Do I need the Heat Link if my boiler has wi-fi

Hi.

At the moment I have a Worcester Greenstar 42CDi, connected via wifi to a battery powered Digistat thermostat.

I'm thinking of installing the Nest Learning Thermostat.

Do I still need to install the Heat Link, as the boiler seems to have a wi-fi connection built in? Can I simply install the Nest thermostat and connect to the boiler directly via wifi?

Thanks

Hey @cj1739,

Thanks for reaching out. You'll still need the Heat Link even if your boiler has Wi-Fi. It sounds like you might have a proprietary system. Just to be safe, I suggest reaching out to the boiler manufacturer or a Nest Pro to check if the boiler is compatible with other thermostats.
