I probably got an answer to this ... Somebody told me what you to is
connect the R and G terminals to turn on the fan. So the dehumidistat
switch would connect the R and G terminals as well as turning on the
dehumidifier. Also they told me that if there's central AC, there would
have to be a relay to avoid feeding power to the AC. I don't have AC now but I
might get it.

Comments?

A waste of time, as I said to lower humidity maybe 20% 35% will heat
up the house maybe 3-4f at maybe nearly the same electric cost as
running whole house AC. Only if interior temps were near 68 would this
idea make sense as if you lived in Oregon. But if you are warm now,
you will get hot running dehumidifiers.
