Where's the dark mode option? It's too damn bright to use at night. I currently have built scenes to try to mitigate the BLINDINGLY white screens (due to the lack of dark mode), but even that has problems. Because you have to aim for the small "play" buttons. If you press anywhere else on them, it takes you to the edit screen... Which you guessed it... Is blinding white while I'm trying to adjust the fan and not wake up my partner. SERIOUSLY. WHERE'S THE DARK MODE. THIS ISNT DIFFICULT.

Great product? Great product. I lost my remote. I didn't know how to open. It was a big window for me. Looking over the ocean and I had people coming over and I couldn't find my remote, by the way, can I get another one? Somehow, I'll pay, and I opened up my phone, and I remembered my installer, put it on my phone. I hit the button shade went up. So thank you for your remote

The developers need to realize that these controllers are for shades used to block sunlight. I would give it 5 stars if it weren't for the gap between 3 hours after sunrise and 3 hours before sunset when you can't program the blinds to open or close. I don't want to use a set time because of the changes throughout the season. Please fix this in a new update!

Fantastic hub with easy setup! Tried the broadlink hub with Yoolax blinds and was hit or miss. Bond hub immediately connected, worked incredibly well and synced with Google home. Edit 2 years later now, the device works half the time. I've been in contact with them multiple times and they fixed it once but then they changed something in the firmware which undid the fix. I have done tremendous amount of testing on this and I have provided them with solutions, but they have implemented.

More about the company and the app... This is my second Bond Bridge. The first didn't function after trying to bring it back online after a move. The team did a tremendous amount of troubleshooting over email over weeks before offering to give a discount on a new one. After receiving the new one, I know that the older one obviously was damaged in the move, because this new one went through the app guiding navigation with ease and after just a couple of minutes the bond was up and ready to use!

Need to be able to program missing/all button functions in manual mode for RF and IR remote types. When bond does not have the device in the database, you cannot manually program all the advanced functions you might have on your remote. I have some generic devices that have a bunch of functions. Adding generically gives toggle, on and off only. I have to create a device for each special function. Most fans from major brands work. Tip: use the most complex function to find your remote.

This unit setup was so flipping easy. Wired in power. Tested the remote and that worked perfectly. Then installed the Bond app and that went smoothly with firmware upgrade. The process required some patience and uses up a bit of my cell battery but 5 minutes later and BAM! Works awesome. Thanks. Happy customer. Now i will buy more for the other rooms.

This is an awesome little device that packs a punch I love being on the control my fan in the bedroom from my phone, I can't seem to get mine stay connected anytime I go to it it's always saying sinking if I unplug it and plug it back in then it works for a day or two and then stops so I had to change my review it could be an issue with a device but I don't think so

I bought Bond to control 5 ceiling fans and a set of Somfy blinds (not shades). It works perfectly on everything with one exception. The 'close' command for Somfy is equivalent to a short press of the button which only moves the blinds slightly. Even with this limitation, it's still a great improvement over all the remotes!

Terrible device. Fan manufacturer says its bond compatible but the remote is not in their database. Programming the buttons manually into the remote is a real pain and then does not work correctly. Tell it to turn on the fan, and it turns on both the fan and the light, even tho they are programmed as separate devices. Light has the capability of changing color temp, but that doesn't work either. Don't waste your time or money. "Customer support" is terrible!
