Thermostat with failsafe mechanism

A thermostat assembly comprising:

• a thermostat housing that defines a thermostat housing interior and includes thermostat wiring for communication with an air conditioning unit, wherein a battery powered microprocessor is disposed in the thermostat housing interior,
• a wall plate removably secured to a back surface of the thermostat housing, wherein the wall plate includes first and second connection openings defined therein,
• a failsafe assembly that includes
• a housing that defines a housing interior, wherein the housing includes first and second connection openings defined therein, wherein the housing is removably secured to a back surface of the wall plate, wherein a first threaded fastener extends through the first connection opening in the wall plate and the first opening in the housing, and wherein a second threaded fastener extends through the second connection opening in the wall plate and the second opening in the housing,
• a first thermoswitch disposed in the housing interior, wherein the first thermoswitch includes an open state and a closed state and is normally in the open state, wherein the first thermoswitch is configured to switch to the closed state when an ambient temperature drops below a predetermined lower threshold temperature, and wherein the first thermoswitch is configured to switch back to the open state when the ambient temperature rises above a predetermined first safety temperature, and
• a second thermoswitch disposed in the housing interior, wherein the second thermoswitch includes an open state and a closed state and is normally in the open state, wherein the second thermoswitch is configured to switch to the closed state when the ambient temperature exceeds a predetermined upper threshold temperature, and wherein the second thermoswitch is configured to switch back to the open state when the ambient temperature drops below a predetermined second safety temperature,
• wherein the first and second thermoswitches are wired in parallel with the thermostat wiring of the thermostat housing, wherein the wall plate separates the battery powered microprocessor and the first and second thermoswitches, and when the thermostat assembly is secured to a wall, the first and second thermoswitches are positioned between the wall plate and the wall.
