You should thermostat the temperature rather than leaving it unregulated.You should thermostat the room rather than leaving it unregulated.
动词 thermostat 的宾语是受到温度调节的对象（如房间、烤箱、水浴），而不是‘温度’本身。说 thermostat the temperature 属宾语搭配错误，需改为 thermostat the room 等具体对象。

Learner notes
Memory Tip
对比记忆：thermometer（温度计）只测温，thermostat（恒温器）能控温——所以thermostat作动词意为“用恒温器控制温度”。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：technical writing、engineering specifications 作动词时，thermostat 多用于工程技术或产品说明等正式书面语，日常生活中很少这样用。
Grammar Note
过去分词为 thermostatted，注意词尾 t 双写。
Pronunciation & Spelling
Stat, rheostat, and hemostat truly match the final /stæt/ of thermostat. Thermos and thermal share only the opening /θɝm-/; thermometer is a spelling lookalike with a different stress and vowel (/θɚˈmɑːm-/).
