How would I add z-wave or zig-bee to a Vent-Miser.
I have Iris door sensors for temp control.
So smartthings control the temperature in a room.
let’s say my Nest thermostat is set at 72 and master bedroom is 78 then cool down master bedroom and exp.
Possibly an xbee module or use st anything and a esp module on wifi.
Do I need a Arduino?
I’m new to it all.
How do I hook it all up and code it
I would not put the smarts at the vent. Put the as close as possible to the manifold, using dampers. Rig those up to arduino or whatever.
I’m trying to Zone a condo that I rent from my folks. They refuse to do anything in the way of fixing the heating there. I’m trying to do this on a poor man’s budget. Downstairs stays cold in summer time in the winter the upstairs stays blazingly hot. So I thought by zoning the system would fix it. That’s what I saw on This Old House. But don’t have the money to Shell out for smart vents.
I now have a osepp uno r3 plus. how would I use it in smartthings.
You can use use @ogiewon’s ST_Anything with a ESP8266 wemos or nodemcu and a relay that will control the Vent-Miser. Then you can use @eliotstocker’s Virtual Thermostat to control the thresholds and operate like a real thermostat. you will probably need a DHT-22 or DS18b20 read the room temperature. All of this is pretty plug and play could be had from Amazon for about $30ish from Amazon, or $15ish from Ebay if you willing to wait.
Vent-Miser tends to be expensive, If you can access the ducting, you may be able to put dampers in strategic places and move them with servos, I have done that works well. The brain part of it will still same as above
I going a direction
I would like to make 7 of them.
how do I install https://github.com/DanielOgorchock/ST_Anything/blob/master/README.md
WeMos D1 CH340 WiFi Arduino UNO R3 Development Board.
But i do not know the port number for the WeMos D1 Arduino and servo for Vent.
No way to get to the ductwork.
How I get the port number.
my code done not send commands to smartthings.

How do I use L9110S and arduino in smartthings to control a Vent Miser?
