An electronic thermostat utilizing a switched power supply which operates either from a voltage appearing across an open circuit at a heater or air conditioner activation circuit (de-energized state) or from a current flowing in the activation circuit upon short circuiting (energized state) of the activation circuit. The power supply provides an uninterrupted source of power to the electronic thermostat which controls the source of input power to the power supply in addition to the state of the activation circuit. The electronic circuit implements a piecewise linear, with hysteresis loop discontinuity, control function.
