Ok, nobody's chimed in yet, so here's mine. Humidity control does not exist unless your HVAC w/electric strip heaters is modified so as to control to a dehumification setpoint by way of a dehumidistat. Effective dehumidification can only be achieved if the humidity is removed by way of the evaporator in conjunction with simultaneous heat so as to not over cool the house yet keep the unit in cooling removing moisture in the process.
In the absence of a control modification if your air handler has a multi speed blower motor, setting it on its lowest speed will draw more moisture from the air thereby decreasing the relative humidity.
