What is a thermostat?
A thermostat is a component that senses the temperature of a physical system and performs required actions to maintain the desired temperature.
A thermostat operates as a "closed-loop" control device, as it seeks to reduce the error between the desired and measured temperatures. HVAC systems use thermostats to maintain a predetermined temperature in your home.

Types of thermostats
There are four basic types of modern thermostats: Non-programmable, programmable, Wi-Fi, and smart. The further you get down the list, the more expensive they become. However, energy efficiency also increases with each thermostat.
Non-Programmable Thermostat:
A non-programmable thermostat is very basic. Any time you want to change the temperature in your home, you'll need to adjust the setting on the thermostat. You cannot pre program the thermostat to change your home's temperature while you're away or sleeping. However, a quality non-programmable thermostat can achieve high energy efficiency by communicating with the heating system to maintain your temperature preference.
Programmable Thermostat:
A programmable thermostat follows a preprogrammed schedule to adjust the temperature during the day or night. Many programmable thermostats have daily and weekly settings. For example, if you're away from home only on Mondays and Thursdays, you can pre program the thermostat to keep your home at a more moderate temperature. In doing so, the furnace doesn't have to work so hard to heat the house. Wear and tear on the unit will decrease. As a result, it reduces energy bills and repair costs.
Wi-Fi Thermostat:
Wi-Fi thermostats connect to a wireless network. Your smartphone, computer, or tablet will provide access to the system. The thermostat's temperature may be adjusted remotely. A Wi-Fi thermostat is also a programmable thermostat. This type of thermostat is ideal for those who want full control over a home's temperature setting even when they're away from the house.
Smart Thermostat:
A smart thermostat easily integrates with various home automation tools and equipment. Over time, the thermostat learns your living habits and adjusts the temperature accordingly. It'll be discovered when you arrive home each day. As it notices patterns, it stores the information to achieve maximum heating and cooling efficiency. Many smart thermostats come with voice control features and are compatible with Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa.
