Correct.

On the second paragraph, a smart thermostat with knowledge of the humidity level inside the house makes the call when to stop cooling based on humidity level set at the thermostat.
Correct.

On the IAQ, it may "overcool" the home up to 3˚ below set point of the humidity is high. I've only seen this happen a few times on my system on a humid rainy day when the cooling load was low.

You said your prefer method is paragraph #1 - no need for humidity level knowledge, but on your second paragraph, you say your have the thermostat humidity level set to 45% which you prefer because you are comfortable at 76% and having less humidity.
Sorry wasn't clear on that. I perfer this "Profile of blower set up" if you did not get the IAQ or any type humidity control.

Goodman, I think has 5 blower profile set up, and the one I mention about is the one I perfer

Quote:
So which method do you have/prefer?
I prefer the IAQ control vs a fixed ramp up time.
