@Steveningles , the incompatibility comes from the B being used and no Y terminal and no G terminal.  Your current  thermostat is either controlling a heating system only such as baseboard heating. Can describe for me your HVAC system? Heating and cooling if you have both.

@Steveningles ,

If you notice your current thermostat states for 120/240 volts only. You need to verify your system control power using a Volt Ohm multimeter.

Thanks @CoolingWizard   The thermostat states it to NOT connect at those levels.   This could be 24 volts as the wires are small. Are one of these wires interchangeable with a more satisfactory choice for nest?   Example, can I select “R” instead of “RH” and that will suffice?   I don’t think  it’s a voltage issue but I could be wrong.  It’s a newer house with radiant heat only    Thanks again.
