Possible Causes

Thermostat near bathroom or kitchen moisture sources, Rapid humidity changes from ventilation, Internal humidity sensor drift, Incorrect dehumidification settings

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No high‑voltage work is required.

  • Check location: Avoid installing the thermostat near bathrooms, kitchens, or exterior doors where humidity changes rapidly.
  • Ventilation patterns: Ensure exhaust fans and HRV/ERV systems are not blowing directly on the thermostat.
  • Compare with hygrometer: Use a separate humidity meter to verify readings.
  • Adjust humidity control: In settings, widen the humidity differential or disable aggressive dehumidification if it causes frequent cycling.
  • Replace if sensor is unstable: If readings jump wildly without environmental cause, the internal sensor may be failing.
