The sensor or thermostat in an incubator acts as a receptor by detecting and monitoring the temperature inside the incubator. It sends signals to the heating element to adjust the temperature accordingly to maintain the desired environment for optimal conditions for eggs or other specimens to incubate.
An aceticoceptor is a part of a molecule which acts as a receptor for acetyl groups.
The thermostat in the incubator plays a similar role to the receptor in the natural negative feedback system. It senses the temperature within the incubator and triggers the appropriate response to maintain a stable environment. Just like how receptors detect changes in the body and signal the body to make adjustments to maintain homeostasis.
The outer part of a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) binds to ligands, such as hormones or neurotransmitters, which activates the receptor. The inner part of the receptor interacts with and activates a G protein, initiating downstream signaling cascades within the cell.

Intracellular receptor
When a receptor protein acts as an enzyme, the receptor protein activates a second messenger that acts as a signal molecule within the cell. Resources: HOLT Biology Textbook - 9th grade edition Chapter 4, Cells and Their Environment.

Hormone and receptor interactions are based on specific binding between the hormone and its receptor. The receptor acts as a target for the hormone, triggering a series of cellular responses once bound. This interaction is highly specific, allowing for precise signaling within the body.
The primary receptor for caffeine on the cell membrane is the adenosine receptor. Caffeine acts as a non selective antagonist at the A1 and A2A receptors, so it has the opposite effect of adenosine, acting as a stimulant and increasing heart rate.
The sensory receptor for smell is called the olfactory receptor. These receptors are located in the olfactory epithelium in the upper part of the nasal cavity and are responsible for detecting and transmitting odors to the brain for interpretation.
