Ventbots: The Future of HVAC and Home Automation.

TL;DR Summary
A software person built vent boosters to solve the common HVAC problem of uneven temperature distribution in different rooms. The boosters are ESPHome controlled, 3D printed, and powered by PC fans. They can be integrated into Home Assistant or run stand-alone using their own temperature and pressure sensors. The project includes a startup sequence that checks for compatible temperature sensors and a board layout that accommodates different capacitor lead spacings. The builder also graphed noise levels and pressure sensor readings against temperatures to optimize fan triggers.
