White Paper Overview

A Smart Thermostat is a smart home device with Human Machine Interfaces (HMI), connectivity, and various sensors that can automatically adjust heating and cooling temperature settings in your home for comfort and energy efficiency. The next generation of thermostats requires more than simple temperature regulation – they demand intelligence, adaptability, and energy efficiency to meet the growing expectations from both consumers and regulatory bodies. This white paper focuses on this important part of Smart Home applications and introduces PSOC™ Edge microcontrollers as a powerful platform for addressing the key design challenges for the next generation of smart thermostats by combining advanced sensing, low-power processing, and Edge AI acceleration.
