If you upgrade to the Honeywell 9000, it will independantly control the humidity via the AC unit or a stand alone dehumidifier.

It also has a remarkably easy to set up & execute vacation mode where the 8000 only recognizes how many days you tell it in advance you'll be gone.

One version of the 8000 will alow the AC to be employed to reduce humidity by allowing a 3 degree over-run from the set point.

I use the Telephone Thermostat's. I can call and change the temp. It will also call me if there is a problem like too cold or hot in the home.
