It communicates to your boiler by a dedicated radio Frequency.
The nest receives the radio frequency through the heatlink which you install next.
As it's permanently hard wired, the heatlink is the part that communicates with your boiler.
To correctly install your nest's wiring, consider hiring a professional electrician, and use a circuit that matches your existing heating system.
Helpful wiring diagrams are included in the instruction booklet that comes in the box.
Then **** the heatlink to your wall or cupboard near your boiler.
