BONDBRIDGE PRO | Add Wi-Fi to Motorized Shades | Ceiling Fans and Fireplaces| Ethernet port & PoE | Compatible with Alexa, Google Home and App

New home and needed it to work with our auto blinds. Did the job and still works great! User friendly as well.

Works well with home assistant, the app to get it set up is fairly intuitive too, but the range is absolute garage, I don't understand how it can be so weak with this kind of price tag! It doesn't even work on the rolling shutters from one room away!

I had a couple goals for the Bond Bridge Pro:- Control our Shade Store branded shades. This works great, I used Rollease Acmeda as the motor type, which Shade Store re-brands- Control our Monte Carlo fans. Unfortunately, Monte Carlo uses 2.4 ghz and the Bond Bridge Pro doesn't support any fans on that frequency. It shouldn't be listed as a support fan brand!So review is in the middle.

The setup took just minutes to identify the three Somfy outdoor roller shades we have. I set up an automation group easily and easily added these shades to my Smartthings hub. The AI (Artificially Impaired) technology known as Alexa is still struggling to respond properly but that is a Bezos problem, not a Bond Bridge problem.Initially, my experience did not start out well. First off, the power supply did not work so I used the POE instead. The set up seemed easy but the shades were not automating correctly. On a Sunday afternoon, I used the "Chat with Customer Support" option on my Bond Bridge Home application. To my surprise, Julie answered the chat within a minute. She helped diagnose an issue with my initial setup that turned out to be a defective unit. I ordered a new one and the replacement arrived within 24 hours.

This product is amazing, and transforms power shades into a futuristic experience! I especially love the ability to set schedules based on time of day and sunset.The one disappointment with the hardware is the anachronistic micro USB, which requires an adapter from USB C. I would like to see native USB C for power in the next version.

I was really hoping this would work with my fans, but unfortunately, it didn’t. I have three different brands, and none of them responded properly. I managed to get one fan to turn on, but only at its lowest setting, even though the remote for it was listed in the device’s database. I’m wondering if the unit I received might be defective.

Device was really easy to setup once I understood the instructions. Also easy to integrate with Home Assistant. The range, however, is a joke. I don't know how they say a pro will handle a house over 3000 feet. My Bridge is about 20 feet from my bedroom and it doesn’t work. It controls the fan in the same room fine. The remote that comes with my fan easily works from the room where the hub is. I probably should have got the cheaper version.

I would completely recommend this product for home automation.The Bong Bridge Pro filled in the control of my roller blinds and older ceiling fans.Installed on my Unifi 24 POE switch no issues there, POE works. I have 7 Vertilux AC roller blinds and 2 wireless ceiling fansI use Apple HomeKit with Homebridge to get full coverage or get more functions from devices. Setup of the Bond App was quick and easy and programming the Vertilux remote to Bond was simple. In the Bond app you can Open/Close/Stop and have 1 preset. Also a schedule and grouping for the devices. you can activate homekit in the bond app. In Homekit you can also do the groupings and set automations along with your other homekit devices. The only thing I don't like is you only get Open/Close function for commands. No stop or access to the preset, Also tested the bond homebridge pluggin and you get the same functions open/close. THe scheduling works great everytime closing and opening the blinds.Next I plan to get the Fans added to controll speed and light functions. Also plan to add a unit to a neighbors apartment who has somfy blinds and numerous wireless ceiling fans.
