Does anyone make an electrically activated room vent and matching thermostat
that is wireless? We have two small rooms in a facility that were
balanced, but the occupants of each room have incompatible comfort
requirements. What we would like to find is a cheap room vent that could
be given high and low set points by each user, and when those set points are
reached the vents shut close. We would even be okay with a battery
operated vent, with a power out condition resulting in the vent going to
open (failsafe to open). Basically any design that lets us give each user
some additional control on their personal room environment, with a design
that allows a low install cost, would be desired. We tried thermafusers,
and they just are not very reliable, and they tend to be a hassle to set,
and almost impossible to explain to the end user.
Any products worth recommending for this application?

What you want, and "cheap" are NOT going to happen.
Would you like fries with that?

To all you nay-sayers here...
I created something that does exactly what he's asking for as a senior
design project for my Electrical Engineering degree. Unfortunately,
it's not in production yet as the design is still undergoing
improvements.
