CH stays on

Post by purpleglow »

Hello

I have NEST 3rd gen wireless thermostat and Viessmann boiler with a unvented cylinder.
The system has a honeywell mid position valve (v4073a1039) and a two position valve in Y configuration

On the app when if I switch on CH it comes on. However when I turn it off the boiler is still on.

I believe wiring is ok
On app
Both off 1,2,4,5 are live grey to mid posn live
CH on 2,3,4,5 live white/grey live
HW on 1,2,5,6 on none live
Both on 2,3,5,6 live white live

When Ch is switched off I noticed that white has 57 V. The orange wire in the wiring centre also have 57 so this is being fed to boiler. I understand this can happen with Honeywell valves but I don't get why the boiler does not switch off as it is not getting 240v

If I turn HW on and then turn it off the boiler then turn off as orange has zero

Any ideas?

Thought I'd seen this problem before, dug around and this could be the reason:-
