Hi

I have a Honeywell sundial programmer and wireless thermostat model no st9420c on an s plan system

I am about to change it to a nest3rd gen learning thermostat and just wanted to understand which wires need to go where

I know I will be told that I need to a qualified electrician and I will be asking a friend of mine who is actually a qualified electrician to do this for me but he has little knowledge of wiring thermostats or nest specifically and hence the question and to be sure we have this right

I attach a picture of my current timer that is wired up and working as it should

You can see the ports on existing timer and this is all working fine as follows:
N coming in from mains
L coming in from mains
1 empty
2 empty
3 hot water on - this comes from the common on the hot water tank
4 ch on - this comes from the two zone heating valve - brown wire

From what I have read and understand the wires need to be changed as follows for the nest:
- N and L just go to N and L on the nest heatlink
- Port 3 from the Honeywell needs to go to port 6 on the nest for the hot water
- Port 4 from the Honeywell goes to port 3 on the nest for the central heating
I also note I need a wire to link live on the nest to ports 2 and 5 on the nest and link them up

I have attached some pictures and hope this makes sense - if someone could advise before I do this that would appreciate it

I have read up and done my research and this looks like it is right but if someone who has done this before can confirm that would be great

The wiring description is all correct. :)

I'm not sure why you have posted a photo showing the connections for a Hive Dual Channel Receiver, when you are fitting a Nest though. Unless it's there to be representative of the existing Honeywell Receiver wiring.
 
Thanks stem

My error with the picture - I thought that was a picture of the existing Honeywell wiring

Thanks for confirming the wiring - we will have a go at this at the weekend
