The concept map shows the interaction between a home, thermostat, and power company. The thermostat senses the home's temperature and sends data to the power company, who interprets it and calculates appropriate temperature and financial data. This information is then returned to the thermostat to display, allowing the thermostat to regulate the home's temperature based on the occupant's programmed preferences.
