Automated vent control!

Heya folks, I built a little zone control/smart register (in the HVAC sense) demo yesterday! It uses an MLX90614 IR thermometer to detect when a person or some other warm object is in front, and opens the vent to cool it down. There’s a Photon, servo, and only one 3D printed part to bring it all together.

Video of it in action.
