1. A device comprising:
an electronic controller including memory, a power supply, a power sensor, a triode for alternative current (TRIAC), and an inductive load;
the TRIAC is in operable communication with the electronic controller and the inductive load;
the power sensor is in operable communication with the electronic controller and the power supply and is configured to:
detect data representative of an electrical value, and
route the data representative of the electrical value to the electronic controller;
the electronic controller configured to:
access, from the memory, a target value for the inductive load based on the electrical value;
implement a transfer function based algorithm for determining a set point value using the electric value;
apply the set point value on the TRIAC; and
adjust operation of the inductive load to the target power responsive to the application of the set point value on the TRIAC, the operation of the inductive load at the target power causes the operation of the inductive load at the target value.
