Hello, Been a user of the Bond Bridge for a while now. It was by mistake I found out about the new V2 platform. The migration process is a little confusing, and I only found out about it recently by mistake. (I know I even signed up to be a beta tester!) I’ve convinced a few other friends to buy the Bond Bridge and none of us knew about the new V2 Firmware or that the six device limit had finally been raised. Just a suggestion, you might want to review how users are notified and the migration process… it is pretty confusing (ie two apps, two Google Account linking options, two Alexa Skills) Anyway… I am having trouble with Google assistant commands. I have 7 Fans in my home, All have lights and all have three speeds. I can control them through the Bond app 100% normally, All speeds, etc. I am able to turn both the lights and fans on/off with the Google assistant with no problem. However when I request a specific speed though the google assistant, the Google Assistant responds with “my apologies, I don’t understand.” I have all the devices named Normally and assigned to a room. Example Office fan is the name of the fan, it is Assigned to Office room. In Google home I have Office Fan, and Office Fan Light. I can turn the fan on/off no problem with the assistant. But If I request a specific speed, or request it to change the speed I get “my apologies, I don’t understand.” Hey Google, Turn the office fan on speed 3. - “my apologies, I don’t understand.” Hey Google, Turn the office fan on High. - “my apologies, I don’t understand.” Hey Google, Turn on the office fan - “Okay, turning On the office fan.” Hey Google, Turn Off the office fan - " Okay, Turning off the office fan." This used to work without any problems in the past, but no matter what I try I can’t get it to work with different speeds. Is there a bug, or am I missing something here. ---

> [@mal7887](#): > > Hey Google, Turn the office fan on speed 3. - “my apologies, I don’t understand.” > Hey Google, Turn the office fan on High. - “my apologies, I don’t understand.” Try “_Set_ office fan _to_ speed 3.” (or “Set … to high”). Does that work? > [@mal7887](#): > > Just a suggestion, you might want to review how users are notified and the migration process… it is pretty confusing (ie two apps, two Google Account linking options, two Alexa Skills) This is the probably the biggest thing we’re thinking about these days 🙂 We need to let everyone know, and we’re making sure that everything will go smoothly. ---

D’oh! yes… That works. Thanks! I guess saying Set isn’t a natural way for me to communicate this, In my mind I would “turn it on Low”, or “turn it on High”, etc. But now that I know, I can work on retraining myself to phrase it correctly. Glad to hear about all the progress, I am a big fan of your products and want it to be a great success. I might also mention, I also have SmartThings with my bond account linked to it… I am glad for this ingratiation to exist. Another problem I faced though is when I link SmartThings to google or Alexa I get duplicate devices… And the functionality is different with Google/Alexa depending on if you are trying to control the SmartThings version of the fan or the Bond version fan. Just thought I would mention it, I could see this being a major point of confusion for a regular user. ---

Cheers and thank you so much. I had the exact same confusion and the phrasing fixed it! It must be exactly, “ **Set** [fan name] **to Speed** [#].” I think this answer should be stickied or added as an official FAQ answer on the main Bond support page. Spent half-an-hour figuring out the phrasing. ☹ ---

Spent half-an-hour figuring out the phrasing. ☹ Sorry about your trouble here. We’ve got on our roadmap an in-app “integrations” page that’d show you a list of integrations we offer, and, for integrations you’re already using, show what sort of voice commands you can use. ---

Be good to have more flexibility. I created multiple Routines to achieve my requirement. Very tedious but allows me to map my commands to your requirements.
