If the device reports standard Thermostat related capabilities like Thermostat, Thermostat Heating Setpoint, and similar, then you would be able to use the native Thermostat Layout directly as shown in this thread:

It sounds like you came from Action Tiles where you didn’t have the Thermostat layout available, so I suspect that the device might not have a standard thermostat implementation?
You can configure the Click / Tap action of a tile to open a dashboard and there’s a setting to open the dashboard as an “Overlay”. With that configuration, if you tap on the tile (or an item in the tile), it will open the other dashboard as an overlay.
Community members commonly use that approach to accomplish your goal – being able to tap a tile and bring up a custom set of controls.
You would create the second dashboard with just the controls you want. Then in the main dashboard which has the gauge, you would configure the click action of the gauge tile to overlay your secondary dashboard.

Again, all of that depends on what features your Thermostat device exposes as that will determine the best tiles / controls for adjusting the temperature rather than just viewing it.
