A thermostatic radiator valve

When the person moved into their new apartment, they were surprised to find a strange wire protruding from their radiator. Perplexed, they asked around and discovered that the wire was a temperature sensor, typically found in more expensive radiators.

To make matters worse, they learned that replacing the wire would be quite expensive.
