Nick,

If you "ignore Smarty" and use the original parallel combination of t-stat
and h-stat which was incorrectly recommended, you wind up with a system that
switches the a/c off as the humidity rises, and thus does exactly the
opposite of what is required.

My suggestion was (and is) to avoid adding an extra relay and power source
by choosing the correct type of control, namely, the Honeywell I recommended
or something equivalent to it. A parallel connection in this case will work
exactly as expected, namely to turn on the a/c when either the temperature
or the humidity level called for additional refrigeration.

I thus do not understand your recommendation to "ignore Smarty".

Could you please clarify?

Thanks,

Smarty

To add to my post: To compensate for what Smarty says, you would need
to put in a 24 volt relay in the h-stat that would turn the load off
when the relay is on, and turn the load on when the relay is off.

Ignore Smarty. Just buy the right kind, eg Honeywell's H46C1166...
