    Replacing Centaurplus C17 with nest thermostat setup

    OK cleaned it up a bit... Only wire slightly exposed now is earth, and I connected the other earth to the two others and the heat link earth. What do you think? I had the heat link connected to earth via other cables already. Couldn’t see an earth connection on the thermostat itself though?

    Replacing Centaurplus C17 with nest thermostat setup

    For the right cable the earth and other loose wire isn’t actually connected on the other side - should the earth still be connected to the earth anyway? Yeah I need to figure out how to tidy the cables up, only reason I left them out like that was because the outer white layer was too...

    Replacing Centaurplus C17 with nest thermostat setup

    Replacing Centaurplus C17 with nest thermostat setup

    I see, thanks very much, I would definitely have got this wrong had you not mentioned the last part... So essentially I'll need to open the boiler to remove the cables connected to the thermostat, and connect these to the heatlink?

    Replacing Centaurplus C17 with nest thermostat setup

    Hi all, I've recently moved home and am looking at replacing our centaurplus C17 with a google nest setup. We have a combi-boiler (independent C30) going into the centaurplus, and a single room thermostat (honeywell). I've attached pics of all of these. Below you can see the wiring of the...
