That web site states "The differential between the on and off points is =
fixed at 5% RH", which means the environment will vary 5%, depending on =
where it is in the on/off cycle. A decent thermostat will keep the =
environment within a degree or so and thus keeps the RH next to =
perfectly constant.=20

I had considered this subject humidistat and others also. I'm glad I =
stuck with the simple thermostat. It reall is easy to use and works very =
well.
