    Connecting a NEST Thermostat to Potterton Condensing Boiler

    ok-- an idea -- couldn't you but a 12V rechargeable (or non-rechargeable, or 5V) battery in a wall box behind the thermostat? ok you may have to cut a hole in the wall, and you may have to use the white panel behind the Nest to cover that over, but there would be no chasing (until you next...

    Connecting a NEST Thermostat to Potterton Condensing Boiler

    just to follow up.... all fitted quite easily over the weekend - including replacing the old thermostat with the NEST one, using the existing wiring to run 12V to it from the Heat Link, that I mounted next to the junction box in the airing cupboard

    Connecting a NEST Thermostat to Potterton Condensing Boiler

    I have the same thermostat and, I'm pretty sure, a Y-plan system. Whilst I think (so far - still researching it) that swapping out the wall mounted thermostat should be the easy option, I'd rather put the Nest controller where the current thermostat is. So, my thoughts are to buy a 0.5m...
