Smart Air Vent

[MicahSalsman]

I’ve got three bedrooms on the upper floor that heat/cool drastically different. I have a Nest thermostat with a temperature sensor in each bedroom. Only one sensor at a time can control the thermostat, but it would great to have a battery operated smart vent for each room that would actuate based on the temperature reading from the associated sensor and the heat/cool cycle from the thermostat.

Hi @MicahSalsman,

Thank you for posting in the community! I understand you have a Nest Thermostat with a temperature sensor in each room, as each space heats and cools quite differently. I see you'd like to install a battery-operated smart vent in each room that actuates based on the temperature reading from the associated sensor and the thermostat’s heating or cooling cycle. I am happy to provide more information on this.

Currently, no smart vents function with our temperature sensors and thermostats; however, we are always looking for ways to improve your experience with our products. Please consider sharing your thoughts by submitting them through our official feedback form.

Hope this information helps! 

Best regards, 

Stephanie

It does exist as a third-party solution through a company called "Flair." You can find their smart vents online. I think you have to use their temperature sensors and install a hub. But they advertise that they work with Google Home. I haven't tried them out. Alternatively, if you have a hub like SmartThings, there's a company called "Keen Home" that makes smart vents that work through their own ecosystem. But since they partner with SmartThings, you could use that as a bridge for automations with your nest devices (at least I'm pretty sure that would work based on how I've used SmartThings to bridge devices that GH Automations can't work with).
