Help! Yet another Newbie Nest Question
Hi All,
I have a 2nd Gen Nest and an Aprilaire 600 attached to a Carrier Performance 93 Furnace. I was able to DIY the nest and get the heat/AC working fine, but for some reason I have never been able to get the humidifier working properly. I recently added the 90-290Q relay as recommended by nest still to no avail. I'm putting pictures below but am at my wits end. So questions for the pros:
1) is there another method of wiring this that I am missing?
2) is there a way to "hot wire" this setup so that anytime the heat runs the humidifier runs, bypassing the nest somehow?
Thanks in advance!

Close up of the panel. I do believe this is wired correctly per multiple diagrams found on here and the nest site. Please do correct me if i'm wrong.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

Looks like the nest wiring good. I don't think you need that relay. Just use the HUM terminal on the control board.

Thanks
I'll give it a try. So from the humidifier i'll have white>C and red> ?? (you tell me which lug)
Then from Nest I'll have white>C again and * (brown wire) to same humidifier lug?
Let me know which one is the dedicated humidifier screw and I'll give it a shot.
Thanks in advance.
