In addition to the zone humidistat, you also need to add components to the air system serving the zone that add or remove moisture from the supply air. Dehumidification can be achieved by UnitarySystem's Dehumidification Control Type field, ZoneHVAC:Dehumidifier:DX, Dehumidifier:Desiccant:NoFans, or Dehumidifier:Desiccant:System. Humidification can be achieved with Humidifier:Steam:Electric or Humidifier:Steam:Gas.
