There are two controls, one for pressure and one for temperature.
The most common one has a marker around 40°C then you can go hotter or colder.

It’s a valve that controls both the pressure and temperature of the shower water. It maintains a constant temp through your shower.
But installing one is 2x the price of a normal pressure-balance valve.
Cost is the limiter:
"Cons
By far, the biggest con to installing a thermostatic shower valve is the cost. These valves tend to be at least twice as expensive, if not many times more, as pressure-balance valves.
Another disadvantage is the trim that accompanies this type of valve because it has two handles. These can be trickier to install with simple plumbing upgrades because they use a wall-mounted plate behind the handles. They tend to come in contemporary designs, although it is possible to find models that work with more traditional bathroom decor."
