Magnetically sensed thermostat control

The present invention is generally related to sensor methods and devices. The present invention is also related to temperature sensing methods and devices. The present invention is additionally related to thermostat control devices. The present invention is further related to magnetic sensor methods and devices. The present invention also relates to switching methods and devices, particularly thermostat control switching devices thereof. Methods and apparatuses for magnetically detecting a temperature change for thermostat control thereof are disclosed. A thermostat control device can be configured to include at least one bi-metallic strip that is configured to experience a change in angular position in response to a temperature change. The thermostat control device is generally associated with a Hall sensor, which includes a plurality of magnets that can experience movement relative to the Hall sensor in response to the change in the angular position of the bi-metallic strip. The temperature change can then be automatically and/or electrically detected in response to the movement of the magnets, wherein the temperature change is utilized for thermostat control thereof.
