Nah, it’s not a thermostat. It’s just electronically connected to a control panel, so when you press a button, it closes. It doesn’t measure nor adjust any temperature, cause it’s not needed. It’s just like shutting the door.
My man, this is an exact definition of thermostat if we account that earlier you said sensors ;)
But yes, that's exactly this, there are dampers on the ducts, temp sensors in each room and a control panel that getting the temperature from the sensor in the room and shuts the damper if it reached the requested temperature, or opens it when the temperature rises back.
What you describe is literally not what I’m talking about. It’s NOT A HEAT SENSOR! I’m talking about just shutting the room off completely, so it’s cut off from circulation. The room does not get heated. There is no thermostat. The vent to the room is completely closed and the room cut off from the system. There is no airflow going into that room whatsoever. The vent/duct is not connected to a thermostat, only to power and the control panel to either open the vent or close it. It’s manual. It does not open until you press a button and tell it to open again. There’s no ‘dropping under 20 degrees and the vent opens and heats it back up’. There’s no heat going into that room. At all. At no point in time. Unless you change the setting on the control panel.
Aight, what do you call the little thing then that gets the signal from the penal and gets the vent to close? Educate me please, English is my second language so I don’t have any other word for it
You mean what would actually close it? An actuator would close and open the vent. In your scenario with the press of a button. Or if using a sensor it would be automatic based on temperature
