I think the answer to the OP's question is that, if you keep the AC setting on about 80 degrees, you don't need a dehumidifier to prevent mold or other humidity problems in your house. A humidistat is just a device to measure the relative humidity. You can buy one at Home Depot for about 10 dollars. It is not a dehumidifier.
