I assume this is really a US oriented device, considering our fascination with ducted installs and a central HVAC system. I added a multi-zone minisplit system in my last home, and can maintain specific temperatures of individual rooms,so I could not use such a device (The Nest). Could be much more useful with remote temperature sensors in each room and electronic duct dampers. Kickstarter project?
