I think what he was looking for is a humidistat control that will by pass your thermoneter on his air conditioner and turn off & on by the humidity in the building. I also am looking for the same. Harley
It's a little unusual to add a humidifier in Florida. The ambient humidity is usually high enough.
But anyway, if you want to do this and assuming you have central air with forced air heating, you could install the humdifier in a standard configuration, then use a sail switch or differential pressure switch in the supply air duct to turn the humidifier off or on when you are in the heating mode only. The sail or differential switch will ensure that the unit can't run unless air is moving and you can tie the humidistat in to the first heat stage.
One more thing - you may need to add a relay hooked in to heat stage 1 to switch 24 volts from the humidistat to the humidifier.One more thing - you may need to add a relay hooked in to heat stage 1 to switch 24 volts from the humidistat to the humidifier.
