Bond aims to illustrate to designers, dealers, and installers how they can benefit by bringing Smart Home control to luxury outdoor living. Bond’s RF-to-WiFi 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 user surveys, this is exactly what the category demands.
Bond RF-to-WiFi Control Platform
The RF-to-WiFi 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.
Growing Demand for Bond in the Outdoors
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.
Bond’s recent Outdoor Living Spaces Survey verifies that home and business owners actively seek a unified control system for these types of add-ons, and Bond is leading the charge. Bond recently debuted its Outdoor Pro Series. This consists of a weather sensor and an outdoor lighting dimmer.
Introducing Bond Breeze Pro
An industry-first, 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, this all-in-one ultrasonic sensor (another industry-first) – and leveraging integrated proprietary technology – 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.
Introducing 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 WiFi chip and is compatible with 2.4 GHz WiFi Home Systems.
Also, Bond is thrilled to unveil, in collaboration with Gaposa Motors, the seamless integration of the Bond Bridge Pro with Gaposa’s new 40 Nm and 50 Nm AUTONOMO solar-powered motors and SENSE triple try obstacle detection technology motors, designed specifically for outdoor living.
