Bond’s RF-to-Wi-Fi platform now controls many appliances used in outdoor residential and commercial settings. This includes awnings, pergola louvers, heating and cooling, ceiling fans, solar shades and screens, lighting, and more. And according to Bond’s Outdoor Living Spaces Survey, this is exactly what the category demands.
The RF-to-Wi-Fi Bond Bridge Pro hub and companion Bond Home App bring smartphone and home automation system control to remote-controlled appliances. The App brings new capabilities like scheduling and integration with voice assistance platforms Alexa, Hey Google, SmartThings and more.
With recent partnerships with exterior sun/solar/hurricane shades brands MagnaTrack, Universal Screens, SunPro, TEXTON, BTX, TWO USA, Bon, and Draper, Bond is seeing increased demand for its platform in outdoor settings. Plus, Bond is now compatible with Azenco’s pergola louvers and many of the often-integrated non-motorized solutions like low-voltage outdoor lighting, heating, and cooling systems.
Outdoor Pro Series
Bond has also announced its Outdoor Pro Series. This consists of a weather sensor and an outdoor lighting dimmer.
- Bond Breeze Pro: The Breeze Pro is a smart wind/rain/sunlight sensor that can trigger multiple motorized screens, pergola louvers, and shutters based on user-defined thresholds. Used in conjunction with the Bond Bridge Pro ($379 MSRP), this all-in-one ultrasonic sensor provides real-time weather data, signal strength, and battery status to the Bond App. The sensor offers users and dealers wire-free installation, and setup within the Bond App is easy. Power is either built-in solar or battery. MSRP is set at $599.
- Bond Firefly One Dimmer: Firefly One is a smart dimmer that enables wireless control of low-voltage LED outdoor lighting. It enables users to adjust brightness, set schedules, and view the status of different zones directly in the Bond Home App. The Dimmer integrates a built-in proprietary Bond Wi-Fi chip and is compatible with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi Home Systems. MSRP is set at $149.
