What is a "smart" thermostat and how does it work?

A smart thermostat is a device that can be programmed to automatically adjust the temperature in your home. It uses sensors to measure the temperature inside and outside of your home, as well as information from other connected devices such as air conditioning systems and heating systems. The thermostat then uses this data to determine when to turn on or off the heating and cooling system to maintain the desired temperature.
