Ratings and reviews

While I dislike having to register and the device to phone-home on at least initial setup, the device works well and the Home Assistant integration works great. I bought the basic Bridge just to be able to automate one blind, and while that use-case makes it quite expensive, I imagine most users will have more devices to control. Better than expected, really.

After some testing I found the correct location for the bridge so that all three fans were within reach of the bridge and the bridge was in reach of the wifi router. Since the fans only receive signals they do not communicate the status of the fan to the Bond App. This is a limitation of the fan, not the Bond system. When a individual remote is used ,the status of the fan will not match the status on the App. use the remote again to match the status(on/off, speed etc.) To avoid this use App.

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 / controllers / bulbs. On the lighting side it can be difficult to align those 5 bulbs color and brightness wise. You should be able to copy or apply the same settings across them all. I'm mainly happy 😊
