A humidistat is a device used to control the operation of space conditioning systems such as air conditioners, dehumidifiers and humidifiers. When used with an air conditioner, for example, the humidistat cycles the unit on and off based on humidity rather than temperature as provided with a regular thermostat. A humidistat set at 70 percent relative humidity, for instance, will cycle the air conditioner on when relative humidity reaches 70 percent or above, even if the thermostat setting does not call for cooling.
