Google nest with two different heating systems

Hello,

I have a question I was hoping someone can help me with.

Current situation: I have a Central heating boiler with radiators in all rooms of my home. I have google Nest learning thermostat which works really well.

Desired situation: We want to replace all radiators on the first floor (living room, kitchen and hallway) and replace them with electric floor heating. Now I know this is not compatible with the thermostat. If I am going to use a separate system to control the floor heating, but still want to keep the thermostat (on the wall in the living room as it is wired) for the heating on the second and third floor, how do I make sure the thermostat measures the temperature in these rooms, as the thermostat is not located there? Can I add a second thermostat and link them? Ideally it would be a temperature sensor, but as I am located in the Netherlands this will not work I understand. Does anybody have an idea?

And am I correct electric floor heating is not compatible? And if it is, can the thermostat handle two heating systems?

Thanks!

Hello @Celaglar ,

 

In this particular situation we'd recommend only to move the thermostat either on the stand or rewired it in one of the rooms. In terms of the elcetric floor compatibility, the thermostat it's not yet compatible and it can control 1 zone for heating and 1 for hot water (if you have the 3rd gen).

 

You can check the compatibility here just to be sure

Thanks, this was indeed the solution I came up with later. However. we've chosen to take water floor heating in the end, so that should work just fine.

Thanks for the help and nothing more needed.
