How does it work?
I have a family house with gas boiler, radiator heating and wired temostat in the living room.
I woluld like to install a wired smart termostat in our living room and two smart radiator termostat in the bedroom and study. (it can be extend in the future). I think the boiler will start, if the temperature in living room too low is. What happens, if the temperature in the living room too high, the boiler doesn't work, but in the study too low is. When will start the boiler?

If you have configured it correctly, and assigned different rooms, the smart TRVs will call for heat to the boiler when they are below their temperature. This will pump hot water to your central heating. The smart TRVs will allow the radiator in the cold rooms to get water and heat the room until they reach temperature at which point they will stop calling for heat. Because your living room is on a dumb TRV it will also get water in the radiator until either the smart TRVs stop calling for heat or the dumb TRVs hit hit the cut off (no specific temperature control of heat).1

How many other rooms are there? Presumably these other rooms will be on dumb TRVs?
It sounds like the most sensible thing would be to get the extension kit and move the wired thermostat to become wireless and place it in a more central location.
If you have a smart TRV in the living room and a thermostat in the living room (calling for heat at a different temperature) which is not being used as the measuring device, it will never each (or very slowly get to that temperature) because the smart TRV will have cut off the radiator.
Smart TRV (Living Room) set to 18C, reading 17C, used for measuring device.
Thermostat set to 19C, reading 17C, used for dumb TRV radiators in other house.
At 18C, smart TRV cuts off, thermostat keeps calling for heat because it wants 19C, which it can't get because it has no heat from radiator. This would be the opposite of money saving.
Move the thermostat wirelessly to a more central location near where you are not using smart TRVs.

An other question: in the living room i want to install also smart radiator termostat, and in this case in the wired termostat have to switch off the temperatur measuring funktion. The heating in the living room has to be closed, when the temperatur is too high in this room and in other room is necessary to heat.
