I thought I'd report with findings... I gave up on the thermostat that came with the house... I got a Nest. Not cheap but as ever, good things never are. It's a finely crafted, packaged and implemented device, this... I like how it connects to Wifi and knows the weather in my area and adapts accordingly... They even supply stickers for wires and a personalized graphics on how to wire it, if you send them a picture of your existing setup. Top notch service...
The Nest does indeed control the fan independently of the heat or cooling. So it works a treat for my humidity issues. It helps that it has a humidity sensor that I can see on the web page as I type this, so I can track the progress, fan on, humidity drops by a couple percent in 20 seconds... But it's not so much an issue in winter as the heater dries the air pretty well... It'll be great this summer though ! It also seems much better than the el-cheapo devices at "hitting" the temps you set and not overshooting... All in all, I love it..
