NEST, humidifier help

I am having a hare time figuring out how to wire my nest to the humidifier. So far I have the red and white wires coming off the pressure switch, than I am unsure of where to go from there? Any help provided will be greatly appreciated.

Humidifier - Honeywell HE360A
Thermostat - Nest, Version 2

Also purchased the relay switch from granger.

Thank you in advance,

You won't need the pressure switch anymore.

Wire it like you see on "Powered Humidifier" in the drawing.

Goodman GMT-070-4 with Aprilaire 700 and Model 60 humidistat

Hello, I have had this humidifier installed for about 9 years now and recently, due to a recommendation from an hvac guy when he was here to fix our other heater, bought the model 60 humidistat to update the system. I know people around these forums are not so keen on the automatic blower function but that is what sold me on it as I'm currently having to run not only the whole house humidifier but also a supplementary humidifer upstairs that I have to fill 3 times a day. Anyway on to the problem. I followed the wiring diagram exactly as it is shown on page 18 of the manual ( I can scan that if that helps). It was very similar to the original unit. basically everything is the same accept I took the G wire from the thermostat and connected it to the G pot on the model 60. The Gf was a new wire I had to run to the G terminal on the furnace. I do have an external transformer that was installed by the original tech that installed the humidifier. The basic function, which the old humidistat did, is working fine. The unit will turn on when heat is called for and shut off when the blower is shut off. The problem is when the unit tries to turn on the blower itself. It will click very fast and the blower never turns on. I went through the troubleshooting in the manual and it says when this happens to check the VAC across the R and C wires. I checked that and it's a constant 27 VAC. The next step is to check the VAC across the W and C and the G and C. These are also supposed to be between 22 and 30 but are not. Sometimes they are around 5 VAC and other times as high as 15VAC but I have never seen them above that. The manual has the troubleshooting, which I have found and know why it's not working, but it does not have any information on how to resolve the issue. Any help would be hugely appreciated. My HVAC company won't help me because I bought the unit myself which is why I'm doing the install. Thank you for your time.Read More

Relay & wiring same for Honeywell HE220 with Nest 2.0

This picture was very helpful. Thank you. Will the same wiring and relay apply when connecting a Honeywell HE220 humidifier? If not, I would appreciate a recommendation. I contacted Nest support but they would not provide any guidance.
