Hi,
I would like to install a Nest thermostat (just for the design, possible savings and control via the Internet is nice).
I went on the Nest website and did some reading here and there and apparently the Nest thermostat is a simple on/off switch to the boiler. Therefore, the Nest thermostat itself only uses 2 wires (crusted = on I assume).
However, I opened up my current thermostat and there I see 4 wires (see picture). Is also normal that it is a bit more complicated because I can select night and day and separately set temperature for day and night ed.
The boiler is controlled by an Elco Klockner Logon M (see photo). I assume that this is in direct connection with the thermostat. The Elco controls 2 circuits (underfloor heating and radiators).
So at first sight I don't see how I can connect a Nest, so I wonder if there is anyone with experience with similar installations and Nest?
It has to work somehow I think, I could set the Elco to always be in 'day' mode (no more day/night) and then use the Nest to tell me when heating is required.
I know there is another box in between, the Heat Link, that should probably go to the Elco and then of the 4 wires to the current thermostat I only use 2 to go from the Heat Link to the Nest thermostat.
Any help or advice is welcome!
Thanks in advance!

Hi @philz,
Thank you so much for reaching out. This is a very good question indeed. Can you tell me if you've tried to run a compatibility checker?
Let me know how it goes.

Tried but didn’t find any answers

Got it. Thank you. No worries. Could you tell me please what answer you've received on the checker?

I have been using another checker:
https://store.google.com/us/widget/compatibility/thermostat?hl=en-US&GoogleNest
Looks much more detailed, the other was says it compatible, but I still have my doubts

Understood. Could you tell us please which wire is going where so we can tell for sure?

Hi @philz. Just checking in, did you manage to check the last message from my colleague?
