I’ve scoured the internet including here and found a lot of people having this issue but no definitive solution.

I have some shades paired with my Bond Bridge (firmware v4.7.16-beta), and integrated with HomeKit via Homebridge (homebridge-bond). The verbose output of Homebridge indicates that it supports a variety of commands/actions:

`[10/24/2024, 3:19:03 PM] [Bond] [Shades] actions: Aux,Close,CloseNext,Hold,Open,OpenNext,Pair,Stop,ToggleOpen,Unpair`

In the bond app I have Open,Close, and Stop commands. All of them work as expected.

However, in the Home app, I only have (voice) options to open or close. “stop” and “hold” commands are not recognized. In the Home app UI I have a slider that only works to fully open and fully close, if I move the slider to for example 10% or 25% or 50%, the shades fully open. If I use the voice command “Set the X shades to 20%”, I get a popup acknowledgement but nothing happens.

_ **In short, it seems that Homekit is not recognizing the Stop command, or setting to any percentage value.** _

Any input on this issue would be much appreciated! 😄
