Home automation is the residential extension of building automation.

It is automation of the home, housework or household activity.

Home automation may include centralized control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, security locks of gates and doors and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security.

Warning: Working with electricity can result in injury, property damage, or even death if it is not done properly. Please keep this in mind while assisting others. If you are not sure about what you are doing, hire a licensed professional.

I don't care if the main house gets down to 40F. I just want my bedroom/office to be heated. I'd control the heat distribution the poor man's way, by throttling the vent registers (I know not to close all of them completely). I know it wouldn't be perfect, I just don't want to heat the rest of the house 24/7 because I live alone now.

If the thermostat for the whole house was in my bedroom, that would work, but I can't move it there.

Thank you for any ideas you can offer.
