New to home automation, Haven't even ordered HomeSeer yet. Looking to automate, light, HVAC, IRRIGATION, Garagae, lock and TV/AV room.
I currently have 1 zone thermostat setup downstairs. Thinking of ways to improve system into a fake 2 zone with home automation.
Anyone attempted it?
First Stage
Add sensors upstairs to measure temperature.
Modify target so upstairs temperature target is reached at night.
Second Stage
Get 2 Automated dampers and install them where the HVAC forks up and down (not even sure if that's possible)
Add some z wave Contact relay to get dampers to open or close.
Setup thermostat to run so that both zone reach their target temperature.
In practice because have different target for upstairs and downstairs during day/night. It's probably easier to have upstairs damper closed during the day and downstairs one open.
