring, however thanks to the pee...
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...
Hi Guys,
I hope somebody has an answer or a recommendation for another system.
I’ve had a Nest heat link and . As you may know there have been issues with the 2nd gen thermostat. I’ve been in touch with google support but my unit was 2 years 3 months old so no warranty replacement available...
I’ve long been a Nest advocate and pro-installer but frankly since they got taken over by Google they’ve gone to scat. I’ve three outdoor IQ cams myself and they’re increasingly tedious to keep going as well as expensive on the monthly subscription. Without it costing an arm and a leg, what...
Good evening my pedigree chums.
Can someone please tell me what I need to get to supply a stat going on a free standing base, because it is not clear? Apparently they do not include the usb plug and lead any more. If this is the case, where does one source said usb etc?
Hello
I recently purchased a nest smart smoke alarm. I currently have 2 mains linked smoke alarms (one upstairs and one down). My plan was to replace the existing with the Nest versions.
The instructions seemed simple enough but when I have removed my existing alarm downstairs I ran into my...
Hi, I am installing a nest thermostat 3rd generation. It is a conventional boiler with only 2 pipes going down. Pic attached. It’s controlled by a programmer upstairs and a thermostat in the hall. I’ve taken the old programmer off. And I have these wires. Pic attached. I wired the heatlink...

I have 2 Google Nest Outdoor cameras that I’d like to mount front and back under the eaves and power from the loft. Their power details:
“Plugs into a standard household power outlet
AC adapter input: 100–240V AC, 50/60Hz, 0.2AAC
adapter output: 5V DC, 1.4A”
This house is a rental, so no...
Hi all,
I've just moved house, and have found that the new place has a more traditional thermostat than my previous Hive setup.
I'm aiming to replace the existing Potterton Mini Minder E and British Gas RS1 for a Google Nest Thermostat.
I'm in the 'plan and investigate' phase of thinking...
I've had a look at the likes of the following:
In summary - run a 5 core from viessman boiler to a nest heatlink. Live and neutral to power it, then 2 cores for the control of it (plus earth).
All good, but I can't see a mains out from my boiler? And it matches the board on that YouTube video...
