In the 80s and 90s, thermostats had physical dials and mechanical temperature metres that did not require power. They only had two terminals for sending a signal to the controller of the furnace.
This is one. They were everywhere until the mid to late 2000s.

I covered that possible lie in my expansive bullshit call out. You either did not read or you do not understand.
Go check it out, you might come to believe that I’ve installed maybe a hundred of these and actually know what I’m talking about.
How old are you?
