__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument ‘user’

You can’t do

LivingRoom.objects.create(user=instance)

because you have an __init__ method that does NOT take user as argument.

You need something like

#signal function: if a user is created, add control livingroom to the user    
def create_control_livingroom(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
    if created:
        my_room = LivingRoom()
        my_room.user = instance

Update

But, as bruno has already said it, Django’s models.Model subclass’s initializer is best left alone, or should accept *args and **kwargs matching the model’s meta fields.

So, following better principles, you should probably have something like

class LivingRoom(models.Model):
    '''Living Room object'''
    user = models.OneToOneField(User)

    def __init__(self, *args, temp=65, **kwargs):
        self.temp = temp
        return super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

Note – If you weren’t using temp as a keyword argument, e.g. LivingRoom(65), then you’ll have to start doing that. LivingRoom(user=instance, temp=66) or if you want the default (65), simply LivingRoom(user=instance) would do.
