Okay.

The humidistat is 2 wire. The thermostat is 4 wire (unless it's a heat
pump). The humidifiers I've run use 2 wire with a dedicated transformer.

Does your system have a combo humidistat/thermostat?

Not a humidifier. It's a humidiSTAT that goes next to my thermostat and
needs a wire running from the thermostat back to the air handler. It can
pick up 24V from the thermostat, but from there it runs to the "ODD"
terminal on the circuit board in the airhandler. I wanted to do it nicely
in case anyone ever followed me and said "What kinda wiring is this?"

All the humidifiers I have installed use 18-2. Haven't seen one yet
that
requires 8 conductor.

I need about 30 feet of #18 - 8 conductor thermostat wire so I can add
a
humidistat to my system. But Home Depot and all the others only carry
7
conductor. And all the sources of 8 conductor wanna sell me a big
spool.
So, does anyone know where I can buy 8-conductor by the foot?

Would appreciate any help!
