    Hi Danny, without your video I wouldn't even have attempted this - but was able to set up everything first time in under an hour! You are a credit to humanity sir!

    Great video! Worked for me. I have the Worcester Greenstar 30DCI factory fitted built in wireless thermostat. One thing that is critical is to ensure you unplug the wireless module connection from the main boiler like shown in the video with the ribbon cable.
    If you don’t the the boiler takes the wireless controller input as precedence and doesn’t acknowledge the nest wiring into it.
    Once I unplugged the ribbon cable the nest worked as it should to call heating for rads!
    Massive thank you for the video!
    It saved me from a very frustrating day of working out what was wrong!

    Massive thank you Danny! When I opened up the boiler and saw that the inside of my Worcester Greenstar 28i Junior Mrk V boiler looked nothing like the neat control boards on all the other UA-cam tutorials my heart also sank. Thank you so much for this video, mine is now all set up and running.

Thanks again.

    Hello Danny! Thank you for your video, it is very helpful but I would like to ask you the question regarding the nest smart heating thermostat. Is it still in use in your house? You didn't have any issues with this? What benefits you can get regarding the heating or heating bills or is it just nice visual appearance? Thank you!

    • @dannybardsley
      @dannybardsley  2 роки тому +1

      Hi Peter, yep I'm still using the nest thermostat and it's great. The ability to turn it on and off remotely was the biggest thing for me, as for the cost benefits it's difficult to say, I honestly couldn't say if I've saved anything with it. It wasn't my primary reason for installing in the first place.

    Instead of connecting it from the boiler, can it be connected directly from the old timer so there’s no wires showing? My timer is in my kitchen.
    Also can the nest stat be powered from the old thermostat in the hallway? My old thermostat has 3 wires, a grey, black and a brown. Thanks.

    • @dannybardsley
      @dannybardsley  7 років тому +1

    I just installed a nest on a Bosch Combi 5000 37W (Australian model) which is almost identical to the 28i in the UK. Following the wiring diagram in your video was very helpful. However on the first night the hydronic panels got very hot, way hotter than with the factory thermostat, and almost too hot to touch. Anyone else had similar experiences?

    Hi Danny, thank you for making the video, I’m hoping it will be enough to guide me through wiring my Heat Link correctly! I’m currently struggling to find out what cable I should use to connect it and if there should be two different types used or not. Are you able to provide any guidance on this please? I’ve got a stand for the thermostat so that side of it should be simple. Any help would be much appreciated!

    • @dannybardsley
      @dannybardsley  7 років тому

      Hi Jay, I just used some flex 3 core I had lying around (from an old kettle i think) and sleeved the neutral. If you Google 4 core flex though that will do you. Depending on where you are putting the link you shouldn't need much say 1 metre. It's really straight forward once you start but just message back if you have any questions.

    • @dannybardsley
      @dannybardsley  8 років тому

      bradcla0707 - Hi pal, it threw me initially but on the 28i it was the casing first, 2 screws at the top and 2 at the bottom that sat in casings. Then a central screw and one just to the left of it for the stat panel which allowed the front to be lowered down. Then I could get to the wiring, under 3 screw covering, hopefully its the same on the 24i

Nest offers hot water control as well. is there a reason you dint use that? is that because this boiler manages hot water supply on demand and hence no control is needed?

Being able to turn it on and off as and when from phone should come in handy as well. Just waiting for a decent deal on one now rather than paying full rrp.

    • @dannybardsley
      @dannybardsley  7 років тому

      Yeah I got mine through the Npower deal which is the cheapest I've seen although B&Q seemed cheap with all the codes you can stack against it. One thing I have just thought of is where you place the thermostat as this will govern the houses temperature - I moved mine 3 times before I ended up having a happy warmth all around the house. Ideally you'd have a smart valve stat on each radiator but not at them prices!

    • @rustybaws
      @rustybaws 7 років тому

      Danny Bardsley Yeah I've been wondering where to put it. Definitely going for it on a stand so it can be moved around and not stuck on a wall. Will check b and q, get emails from them all the time with money off. Cheers.

      if you remove the boiler case on a room sealed boiler like the chap in this video you have to be gas safe registered to put back and switch on the reason bein you do not know if you have affected the combustion of the appliance ,you need to test with an analyser and test safety device also you would need to gas rate the boiler per gas safety regs as soon as the case is removed you are now officially worked on the boiler and have to do many checks

    I've got a Worcester 28i Junior, and the only thing I was thinking of doing differently was leaving the "Analogue Clock" timer (a MT10 unit) only leaving it in place and continually on, and just rewiring the thermostat "L/N/L(s)" into the Hive unit.
    It's more or less how you have done the Nest, but I don't see how you've disconnected the timer unit you had (I'll watch again, but feedback on my wireing idea would always be appreciated!).
