HVAC Zoning with Ecobee

Hello all,

I have the following components, and I’m trying to do some zoning with them.

Suncourt ZoneMaster (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078P2S1PZ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details)
Aeotec aërQ (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0987MNJZ1?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details)
Aoycocr Smart Plugs (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N1JPPXK?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details)

I’m trying to cool the attic with the same HVAC unit as the main floor. Here is the breakdown.

The main floor HVAC (Ecobee) is set to stay between 65-76 °F.
The attic gets hot.
The ZoneMaster is closed by default (Attic will always be hotter than the main floor and will need more airflow).
When the main floor is between 65-76 °F, the ZoneMaster will stay closed. When higher, it will open.
When the attic is above 76 °F, the HVAC will change the status to cooling until it reaches the desired temperature.

I got the following so far:
