🔄 The Evolution of Temperature Control

Traditional Thermostat: The Basic Controller

• Manual dial or digital display with limited programming

• Reactive operation - only responds to current temperature

• Fixed schedules requiring manual adjustments

• No connectivity or remote access

• Basic temperature sensing with ±2°C accuracy

Smart Thermostat: The Intelligent Climate Manager

• Learning algorithms that adapt to your lifestyle

• Proactive optimization anticipating your needs

• Remote control via smartphone from anywhere

• Energy usage insights with savings recommendations

• Precise sensing with ±0.5°C accuracy
