Ask The Real Pin 5, he's really helpful.

I disagree. I have 2 different reasons to use the Nest systems I own. One is in a holiday home. I do not have to leave heating on or even set low when I am not in the house. I can monitor the temperature and switch heating on and off accordingly. I can boost it in very cold weather and tun...

Ben, Is it an S Plan or Y Plan connection you are doing (or other)? In either event, first thing to do is connect two cables between T1 and T2 on the heatlink and the Nest stat. (any way round , it doesn't matter). I would suggest using the L and N cable from your diagram. Connect to the Nest...

No, I didn't want to introduce the 2nd heatlink into the thread discussion to complicate things yesterday, because I knew once the first was wired correctly, the second would go in without issue. So I went ahead and wired heatlink 2 up for the bedrooms zone this morning as well. The Horstmann...

I have removed the Horstmann and left just the wiring block. I have taped up the hole as I am awaiting a blanking plate and at that point I will disconnect wires at the junction box. With the power off, Ill likely do a continuity check back to the junction box. Am I right in saying there is...

I agree but it turned out a non starter for me, it would have been the easier option but I could think of no easy way of running 4 spare wires to the Horstmann timer box (for 2 x Homelinks) to supply 12v to the 2 Nest stats and I wanted them wall mounted in the same place as the old stats. There...

Done.:rolleyes: And would be more than happy to help anyone in the same predicament.

I'm not sure if the second installation option is valid, it would be easier and neater if it was possible, but in retrospect I don't think I will be able to get 4 wires in there for 2 stats. The two links might install easier , but I want to have the two stats in the same place on the wall.

Stem, I was typing my last post as you posted your advice. Sorry about that. I presumed all of these systems had a timer unit by default. I also need to locate the cylinder stat to make more sense which I will do later. I will also endeavour to find out what every wire coming into the junction...

Would it be a viable alternative to mount the two heatsinks in place of the Horstmann timer unit thereby not having to mess with the junction box in the airing cupboard? Here is the wiring diagram for my Horstmann Channelplus XL, Model H37 3 zone programmer. and the corresponding wiring on...

If anyone can genuinely help with the original post, I would appreciate it. I have completed one install on a yplan system, and I am nearly there on this one, but some advice would appreciated on my questions above.

Here we go again. You post a serious question on a DIY forum and get this crap as a reply. Why is it that this forum seems to now be polluted by self righteous ****s that have little interest in actually helping someone, and more interest in dissing people looking help. Its always those with...

anyone?

Hi, I have successfully fitted a V3 thermostat on a yPlan system in my holiday home. I have two more to install now in my own house, which has 3 zones, bedrooms (heating), main house (heating) and Hot water. This I presume is an Splan install. The install is obviously different to my last one...

Hi, I spent a few hours fitting this yesterday to a holiday home I own. Yplan boiler, hot water tank, thermostat in hall, timer in kitchen. Once fitted, the wife was yacking at me to leave for the journey home, so I didn't get time to fully test it. However, I did get time to fire up the...

Cannot find a suitable one anywhere online. 45mm diameter 85mm overall height inc arm. The only one in 45mm I saw was 5mm to short. Has anyone any idea where I might pick one of these up online preferably?

Ok, I turned off the water supply, ran the hot and cold tap until water stopped. Exp tank registering only about .3 bar. I have repressurised it up to about 3 bar (old car foot pump doesnt seem to want to go any higher!) and switched the water supply on again.. Exp tank registering about 3...

Oh, erm, right. Thanks for that.
