1. A control device for a heating device, comprising:

  • a thermostat having a control unit; and

    an electrical energy source connected to the control unit and electrically powering the control unit, wherein the electrical energy source generates electrical energy to electrically power the control unit in response to a presence of temperature differences between two reference points connected to the electrical energy source;

    wherein one reference point detects an environmental temperature and the other reference point detects a temperature of a heating pipe, and wherein the electrical energy source includes a first module and a second module, the first module generating electrical energy to electrically power the control unit in response to a presence of a temperature difference within a first difference range, and the second module generating electrical energy to electrically power the control unit in response to a presence of a temperature difference within a second difference range, the second difference range representing greater temperature differences than the first difference range.
