The right smart tstat system, leveraging this model, could then actually achieve total home comfort instead of peaks and valleys of comfort.
or we all just wear suites that regulate the personal environment for us.

There are some smart vents.

The second one is interesting because it senses pressure in the system.
I have a Nest. If I were to do it again I would probably pick the Lyric or the Ecobee. Nest has some nice features but some times it tries to be a little to clever and wears its little battery down so much that it has less features than Otto-Matic's slidy leaver thermostat.
