set point
Temperature you choose
Set point refers to a target value that a system works to maintain.
In physiology, it's the level at which the body regulates functions like temperature or weight: Your body defends its set point even when you diet.
In tennis, a set point is a situation where one player can win the set by taking the next point.
In engineering and thermostats, it's the desired value a control system aims to achieve.
