Unfortunately, I don’t think it is currently possible to achieve with virtual thermostat alone.

As Yakov mentioned, currently is not possible with edge drivers. There is Virtual Thermostat solution, but 8s is Groovy based SmartApp, and as Groovy is going away soon, one of the developers took different approach. Hebl created the driver for zigbee temperature sensors, that adds thermostat capabilities, and more. I am using it with Aqara Temperature sensor, and works great. I just have to create automations with switches/outlets

(NEW RELEASE) Version 3.0 of Edge Driver Zigbee Temp Sensor and Thermostat Mc: [Screenshot_20211129-183013] Improvements and bug fixes: Added Thermostat Lock function: This function allows to maintain settings of Thermostat Mode, Temperature, Fan… until we unlock it manually or with an routine or scene and without having to cancel the daily schedule made with routines. It is automatically activated when Off, manual or away modes are selected, so the programmed automations will not change the settings set. If you want to make a temporary temperature change, it is not necessary to lock the thermostat, you just have to make the temperature change and it will be maintained until the next programmed period. This function prevents the use of a virtual device to perform these functions. […
