On most thermostats, there is a humidity setting that you can turn on or off and set a humidity percentage. If you turn it on, the AC will come on when the humidity is higher than the setting. The problem with this feature is that the AC will overcool your house to about 3 degrees below the thermostat setting. If your thermostat is set at 75, the AC will cool the house down to 72 to reduce the humidity. So, you are compromising by making your house colder than you want to reduce the humidity. Personally, I don't like the humidity option and never use it.
