At its core, a thermostat is a control component that senses the temperature of a physical system and performs actions so that the system's temperature is maintained near a desired setpoint. Many people confuse thermometers with thermostats, but they

The current gold standard, smart thermostats (like those from Nest or Ecobee), offer several advanced features: Be a Thermostat, Not a Thermometer | by Jason Kennedy The current gold standard, smart thermostats (like those

A common misconception is that turning a thermostat to 30°C (86°F) will heat a room faster than setting it to 22°C (72°F). In reality, most systems operate at a static intensity; the thermostat simply acts as an "on/off" switch that tells the furnace or air conditioner when the goal has been reached.
