BD-1000 should be the Bond Bridge in general.

Interesting that Minka Aire is labeling it in a slightly confusing manner.

Note that the Bond Bridge in general has some caveats to lighting control if that is used with remotes/receivers that do not have a separate Light On and Light Off command.  
Any time you see “[Smart by Bond](https://bondhome.io/product-category/smart-by-bond/)”, where the Bond technology is integrated into the remote/receiver natively vs the Bridge, you will have a more robust setup (particularly as regards integration with home control systems).
