How do the heat link and the thermostat talk to each other?

Is it directly without using the home Wi-Fi or do they talk to each other through the home Wi-Fi?

thank you in advance.

My understanding is that they communicate via radio signals but they are independent of WiFi, if your WiFi goes down the thermostat should carry on.

Two options: a wired connection, where you are replacing an existing wired thermostat. Or wireless option, where you are replacing an existing wireless thermostat - in this scenario you need the Nest stand to power the thermostat.
