better_thermostat
This custom component for Home Assistant will add crucial features to your climate-controlling TRV (Thermostatic Radiator Valves) to save you the work of creating automations to make it smart. It combines a room-temperature sensor, window/door sensors, weather forecasts, or an ambient temperature probe to decide when it should call for heat and automatically calibrate your TRVs to fix the imprecise measurements taken in the radiator's vicinity.

Thermostatic Valves plus Central Boiler setup questions
I simplified my original explanation a little. I actually use an add-on ( Better Thermostat ) combined with a separate temp and humidity sensor. It’s not necessarily relevant to your question about controlling the home thermostat (nest) but worth knowing about if you go down the rabbit hole.

Where can I find KNX stack documentation?
I think it's not openly available, you need to be a KNX member (10000€ anual fee) and sign an NDA to get access to these docs. But you might have a look at https://github.com/XKNX/xknx
What are some alternatives?
When comparing better_thermostat and xknx you can also consider the following projects:
