It really feels like a rather pointless product given the current state of HVAC manufacturing. Until HVAC manufacturers make zone control more of a priority paired with having technicians that are capable of installing it properly.

Between all the environmental and construction related variables it would seem that it would take a 3rd party to develop something that could integrate with the various residential systems you can have installed with a reasonable warranty attached. Without having a bunch of automated dampers, properly insulated homes/duct work it seems a bit premature to try and market this as a product that makes sense for the average human.
