A mechanism such as a bimetallic strip or bellows converts the actual temperature surrounding the thermostat into physical movement. When the variance between desired and actual temperature exceeds some design maximum, sensor movement creates an electrical contact that communicates a signal to the correcting entity, in this case the control of a furnace or air conditioner, and the variance is automatically corrected. The output of a system can be measured and the variance between measured and desired output is used to adjust the system.
