    We just got house rewired and new gas boiler installed. With the old boiler, using gas to heat water involved opening a valve in the hot press, but with the new boiler (Ideal Standard) we should be able to use the Nest (third generation) which we had with the old boiler, to choose to heat the water with the gas boiler. It seems that the Nest needs to be "told" that there is a new boiler as water heating is not coming up on the phone app. The electrician is a bit stuck and I'm no expert! Can anyone help?

    Might have answered my own question! Fiddled around Nest Pro under Settings on the thermostat and now have Water Heating on the Home Screen on the thermostat and the app. Just need to try it out.
