I agree with the Heat comments - no need to turn that on when gone in the winter.
Be careful with the humidistat. They work great when set for a 'decent' humidity level (maybe 60%?). Put it too low and it can work against you. I've tried many levels and 60% is about right. But it comes on about the same amount of time during the summer as setting the temp to 80. The danger with setting to 80 is that the air may not come on enough to keep the house dry. At least this has been my experience. But we're never away for more than 10-14 days or so.
