Nest learning thermostat stopped turning the boiler on

Hi,

I have a nest learning thermostat which has been working ok* for a year and a half, and suddenly stopped turning the boiler on. The boiler is fine, I tried alternative wirings. Nothing works. The nest "looks" fine: turns orange when setting the temperature higher than the current temp etc.

Any ideas? I'm pretty sure it's an issue with the Nest itself.
Thanks!!

(*) Temperature control was fine, WiFi connected according to the nest, but "offline" from the app most of the time.

More details:

  • Boiler-only system
  • 2 wires R and W coming from the boiler (connected to Rh and W)
  • External 24V transformer connected to C and Rc
  • The boiler is works fine: twisting the R and W together turns it on fine
  • Tried switching R with W and the two wires from the external transformer
  • The transformer on the boiler and the external transformer are out of phase (but nothing I can do about it)
  • Thought about trying the Nest Power Connector, but my setup worked before, so I don't see why I would need it now.

Hi gregleleu,

Thanks for reaching out and sorry for the delay. I'd love to know more about this. Could you share a photo of your current thermostat's wiring? 


Thanks,
