How to connect wireless thermostat to boiler

I’ve bought a wireless thermostat and opened the box, but now I’m staring at the boiler wondering where it actually wires into. How do I connect this thing to the boiler?

"Hi there,
If the wiring loom / connection points on your boiler require you to remove the boiler case, then I’d suggest getting a gas safe registered engineer to fit it for you, as you would need to run some basics checks when removing the boiler case.
Hope that helps"

"Hire a professional eg a qualified Gas Safe registered Engineer if boiler case has to be opened for wiring, a qualified Electrician can do the job otherwise. Thanks"

"Unfortunately it’s not something you can do yourself, you would require a Qualified Hesting Engineer to wire into the boiler. Unless you already have external controls"

"You'll have to get a qualified heating engineer to rewire the new thermostats. It can take up to about half an hour to install.
But if you really don't know what you're doing, I would ask an expert"

"Your thermostat would come with installation instructions, the reciever needs to be wired into the designated wiring centres in the boiler PCB, the thermostat can then connect wirelessly to the reciever. While most connections are standard, some can vary and will depend on the boiler brand and model aswell as thermostat brand and model."

"You will need a gas safe engineer to do this usually as the boiler case would need removing"

"You need to wire the receiver to the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) in the boiler, you can then pair the receiver with the wireless thermostat."
