Button type data in API?

In looking at the API documentation, I see an option for “button type”. The default setting is “tap”. Are there accepted options for this, and do they affect the way the signal is transmitted? I’m looking (and hoping) for the option to simulate holding a button down on the remote.

For info - the FCC ID for the remote is RTD-G6RH

Hello - have been spending hours on this topic as well, I need the same command already programmed simply transmitted “twice”. This is a Simple Touch (Dooya-style) shade. I can’t adjust RF transmission length because it shows “signal”:{““:“00000000”},“tx”:{””:“00000000”}}"

“Button_Type” is set to tap. Can it be set to DOUBLE_TAP or “HOLD_START”?

Really need some guidance on this one please.

Sorry - I should been more specific and maybe a new thread. I am by no means a software developer / code writer but I was able to get the shade to work “consistently” in the app by “tricking it” into thinking it’s a generic light on / off / toggle.

From there, I got the signal transmit details on all 3 commands from CURL.

The shade shipped with Simple Touch remote FCC ID 2AWSE-STP017WR15 (HT Window Fashions Corp)
The shade also works successfully with a DD2702H but ONLY in uni-directional mode. (FCC ID: VYY2702A00 on that model)

Bond Team - would this code / config from Bond app be helpful for you to see? I can’t keep it setup this way forever but I think I may be onto something here. Can I send you setup data? I have a VERY niche “Simple Touch Cellular Shade” brand, from a dealer here in Texas. Have tried hours with this, including knowledgeable dealer support who turned me on to the Bridge.

I know it can work correctly, because it’s controlling it right now, consistently. But if I set this up “correctly” in the Bond app, as a “Real Shade” in the “eyes of the Bond app” (meaning setting it up how I actually should set it up), it’s a 50/50 chance if the close / open command fully closes or opens the shade… or if the motor just “jogs” for a second. (Short press vs. Long Press). Unfortunately I can’t tell the motor to “only accept continuous inputs” as others have suggested, zero option for that on mine confirmed with the manufacturer. I was on profile RMS101 before but tried others. Now I’m just on generic on off toggle, so it isn’t setup “right” but it’s “working right”.

I’m so close here? What can I provide that would help? and THANK YOU for your time.

Hey Rob, could we jump on a screenshare sometime this week? Very interested to see the difference between the signals you are sending manually and those from the Bond-provided template.

Just wanted to send a sincere THANK YOU to Chris @merck for taking time out of his afternoon to meet with me. I was able to get the “Simple Touch” (Dooya-style uni-directional cellular shade) to work by bypassing the remote suggestion options, and teaching each command. Chris thanks again for teaching me how the RF learn feature tied into the proper shade setup procedure.

You guys are great!! This is a very cool product, and the Sidekick remote Gen 3 looks amazing too. I’m not aware of anything else that can xmit Uni and Bi directional signals without changing the mode every time. Very cool product you guys have.

I only wish I bought the dang Bond Bridge PRO instead for the keypad function :joy: :weary:

Cheers guys!! Sincerely thankful for your help.

Rob
