I installed my second Nest thermostat recently, this one was a little more involved because it was for a 7 wire heat pump.

20120901-205451.jpg The Nest web site recommended this wiring. The only issue is that the Nest does not support a manual emergency heat wire so I had to leave that off. The Nest will still use emergency heat when necessary so I was not concerned about it.
