    Help needed for changing an old 2 way 2 gang switch with a modern touch switch

    I understand now as I can see the diagonal line on the old switch separating the coms from the 1WAYS and 2WAYS. How do the these connections map to the new switch? If we call them com1, 2way1 and 1way1 and com2, 2way2 and 1way2 what connections (ie L, L1, L2 and 2WAY) do they map to?

    Replacing wired room thermostat for Google Nest smart thermostat

    I meant the Nest E as the boiler is fitted inside a kitchen cupboard so no room to install a receiver next to it. In terms of wiring at the boiler end, what do I need to check?
