thermostat
의미: A device that automatically regulates temperature by switching a heating or cooling system on or off to maintain a desired temperature.
Thermostats are found in homes (controlling central heating), vehicles (regulating engine temperature), ovens, refrigerators, and industrial processes. Modern smart thermostats can be controlled remotely via smartphone apps and learn household routines to optimise energy use. In the UK, the room thermostat is a familiar feature of most homes with central heating. Figuratively, something can serve as a 'thermostat' for any system that requires regulation.
