    Erin and all,
    We have also spoken with Nest recently in regards to wiring and they suggest using the resistor wiring as shown but they do suggest using a 220 ohm, 5 watt resistor instead of the 1,000 ohm, 0.5 watt resistor we supply with the controllers.

    Also make sure to pre-charge the Nest so that the battery is at 100% before wiring to the ZVC or SR controls.

    Do the Taco ZVCs apply power to close the valves, or are they assumed to be self-closing? Said differently, does the Nest connect power from Rh to W1and C respectively when calling and not calling for heat?

    Is there a similar instruction sheet for Nest to Taco XPB-1 with 2-wire application?

    Many thanks!
