How Smart Thermostats Learn Your Habits

课文

1. A smart thermostat uses built-in sensors to detect room temperature, humidity, and motion.

   智能温控器内置传感器，可检测室温、湿度和人员活动。

2. It connects to your home Wi-Fi network so you can control it remotely via a smartphone app.

   它连接家庭Wi-Fi网络，支持通过手机App远程控制。

3. Over time, the device analyzes when you wake up, leave home, or go to sleep each day.

   长期使用中，设备会分析你每天的起床、离家和入睡时间。

4. Using machine learning algorithms, it adjusts heating and cooling automatically to save energy.
