ᐅ Central room temperature controller for the fan coil unit (FCU) of the underfloor heating system

Hello,
Is there a way to control the ERR centrally on one device, so that, for example, the children cannot adjust the underfloor heating control (heating circuit)? Also, I don’t mind not having a thermostat with a controller in every room. What would be the alternative? Are there sensor-only devices that, for example, send the temperature wirelessly to the central unit, or does a separate fixed setting for the respective heating circuit also count as an ERR?
Good luck

The plumber and heating engineer are not participating. A functioning residual current device (RCD) must be present at the final inspection. Instead of investing in a smart/wireless system here, I will go with the plumber’s standard and only want to integrate the appearance of the room thermostats into a switch design.

If you absolutely want something smart, look into blossom ic. It performs dynamic hydraulic balancing. However, I’m not sure if it ensures a high flow rate for the heat pump. When in doubt, it’s better to go without any room control and use static thermal balancing instead.
Somehow, I’m going in circles -.-
It’s not really about smart features... my main concern is the appearance, and I wonder if most homeowners are satisfied with the standard (mandatory) underfloor heating installation and the corresponding wall thermostat in terms of how it looks.
The wired wall thermostats that look somewhat decent are
Homematic IP wall thermostat with switching output 230V or 24V
Bosch Smart Home room thermostat 230 V
Both are SMART (which probably explains the high price of about 80 EUR), although I don’t use those smart functions.
With 7 heating circuits, that adds up to extra costs of 560 EUR just for the appearance.
Alternatively, there’s the option to place a wireless wall thermostat freely in the room or remove it completely when the underfloor heating control is deactivated, for about 100 EUR more.
Maybe this doesn’t bother homeowners currently, and I’m just overthinking it.

I could go on for days about the regular ugliness of German installations, whether it’s thermostats or heating controls in general. It continues with switch plates in 6- or 8-gang frames arranged vertically. But apparently, no one is bothered enough by that to spend money on it. The main thing is that the kitchen worth 20,000 to 30,000 euros shines with a high-gloss finish.
