How would I make a HVAC simulator to see what a thermostat would do if the indoor temp was 425°F (frozen pizza cooking temps) (reddthat.com)

I bought a nest gen 2 thermostat to play with a open source project that revives old nest thermostats (https://nolongerevil.com/). Since I don't want to install it into the home, because it will be a toy. I was thinking of building a test rig using a arduino or esp32 to simulate a HVAC and indoor temperature. I'm IT guy, not a HVAC guy, I think this would be a good learning project. Any suggestions?

At those temps I can take a pretty good guess as to what it would do:

Melt.

Yeah I want to simulate the temperature readings. No blow torches or extreme heat preferred.

It would be fun to torch a google device while laughing psychotically.
