Does any one of you has (single-board computer) if so what is the purpose ?

ou have something like Pi 3 and if so why ? and what OS on it ?
If you want to buy one which one interests you.
Thanks.Raspberry Pi3 for thermostat and Arduino for door automation.

Why I am getting the vibe here that it is easier to code and automate with Arduino , is there an easy guide/wizard for it that does not involve alot of coding ?

You could go for an ESPeasy compatible NodeMCU (approx $3), flash ESPeasy on it and run a MQTT broker (server) somewhere. Attach a DHT11 ($2 or so).
Zero programming, just configuration

I have a guide for an rpi door and temp sensor here already: https://mangolassi.it/topic/9738/diy-environment-monitoring/7
The coding is not that difficult.

I don't think that that is the case. Arduino is not a full computer and doesn't have an OS. It's neat and interesting and meant for basic automation, yes. But it is very hard by comparison as anything that makes automating with an OS simple, the Arduino lacks.

Arduino is good for sensing, but has almost no compute power. So if I had a bunch of battery powered sensors, Arduino would be the best fit. While if I actually wanted to do something with the data those sensors collect then a general compute device (Raspberry Pi) is a better choice.

There ist something in between, the network capable ESP8266 with ESPeasy stack.

The ESP8266 is basically a wifi enabled Arduino. You can do more with them, but you're still very limited. I used mine to control some lights over the holidays this year. All I had it doing was a 2 selection box web page, and it had used 99% of the available storage and memory

Arduino is microprocessor coded with a specific dialect of c as most of micros todays. It is not able to run an os. Like any micro it accepts an entry point and starts looping the same code again and again until you pull the plug.
Raspberrypi is an arm architecture able to run an os. You can code it even in python or node.js
