That's essentially what zoning is, most commonly used to heat/cool different floors of a house separately without having to have multiple furnaces and AC units. If I understand correctly, you want the shut-off flaps or gates as cl

Tricking you into taking flowers and then trying to charge for them is already a Whole Thing, too. Not that that makes what they did any better, but this specific behavior sets off "scam" alarm bells for me.

Hence the shared dumbphone to take places. If we have to, we'll get one for each. No personal smartphones until they can pay for it themselves, at which point I reckon that's proof enough that they're responsible enough for
