Turn on central heating when no wifi with Nest system ?

[Mikeyt201]

Hi,

My daughter's wifi has gone down, all of south west London Virgin users have no wifi for past 3 days due to someone cutting a cable.
She has just moved into a house with Nest installed and is using underfloor heating to get heat.

Does anyone know how to manually turn on the heating with the Nest.

I know nothing about Nest but am visiting her tomorrow and hope to be able to help.

Best wishes Merry Xmas

You should be able to override ie turn on & off heating by pressing the botton on the heat link.

You might think, 3 days or more to reconnect a cut cable.
This is from the Mail, it's allegedly the "Cut" cable;

With no WiFi the Nest will continue to operate exactly as it normally does, the only thing you loose is the ability to control it remotely.

Full control is available from the Nest thermostat without WiFi

I've seen that, apparently it took out 5x 240F, 4x 160F, 1x 288F, 1x 120F, 1x 96F, 2x 48F fibre cables, that'l keep the splicers busy for a while.

That's 2536 fibres to be relaid and spliced at each end...

That's going to very expensive. As others have said it will continue to work as normal bar outside access
