I was looking for a humidistat today and found this statement on Progress Energy Website:
Proper Installation
A humidistat should be connected in
parallel with the thermostat so each can operate independently of the other's control setting. Recommended settings when used with an air conditioner are 85 degrees for the thermostat and 70 percent relative humidity for the humidistat.
See:

for a full discussion on a humidistat.
Was wondering if anyone out there knows if it should be wired in series or parallel?
