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, […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Update: Some of the more major issues have been fixed, but new issues crop up in the process. For example, an issue since the last update is displaying the wrong device status until you force stop the app and reopen. At first I thought the state was getting out of sync, but it just isn’t […]
I love the ability to control the fan & light remotely from my phone. I can turn the fan and light on from 1360 miles away, which I do if the humidity in my house rises. I know it’s working through my security camera app. The only negative is that the actual remote becomes disabled […]
Great app if you have a flag ship fan link “Hunter” it can find you remote model and grab all the settings (buttons) instantly. If not you have to program each button. If having issues programming, go into advanced settings (if having trouble programming fans) and turn type to “Auto” and not just frequency. Even […]
I’ve only had it for a few weeks, but it’s been great so far for my house’s 6 ceiling fans. Setup is a little confusing at times – if your remote isn’t imediatley recognized, 2 fans next to each other that use the same type of remote, and random other things that may not be […]
I didn’t trust the app’s remote detection when first setting it up, since it didn’t match the model of our ceiling fans, and tried to program instead. That was frustrating, but after trying again and choosing the detected remote, things work well. One unit covers our 2 story house, and works great with the assistant. […]
No more lost remote, it lives in its holder and we just use the app! The only features missing from the fan remote was the light timer (only had fan timer) and the “home” function that turns the light off and on at varying intervals to make it look like you’re home. Don’t miss either […]
I tried using the Wink smart fan and light controller, the unit failed and integration was just ok. I moved over to Bond Bridge and it rocks! I was able to setup all 6 rooms in my house in under 30 minutes and it is supported in Smartthings which is my smarthub of choice. I […]
There are still a great number of things to be worked out. I am literally only controlling a few fans and a handful of outdoor lighting (5 bulbs – 1 fixture)…fans (dimmers not included) work flawlessly – dimmers can be a little sketch though part of that may lay on my end re: the module […]
The first iteration of this application was horrible…there was nowhere to go but up. And now they have soared to the top. I have 4 devices at different points of a 3000 sqft house and they work flawlessly. Ironically two devices work better with the app/phone than the original remote control supplied!! Excellent product.
Great app with full controls for speed, direction, light, dimming and more. used it for 6 months and works extremely well, amazing! Being able to control from my phone makes it always easy to get the most from the fan even if the actual remote is across the room. I actually prefer the Bond app […]
