A room thermostat

A room thermostat is a device to keep the room temperature at a set level, e.g. 20°C. Normally the room thermostat is installed in only one room of the house, being the most representative (e.g. living room). The room thermostat also should be installed at a height of about 1,2 m, not in direct sunlight, not near heat sources or cold air currents.

Room thermostats are more and more available in electronic versions and with a time programme included. This time programme can for some devices be set on a day basis, for others on a week basis. See also night set-back.
