thermostat control

Climate setting dial

A thermostat control is the dial, button, or interface used to set a thermostat's target temperature.

The phrase often appears in appliance manuals and HVAC contexts: Adjust the thermostat control to your desired setting.

It can also refer more broadly to the automated regulation of temperature itself.
