2nd thermostat wiring

Mattyar — Tue, 04 Oct 2022 00:05:46 GMT

I have a 3rd gen nest wired to my heat and ac using an isolation relay to keep the battery from the nest discharging as a common wire wouldn’t work with an individual heat and individual ac system. My heat has multi zone, so I decided to get a google nest for another zone. Lithium ion batteries last about a month before they die so I did get a power connector. My problem is that I don’t know how to wire it if there is already an isolation relay wired in my furnace for my other Nest 3rd gen. Any help?

So you have a separate heating and cooling system that is connected to a zone controller? Is that correct?

What is the make and model of the zone controller?

Can you post some pictures on how the controller is wired?

Sounds like you are going to need a couple of the Google Nest Power Connectors.

I have a separate heating and AC system. The heating is baseboard with a boiler in the basement. There is a nest 3rd gen in the living room controlling AC for the whole house and heat in all the rooms by my master bedroom. The master bedroom is its own zone. I had issues with the living room thermostat not holding juice, so nest sent an hvac guy and he installed an isolation relay on the boiler connected to that zone which is 80% of the house. I installed a Google Nest thermostat in the bedroom because my energy company offered it at a very affordable cost, but now that battery dies once a month on lithium AAAs. Attached are the photos.
