motorized damper control using a contact switch and remote temp sensor?

I’m thinking of putting some motorized duct dampers to divert air between the upper/lower floors.

Couldn’t I use one of these motion sensor with temp in mount it in an upstairs room and setup a scene so if a temp reach X then damper opens then if it reach Y then damper close via a dry contact switch to trigger the 24v transformer?

You would probably be better off doing this…

Buy a normally CLOSED damper.
Buy a Z-wave thermostat
The thermostat will apply the 24v to the damper when it calls for heat (or AC), thus opening the damper.

Much more simple solution in my opinion. :slight_smile:

Hope this helped. Good luck with your install!
