Connecting Nest to Stanley Twin Series 100K

Hi Lads,

Just wondering if anybody has any exerience/luck connecting a nest to stanley range/cooker. It's for my inlaws and I bought it for them for Christmas so I'm just getting around to it now.

I have one myself and it is simply connected int to the two connectors for the stat into common and N.O., but when I tried the same on their Stanley I was less successful.

Before they had no stat at all and there was a link between connection 8 & 9. I replaced this with nest but when I turn up temp (request for heat) it does not bring on boiler, or if I turn on boiler and turn down nest it stays on.

There's a built in timer for stove and I wondering if this would need to be disconnected, but as this also controls oven, I not overly keen on messing with this without some sort of instruction.

Thanks in advance,

Eoghan

Can be done. Those cookers have a twin time clock too slide switch for heating, bottom for cooker if I remember correctly. Installed another brand of smart thermostat before on one before completely bypassing time clock and leaving time clock for cooker operational. I'd suggest getting an electrician or even better a plumber familiar with heating controls to wire it in as cooler wiring a lot more complicated than oil boiler

Ya I work in electrical trade so I'm not too bothered about figuring out the electrics as much, but I'm fairly unfamiliar with CH systems beyond the basics. It just makes no sense to me that the thermostat can't be wired into it as normal, set inbuilt clock to be permanently on and then let the nest control when the boiler comes on or off.
If I had to guess where this would fall down would be that it would be constantly heating the hot water cylinder?

Are you just using it as a stat or are you going to use the hot water function of it too?

It would only be a room stat. The nest has functionality for both (gen 3) but the boiler is set up with just one two port valve on heating circuit, with no on dhw circuit
