A thermostat including bi-metal element configured to be activated at a maximum dial setpoint temperature manually set on the thermostat and a switch coupled to the bi-metal element and configured to open upon activation of the bi-metal element. The thermostat also includes a temperature sensor positioned to sense temperature, a thermostat heating element positioned to heat the bi-metal element to the maximum dial setpoint temperature, and a controller coupled to the temperature sensor and the thermostat heating element and storing a desired controller setpoint temperature. In response to determining that the desired controller setpoint temperature is sensed, the controller controls the thermostat heating element to heat the bi-metal element to the maximum dial setpoint temperature, thereby activating the bi-metal element and opening the switch. |
