Humidity Sensor Testing Instructions Setup the thermostat to disable the built-in humidity sensor and measure only the external humidity sensor. The thermostat should be powered for 15 minutes prior to testing. Record the external relative humidity reading. Use an electrical meter and set to V (dc). Measure the voltage between the +V and Com wires. It should measure 3.3 V (dc). If the voltage is different, the thermostat power supply may be faulty.
