Hi
Ive just installed a nest v3 Thermostat to control heating and hot water on my existing system which is
Potterton Suprima 100L Boiler
Honey well ST6400C Programmer
Honeywell v4073A mid position diverter valve
The old system didn't have a main thermostat , just TRV's on every radiator.
I've installed the heat link as follows
Nest 1 CH OFF to Programmer 2
Nest 2. linked to Live
Nest 3 , CH ON to programmer 4
Nest 4 HW Off to prgrammer 1
Nest 5 linked to live
Nest 6 HW on to Programmer 3
Everything works fine, as long as the programmer is not plugged in, with both heating and water going on and off as expected.
The nest site says you can leave the programmer connected as long as it is set to continuosly ON.
However if i do this, setting both water and heating to ON on the programmer, even with NEST not calling for heating or water (Thermostat lower than room temp and heating off ), the boiler fires up and the heating comes on.
I did try setting the programmer with both heating and water set to off but in this case if the nest calls for hot water the boiler fires up but the diverter doesn't switch so the hot water goes to the radiators.
I can work quite happily with the programmer not plugged in, but if that's the situation I'd have to build a box to cover the exposed terminals on the back plate of the programmer, hence I'd rather have it plugged in.
Any suggestions ?
