gI've been using ChatGPT to answer some of my questions but I've not got great results so would like some help with how to create an automation to control my heating in my house.

Setup
Nest thermostat connected to boiler
3 Rooms (Living Room, Bedroom, Guest Room)
Each Room has an Aqara TRV on it. (Living Room has 2 TRV's)
Each Room has external Aqara Temp sensor
Living Room also is where the Nest Thermostat is placed (Can be moved if needed)

** Desired outcome**
I want to be able to control the heating in each room through some UI card in HA.

Issue
If I set the temps on the TRV's then this doesn't tell the boiler when to turn on or not. The boiler is only connected to Nest. Therefore unless Nest temperature is changed, no room will receive the heating I set it to.

Attempted Solutions
I've tried to use the Advanced Heating Blueprint but this doesn't work. This is because you set the temperature you want and which climate entities (for my scenario this would be Nest + Room TRV) to adjust. This applies the same temperature to each one but if the Nest thermostat is above the temperature of another room then it won't turn on.


Bedroom temp on external sensor = 20'C 
Nest Thermostat (in Living Room) = 22'C

If I want to heat the bedroom to 21'C then the blueprint will tell Nest to set to 21C and this will not turn on the boiler```

Another solution I tried with GPT was to create a helper for the desired temperature (1 helper for each room) and use the following logic

```If External Sensor < Helper Value 
  Then Set Nest = 32'C (to force the boiler on)
  Then Set TRV = Helper Value````

This only works for turning the boiler on but then my heating is on permanently so I don't like this solution.  

Please can you help me with what you would do in this scenario?  Surely I'm not the only one!
