Why not just leave the air conditioner on. Shades closed, with the thermostat set around 85, it will keep it dry.
This is what we do...S FL heat + humidity. We set the AC. The dehumidifiers exhaust heat into the room, making a TT even hotter.
Ummmm,,,, Noooo,,, They are not going to make it any hotter. But, they are definitely not going to make it any cooler.
It's kinda hard to explain.
They will make it warmer because the heat pump system is not 100% efficient. The excess power is converted to heat (and a vanishingly small amount of acoustic and electromagnetic energy).
It's identical in concept to why the converter also warms up the interior of the RV somewhat; it's not 100% efficient either, and the excess energy nearly all becomes heat which has to go somewhere.
