Combination Nest and multi-room possible?
Need Answer
I am planning to setup a multi-room heating system with the Zipatile. Idea is to use a Zipato virtual Thermostat for each room with a POPP radiator valve, a Secure thermostat,and for the entire system a Secure boiler switch.
Is there a way to combine this system with the Nest thermostat? Idea is to use the Nest for the living room, and use zwave radiator valves in the other rooms.
Is it possible? What do I need? What ere limitations or considerations? Any help is welcome.

Nest is not really supported by Zipato, you cant chance the setpoint.

That's not true. I have a Tado thermostat (which is my master thermostat, connected to the boiler), and two Nest thermostats in the bedrooms. I control the set points of all the thermostats via rules in the Zipabox. I do this when there is a reason to deviate from the standard schedule programmed into the thermostats - for example: it's a weekday but I'm at home because it's a public holiday; or it's a weekend but I'm out of the house, etc.
To be honest I don't know anything about virtual thermostats in the Zipabox - I have no idea what they are for. I have the Nest thermostat devices added and control them directly. The Tado is controlled via HTTP requests.

When I say that I control the Nests directly, I refer to the devices with the thermometer symbols. See screenshots.

Here is a guide we made for you guys on using the NEST thermostats with the Zipato platform.

Thanks Vedran, that's clarified a few things.

Hi Vedran, many thanks for the guide. I saved it for future reference. Can you please clarify, why would someone need to follow this complex (from simplicity point of view) workaround to get the nest working with zipato heating (virtual thermostat)? I was under the impression that the integration exists long time ago and it is full. Is this not the case?
