Compatibility of the NEST to adding a dehumidifier to my a/c - heating system

[Lady3bglover]

We are contemplating adding a dehumidifier to our current a/c-heating system. The AprilAire E130 130-Pint Professional-Grade Whole-House Dehumidifier. The system can be added to our Bryant a/c-heating system, but I'm having difficulty finding compatibility between the AprilAire E130 and the NEST. 

Please advise.

Hello Lady3bglover,

Welcome to the Google Nest Community! It's nice to see you here reaching out about your system's compatibility with the Nest Thermostat. 

For systems accessories such as dehumidifier, we strongly suggest professional installation for these systems because incorrect setup, either due to miswiring or wrong software settings, can cause weird heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) behavior and even damage the HVAC system.

Important: If your thermostat has a DEHUM or dehumidifier wire, it doesn't mean that your air conditioner has a dehumidification mode. The wire could connect to a standalone dehumidifier that is separate from your air conditioner.

Let us know if you have more questions.

Regards,
Mark
