As part of Bond’s recent expansion into the outdoors by way of new products and partnerships, the brand has announced the addition of Shield Pro to its lineup. Made by Bond, Shield Pro is a weatherproof kit for housing the Bond Bridge Pro RF-to-WiFi device hub outside, closer in proximity to outdoor motorized screens, shades, and pergolas.
These types of appliances are often large aluminum structures that can limit the reception range of motors and fans installed within them. The IP67-rated Shield Pro offers protected installation of the Bridge outdoors. The housing’s plastic construction does not interfere with RF signals, ensuring the Bridge’s 3500-square-foot range in any installation, regardless of the size or material of the structures.
Shield Pro is designed for easy, on-site installation. The 8.5- x 7.2- x 2.6-inch enclosure incorporates knockout holes with weatherproof glands, eliminating the need to crimp Cat5 wire. The mounting brackets are included. MSRP is set at $299. Dealers can purchase directly at www.bondhome.io.
In addition to pergola louvers, Bond Bridge Pro-compatible appliances include inside and outside shades and ceiling fans, as well as awnings, shutters and outdoor heating and cooling systems. The Bridge and App provide intuitive, consolidated smart control of up to 50 appliances. For additional convenience, virtual assistant applications (Alexa, Google, etc.) and home automation platforms can be integrated.
Shield Pro is the latest component in Bond’s expansion into the outdoors. Earlier this year the brand introduced their Breeze Pro wind/rain/sunlight smart sensor and Firefly One outdoor low voltage lighting smart dimmer and put into play partnerships with outdoor pergola company Equinox, Sol-Lux awnings, Infratech heating, and more.
