I’m trying to get the remote to be recognized by bond. It will say it’s learned and then intermittently change the lights I don’t need full functionality of the remote just the change lights mode FCC ID for the remote is: 2A62O-CW002 I also see that depending on the learning, the mhz will change slightly on the 433mhz spectrum. New to bond, any help is appreciated! ![IMG_9135](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/bond1/original/2X/a/a4b6ccb6b19f3ba8e33124928fbdd8e5bb98549b.jpeg) This is the spectrum that bond identified and slightly changes ---

As a follow up, I think from reading the fcc report the remote operates at 434.00-434.00mhz Even when this is inputted for advanced settings I can’t get this to work with bond. It will learn but not do the command ---

For my tree, which is not Costco, I had to program on and off separately. Toggle did not work as the remote apparently sends two different commands (even though it is a single button on the remote). YMMV ---

When you say program them separately what do you mean? For example on mine has 3 buttons 1. Lower brightness 2. raise brightness 3. switch color modes (which includes an “off”) ---

Which button do you use to turn on the tree? For mine, there is one button that turns it on and off, and other buttons for mode. I ignore the mode buttons as they are not of interest for my automation. I told Bond to setup a light and used “other”. I told it to program an on command and an off command (i.e., not a toggle command). To learn the on command, I made sure the tree is off, then pressed that button. Bond learned that and could now turn the tree on only. I then told Bond to learn the off command, made sure the tree was on, and pressed the same button. It similarly learned that command. There is no assurance that this will work for you but I suspect the technology in these trees are somewhat similar. It seems the remote remembers the state of the tree based on the button presses and sends the appropriate command for the situation. You can therefore expect that using Bond to control the tree will mean the remote no longer knows that state. ---

I had my Costco Xmas tree working last year but this year I can’t get it work. Something must of changed with the further updates on the Bond bridge
