A thermostat provides the control signal to a heating/cooling unit. If you don't have a thermostat in a room then the unit will not respond to temperature changes in that room. Any heating/cooling unit needs to have a thermostat to tell it when to turn on/off based on the ambient temperature at the thermostat and the desired temperature.

for example, lets say your thermostat is in the kitchen. if it gets cold in the dining room but the oven in the kitchen keeps that room warm the unit will not turn on and heat the dining room.

not that the number of thermostats in a home is dependent on the furnace. most will only allow for one thermostat, some can allow for more. each thermostat sets up a zone. for independent heating /cooling of each zone you need separate units. In a commercial building it can come in the form of fan coil units. A large residential home can have 2-3 units.

There are two types, digital or analog. Analog thermostats usually use a Mercury switch. A digital thermostat adds the convenience of programming and schedules (so you can have different temperature goals at night or day).

Smart homes can allow for individual temperature controls of each room, which requires a sophisticated unit and a lot of money.
