    Nest v3 - heating not switching off

    Can't find an identical problem, so here goes. Nest v3 installed in the summer, by my local gas engineer. Don't want to bother him again as he took pity on us and charged us an unbelievably low price to sort out many issues left by a previous cowboy. Heating and hot water are on a Y plan...

    Advice on wiring Nest Thermostat E to Alpha Eco Combi Boiler

    Hi, I.m looking to add a Nest Thermostat E to my Alpha Eco Boiler. The boiler has no room stat but just a timer. My understanding is that I should leave the timer in and set it to always on. I should then remove the link connecting 1 and 2 and run instead two wires from 1 to NO/Call for heat...
