Step-by-step guide: Screenshots and videos are placed with the instruction they illustrate.

Smart Humidity Control and Display brings exciting features to the Smart Thermostat. Users with an eligible Smart Thermostat (Smart Thermostat HD, ADC-T2000, and ADC-T3000) can view and control the humidity level in their home or business using the Alarm.com app or GoSafer Security customer portal (powered by Alarm.com).  

Humidity notifications provide an extra layer of protection against mold growth. The Smart Humidity function is beneficial in varying climates from very hot and humid areas in the summer to very cold or dry areas in the winter.

For information about installing or configuring Smart Humidity, contact your service provider.

View current humidity level

Users with a Smart Thermostat and compatible security panel or hub can now see their current humidity level by clicking on the thermostat card on the Alarm.com app or GoSafer Security customer portal (powered by Alarm.com).

The ADC-T3000 can display the humidity percentage locally in all modes when the Display Option in the User Settings is set to Humidity and the temperature is set to Fahrenheit. Humidity display is not supported when in Celsius mode.

Note: To view the humidity level on the Customer Alarm.com app or GoSafer Security customer portal (powered by Alarm.com), a firmware version is not required for the Smart Thermostat. However, to control humidity, the ADC-T2000 requires version 1.50+ to be compatible with Smart Humidity Control. For information about how to find the thermostat firmware, contact your service provider.

            [ThermostatThe Rule]humidity differential feature maintains a comfortable balance of both temperature and humidity levels in your home and is only necessary when the air conditioner is used to dehumidify the home. The humidity differential prevents a thermostat that is dehumidifying using an air conditioner from cooling too far below the cool setpoint. The default setting is 3⁰F (1.5⁰C) and generally does not need to be adjusted.
