Consider a variant of the thermostat of example 3.5. In this variant, there is only one temperature threshold, and to avoid chattering the thermostat simply leaves the heat on or off for at least a fixed amount of time. In the initial state, if the temperature is less than or equal to 20 degrees Celsius, it turns the heater on, and leaves it on for at least 30 seconds. After that, if the temperature is greater than 20 degrees, it turns the heater off and leaves it off for at least 2 minutes. It turns it on again only if the temperature is less than or equal to 20 degrees.

Design an FSM that behaves as described, assuming it reacts exactly once every 30 seconds.
