Thanks for the heads-up. Successful with LADWP. It's actually purchased via their 'marketplace' from a lightbulbs.com or something like that. $5 shipping plus tax. Still a great deal!
Most of these utilities have a weak authentication where you use your zip + phone to get access to the preferred pricing.
I live in an area where one of this utilities serves, but not a customer of theirs (I have a different utility).
For lulz I went to the Yelp page of the utility. I picked someone with a unique name (since they only give last initial) and searched for their phone and zip on Google. Didn't work. Picked the second person with a unique name. It worked.
I never bought it of course. But man was it tempting.
These wifi thermostats require a C wire to get constant 24v power. They draw too much power to keep them online to run on a batteries. If you don't have a C wire you'll need to pull a wire either from your furnace or install a C wire converter on the nearest 110v box in your attic or basement and pull the wire from there.
Once you have a C wire it's a 10 minute job to install. Take off the existing one, take care to note which wire goes to which terminal (I recommend snapping a couple pictures) and then just hook those 3-5 wires up the same on the new thermostat. Might involve a little paint/drywall repair too since the Nest is a small circle and a lot of older digitals are pretty large rectangles.

My personal solution is just to charge the thing with a regular USB cable every now and then, at the unknown risk of hurting the boiler's electronics.

What is issue on boiler types? The see below part isn't there.
