After all, I couldn’t find a way to add more climate entities trough UI so I edited the main configuration.yaml file and added those 2 lines at the end of the file:
climate: !include climates.yaml
switch: !include switches.yaml
The climates.yaml files has all the EXTRA thermostats, except the first one that I don’t know where exactly is saved. The first one can be updated trough UI, all the other ones that are created in YAML file can’t be updated trough UI also the GENERIC THERMOSTAT option menu is missing

and I also added the reverse switch so the underfloor heating system works as it should, with the NORMALLY OPENED valves, this way when the thermostat set to heating needs to turn on HEAT, it turns on the reversed switched, the template of the reversed switch will turn off the real switch connected to the valve .
When the thermostat turn off heating reversed switched, the real switch turns on and finally the valve is actuated and stops the flow of water trough the underfloor circuit.
I find NORMALLY OPENED valves the best option, as no matter what happens to the automation, to the smart home brain, the heating in the house won’t be affected, as all circuits are opened and the heating can be set trough the gas heater temperature setting. In my case I use only 32 - 33 degrees for the water, it works smoothly and the gas consumption is quite low.
So this is the only way to have multiple thermostats added to HA, multiple climate entities? Isn’t there a way to have all the thermostats with this menu available: GENERIC THERMOSTAT OPTION.? This menu is missing in all the thermostats created trough yaml, only the first thermostat I created has this option, and I don’t understand why : (
Thank you
I find out that the right way is to add trough integrations, every new room thermostat needs to be added trough Integration - > Generic thermostat. I deleted all the YAML thermostats and added them all trough UI.
