图12至17提供示意性的但非限制性的关于在HVAC控制器内改变和/或查看增湿和除湿设置且可以通过HVAC控制器20所显示的屏幕的示例。具体地，图12-15提供示意性的屏幕，该屏幕响应于某人按压或者另外选择增湿按钮156(图11)而可以通过HVAC控制器20被显示，而且图16-17提供示意性的屏幕，该屏幕响应于某人按压或者另外选择除湿按钮158(图11)而可以通过HVAC控制器20被显示.
图12提供可以包括指示用户选择或设定他们的除湿设置的文本524的示意性的屏幕522。HVAC控制器20可以例如将增湿设置使用在控制比如整个房屋的增湿器等的增湿器中。HVAC控制器20可以例如显示用在调整诸如增湿等运行参数中的参数调整单元。参数调整单元可以包括至少对运行参数的当前设置提供定性指示的指示器。
为了示意性说明，屏幕552包括具有标度528、显示530、向左箭头532以及向右箭头534的滑条(slider bar)526。标度528可被看作包括以比如“干”、“舒适区”和“湿”等相对或定性的术语来描述增湿设置的文本。这些具体的术语仅是代表性的，因为其它术语同样也可以使用。更通常地，标度528可以向特定的湿度值(例如42％)提供定性的内容，使得不熟悉湿度值的用户仍能够选择适当的湿度设置。
如所示意的，显示530可以提供提示，该提示是正被显示的室内湿度设置以及当前室内湿度设置或者当前室内湿度读数。图13提供具有显示538的示意性屏幕536，显示538提供对当前室内湿度设置或读数以及防霜已被激活的指示的显示，如将被相对于随后的图所讨论的一样。
回到图12，滑条526可以被看作包括指示器按钮540，需要时，可以使用向左箭头532和/或向右箭头534来向左和/或向右移动指示器按钮540。指示器按钮540可以相对于标度528提供相对的或定性的湿度设置的可视化指示并且如果需要，可以包括与标度528相互配合的指针(pointer)。对于所显示的参数，标度528可以提供数字上限和/或数字下限。在一些示例中，指示器按钮540可以包括室内湿度设置的数字表示。
在一些情况下，指示器按钮540可以响应于用户按压向左箭头532或向右箭头534而向左或向右移动规定的距离。在一些情况下，指示器按钮540移动的距离可以至少部分地为向左箭头532和/或向右箭头534被按压的次数的函数。在一些示例中，指示器按钮540移动的距离可以至少部分地为向左箭头532和/或向右箭头534被用户按压住的时间的函数。在一些情况下，指示器按钮540可以为触摸敏感(touch-sensitive)按钮，并且可以通过用户触摸指示器按钮540以及将他们的手指向左或向右拖拉而将指示器按钮540向左或向右移动。
屏幕552可以包括禁止增湿按钮542。在一些情况下，用户也许不希望向HVAC控制器20提供增湿设置。例如，温暖的气候中，用户也许不想要或不需要运行通过HVAC控制器20所控制的比如整个房屋增湿器的增湿器。在一些情况下，用户的HVAC设备可以不包括任何增湿设备。在诸如这些的环境中，用户可以通过按压禁止增湿按钮542来去激活该功能。图14提供类似于屏幕522(图12)的示意性的屏幕552，但是图14示出了因为用户已经按压了禁止增湿按钮542，HVAC控制器20已经将滑条526变灰显示(gray out)。可以看出，文本524已经表述了增湿被禁止。在一些情况下，屏幕552可以包括使能增湿按钮554。
回到图12，屏幕522可以包括窗户防霜设置按钮544，其将在以下结合图15和16被讨论。帮助按钮546如果被按压，可以进一步提供上下文相关的帮助信息，该上下文相关的帮助信息解释例如增湿、提供关于选项的说明(clarification regarding option)等等。取消按钮548如果被按压，可以使得HVAC控制器20回复到屏幕150(图11)而不保存已经做出的任何改变。完成按钮550如果被按压，则通知HVAC控制器20已经完成了增湿设置，而作为结果，HVAC控制器20可以回复到屏幕150(图11)并且保存任何改变。
按窗户防霜设置按钮544(图12)可以让HVAC控制器20显示示意性的屏幕556，如图15所示的。在一些方式中，选择室内增湿设置类似于选择窗户防霜设置，因为窗户结露(condensation)的风险(尤其在寒冷天气)至少部分地是室内空气湿度的函数。然而，窗户结露也至少部分地是房屋或者其它建筑内的窗户的有效性的函数。
旧式的，比如单窗玻璃(single-pane)窗户等低效的窗户可以将相对冷的玻璃表面呈现给建筑物内热的空气。这种情况下更可能结露。相反地，较新的比如双重窗玻璃(double-pane)窗户或者甚至三重窗玻璃(triple-pane)窗户等更有效的窗户将把相对更暖和的玻璃表面呈现给建筑物内热的空气。从而，有效的窗户可以容忍相对较高的室内湿度而没有过度的窗户结露。当然，应该认识到室外温度同样可以有影响。在一些情况下，HVAC控制器20可以与外部温度传感器通信并且可以被编程以相应地调整湿度设置和/或窗户防霜设置。
