Well, that's hilarious. Many UK houses to get their hot water from a tank heated by the same boiler as the central heating system, with both turned on and off by a central timer plus individual thermostats. It sounds like the Nest can't handle that, meaning you still need a separate non-Nest timer for the hot water as well with its own user interface.[1]
