Most of them will allow you to adjust it. Mine was way off when I installed it. Spent a couple days with a hygrometer and adjusted it down. It was consistently reading 7-8% higher than it actually was.

My Honeywell thermostat in my kitchen is about 5.5 years old and I was wondering why it was reading consistently 55-70% humidity a lot this summer. Bought a portable hygrometer and realized the thermostat was off by about 10%.

Don’t always trust the reading on a thermostat because humidity is not its main function. Get a portable meter and let it sit in one spot for a few days to see what the humidity really is.
