Just a heads-up, these do NOT work with regular Nest thermostats. If I remember correctly these require either "E" or "Learning" type. Found that out the hard way. Make sure your Nest thermostat model is compatible before purchasing.

Thanks for confirming what I thought was complicated situation. My heating is hot water baseboard. Not sure about smart vents, but for now I probably would stick with what I have, unless I can get more zones added at some point in the future. I was considering ecobee but after I got Nest Learning thermostats for pretty low price from my power company, I decided to just go with these. I have 3 zones of heat, and always wanted to get a remote for certain areas, but even for 1 zone just for the basement maybe (where my little workshop is on other side and is always colder, because thermostat is near the furnice) I think this could help, definitely.. hoping the range is good, but too bad I missed the sale.
My mistake. A smart vent would only work if you had forced air (literally opening and closing vents to limit temp fluctuations).
They do make WiFi controlled valves that might work for radiant heating.
But it sounds like the simpler solution might be to add a WiFi enabled portable heater where you're finding inadequacies.
