As stated in previous messages, a humidistat is the way to go. If you keep it at 60% humidity, it will put your thermostat to sleep and only use the air conditioning when the humidity goes above 60%. When you go away for an extended time, it is not the heat you need to worry about but rather the humidity. Mold and mildew cannot survive at 60% humidity or lower.

Invest in a humidistat. It is the best way to go.
