1. An electrochromic device comprising:
an electrochromic element operating in at least one of a first optical characteristic state and a second optical characteristic state;
a temperature sensor to measure temperature; and
circuitry configured to control voltage to be applied to the electrochromic element, such that the second optical characteristic state becomes constant irrespective of the measured temperature,
wherein the voltage to be applied includes a plurality of periods of a periodic fluctuation voltage, and each of the periods of the periodic fluctuation voltage includes times for applying at least two voltages of different magnitudes respectively.
