[Help] New Boiler advise - 2020

[Rowdey]

Ah, this is what I was hoping to hear.
I no longer fit boilers and haven’t done for a while, I had a new boiler ( Glow worm system) fitted as a replacement this year, also had a Nest thermostat.
I got up at 2.30 AM for the fist 5 days to shut the heating off, Mrs has the heating programme on her iPad and phone and the heating was set to go off at 11PM and on at 6AM.
I rang the installer who I know, he didn’t know why, the Nest helpline thought I was making it up.
Mrs went online and found the answer in the end.

I’m not a fan of it myself, it seems to have a mind of it’s own I was at home on Saturday and the temp showed 22 and heating on, I turned the thermostat right down, 10 minutes later it was back on at 22.

I’m not really up on these things at all, I’m used to a normal room stat where as you know, turn it down very low and you definitely know it’s not going to turn the heating on unless it’s freezing

Classic - You can turn off i think in settings. Also anti legionnaires program too.

With our old boiler and programmer I seemed to be the only one that knew how to set the heating and hw, the programmer was fitted in a dark corner under the boiler, it was there when we bought this house.
I told my wife the new system can be all set up from her phone or iPad ( I was hoping for a quiet life )

You could’ve had my old hive kit for nothing, I had loads in the back of my car.
AND I would’ve thrown in my CH wiring board I used for training.
Got a new job now on the national technical support team so no need to get my hands dirty anymore

A traffic jam when you’re already late.
A no smoking sign on your cigarette break.
It’s like 10 thousand spoons when all you need is a knife.

Cheers mate

Pleased to hear about your new job.

How do you get on with the Nest thermostat, any problems?

Up until a few months ago it was great but it's now constantly reading 2/3 degrees higher than the true temperature. It's a known issue suspected to be the wifi chip getting warm and caused by a software update but google (who now own nest) are yet to release a patch,
Consequently I have to set it to 21 to get it to warm the house to 19.

Lots of unhappy people here : https://support.google.com/googlenest/thread/19492058?hl=en

Cheers for this info.

The hot water programme seems 100% and I actually like the design of the thermostat.
