ey everyone I’d like to say first of all I hope everyone is staying safe !

I’ve recently moved into a flat with a Siemens RWB1007 (to switch my heating on and off ) and my boiler is a Glow Worm I had to upgrade to a Nest Thermostat E and I’m trying to wire it up myself , I’ve basic knowledge of simple things and I was told this was easy but ... I’m struggling and to avoid hassle from the wife and kids I’m wondering if you could help me ?

I’m just wondering with the 5 wires behind the Siemens and the 5 spaces in the nest if I post some pictures of what I have can anyone help me wire this and if it’s not the easiest I’ll need to call for help

thank you again


If you are reading this again apologies I think I posted in the wrong forum earlier

The Nest-e is battery powered so the N and L presently connected to the RWB1007 are not required. They should be insulated / isolated and tucked safely out of the way. Then the wires in the timeswitch terminals '2' and '4' go to the Nest-e 'C' and 'NO'.

The RWB1007 is only a timeswitch, you don't mention any existing room thermostat, but if you have one it will either need to be left in place and set to maximum so that it doesn't interfere with the Nest, or removed and a small wiring modification made to complete the circuit. The old thermostat can't just be disconnected.....But if you haven't got an existing room thermostat then you can ignore this part.

Thank you :) I don’t have thermostat just the time switched on and off with boost and a clock on it the one with the 5 wires
 
That’s the one I’ve taken off to reveal those wires sorry

Seems I got it right when I said

Nest is a stand alone thermostat and programmer with some very cleaver algorithms built in and ability to work with geofencing plus can use opentherm, Hive does not have such cleaver algorithms built in can't use opentherm but does work with TRV to give room by room control.

If the boiler has OpenTherm then you really want to use it, if the boiler does not have OpenTherm then just to two wires already shown. I can also modify post.

They did but clearly corrected. I consider stand alone is when it does not connect to any other temperature measuring or controlling device, I suppose you could say because Nest connects to weather reports it is not stand alone, but most internet connected systems connect to other thermostats through the home, be it as master/slave with EPH or wall and radiator mounted control as with Hive, EvoHome, Tado, Drayton Wiser etc. Nest is an odd one out having OpenTherm which seems to put it into the higher control bracket, but can only measure the temperature in one room.

Hive is also an odd one out as no OpenTherm however with the heat on demand they have it seems found a way around having no OpenTherm, however £35 is the cheapest I can find a Hive TRV head for, so this house with 9 electronic heads so looking at around £450 at cheapest for Hive, and some of the others well over that, so I suppose Nest with no electronic TRV heads is a rather cheap system, well no not really a system it as said is a stand alone thermostat.

No the Nest is stand alone, i.e. it can be moved between rooms for convenience and can be wall mounted or on a stand, but requires power from a USB cable that has to be pugged in, the Nest E is battery powered and hard wired
 
I see your point, I have not got a table stand for my Nest Gen 3, it is hard wired, maybe I should get a table stand? but the radiators are under windows 90° to each other both with Energenie TRV heads and not convinced I would get the thermals required to work the Nest in such a large room, and of course can't be fixed in the room as lighting a log fire would mess it up.

very few people actually use nest or hive as actual thermostats, most just use them as an interface to control the heating via their phone , without having to get up to switch the heating on or off, sad but true, I fit lots and a good thing about them is for elderly customers where their carer or kids can see what the temp is in their house and can call to make sure everything is OK
 
where did anyone mention Hive ????

That would be me :whistle:. I had been on another thread regarding Hive and so typed 'Hive' instead of 'Nest'. As ericmark pointed it out I amended it for the sake of any others that come across this thread later.
