    My boiler is fitted with radio frequency that allows me to turn on/off heating (for a hour at a time, basically it replicates the Boost function on the LCD control panel) with a fob device. My question is: if I got the nest thermostat would it interfere with the RF and fob device? Will the Nest function normally?

    I'm not sure, but maybe just not use the RF fob any more. The Nest would basically replace the functionality. You could just use the Nest app or Google Home with voice to boost the heat when you need to.

    Will the nest not replace the LCD control completely as in you'll bypass it.

    If you run them in parallel it will not stop the RF signal as nest works on wifi (well all my nest devices do, don't have the stat though/
