# ha-smart-thermostat-control # Acknowledgement and background
I tried different Home Assistant add-ons and integrations, but wasn't really satisfied in controlling room temperature in our house. The heating is based on central heating and radiators with different Zigbee-based termostats.

This blueprint for HA was initially inspired by [ha-smarter-thermostat by muratcesmecioglu](https://github.com/muratcesmecioglu/ha-smarter-thermostat), but deviated through extending to also include an away calendar and a manual overwrite mode to allow manual inputs on the thermostats.
