The idea got me thinking about these Booster gizmos again..
Flush Fit Register Booster Fan

But, what if you installed some duct fans in-line with the rooms
you wanted to control (adding more heating or cooling).?.

(Maybe with less blades, for easy flow-thru when off).

Connected those fans to a thermostat (or off-on switch) in each of those rooms..?.

Installing a few of these Booster fans would mean re-balancing the whole system, with the fans off..

But, this seems like a low cost way of gettin er done..
