Pure software solution is discussed in the linked thread but doesn't seem to have materialized yet.
Meanwhile, interested in h/w solution e.g. https://keenhome.io/products/smart-vent
Apparently there are multiple threads in hass comm e.g. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/using-multiple-sensors-to-control-single-thermostat-which-method-thermostat/311553
Master toilet: w 11 6/8 inches, h 5.5 inches
Master bath above sink: w 13 6/8 in, h 5 7/8 in
Oops. I have to redo measuring as according to flair.com the measurement in need is the size of the vent, not the cover. Backed by keenhome.io as well.
HOW TO MEASURE VENTS
- Remove your existing vents
- Measure the existing hole (not the vent cover)

Measured the vent at the master bathroom, 12.5 in x 3.75 in. I don't find the exact size on Smart Vent Pro on Keen. The video Flair made suggests that the duct openings can vary by a quarter or by half inch. With that, 12 x 4 vent should fit.
Then, keen's web page inconsistently shows often 4x12 available and often not. I cannot add one to cart. Ok it's fair to assume Keen is out of business according to this article (slashgear.com).
Found Ecovent Smart Wall Vent that supports zigbee and 4x12in.
I cannot find who's the manufacturer of Ecovent products. Turned out Ecovent started in early 2010s then looks like they got merged by Keen (keenhome.io)...
That said I went ahead giving a try ecovent smart vent.
SE forum ends up with "no Zigbee". Then I found someone said Keen works with Zigbee, so I'm asking for a clarification.
Another approach is to abandone smart-home integration and just go with standalone (I'm saying this only for vent). community.home-assistant.io#12233/5 shows AC Infinity AIRTAP T4 (4x12), a vent with embedded thermostat.
Someone said (home-assistant.io) was successful on HASS, changing hvac set temperature based on multiple (not just one) sensor measurement. Worth reviewing.

Problem might be very similar to what's discussed in community.home-assistant.io/#387147.
