All,

I have recently purchased the Nest Thermostat with Heat Link and looking to replace my existing Honeywell T6360B. This thermostat is on the ground floor (lounge) and the boiler upstairs in the bedroom (combi boiler)

My Honeywell T6360B is wired as follows:

The wiring is as follows:

Red - Live 230V
Blue - Neutral
Yellow/Green - Earth
Yellow - Connected to live supply when calling for heat

It looks like this:

The heat link is to be wired as follows:

Can I therefore connect the Red to 3, Blue to N, and the Yellow to L with a jumper cable to 2. Is it that simple or am I missing something?

I will be connecting the actual nest thermostat via USB.

Any help would be appreciated. I am considering bringing a professional in but would like the above answered so I can understand the install. Thanks!

You need

Red to Live (L)
Blue to Neutral (N)
Yellow to 3
And a short Link from Live to 2.

Does the earth need to go anywhere? Does it matter than the heat link is downstairs and the boiler upstairs? The manual recommends it's placed near the junction box. I could trace the wires back to the junction box I guess.
 
You don't need the Earth connection for the heatlink. Just make sure it's safely covered up so it can't come into contact with any live wires.

You could trace the wiring back to the junction box as that would probably be the tidiest place to install the Heatlink rather than on the wall where the old thermostat was located, although that too will certainly work OK.

If in doubt, post a picture of the wiring centre/junction box and someone will help.
