I'd love to see more information on the product. Like my profile says, I worked at an HVAC optimization company a few years back. We played with the idea of adding wireless vents to control flow, but parkrrr mentioned we were concerned about pressure, along with not getting permission from our clients to swap there vents. Most of our clients had anywhere from 2 HVAC units controlling the building (most fast food chains), up to 40 (for a massive office we installed in). Depending on the building size and the number of individual 'zones' a given HVAC unit has to hit, it was almost impossible. We ran into issues where no matter what our system did, it would just not cool the kitchen below 95°F. Granted, the owners of these chains were incredibly frugal, often buying the cheapest option no matter what (plus we'd sold many of the systems on false promises before our original CEO left the company).
What is ecoVent using to manage communication? Long-range bluetooth, WiFi, Zigbee or Z-Wave? What kind of communication do you have going on in general? If you're looking into any 'performance' monitoring, but leaving the company I was in charge of developing an "early alert" system that would alert you to when the unit had degraded to the point of repair (before breaking). Since the old company's been defunct for years now, I don't see any conflict sharing the IP.

- dfc 13y agoIs there any chance you can address parker's, tsumnia's or joezydeco's concerns publicly? I redid some of my ducts and the contractor and I spent a fair amount of time making sure everything was balanced. Without this experience the importance of balancing the pressure never would have occurred to me.
