My Bond is “sort of” controlling my Comfortex TDBU (Top Down Bottom Up) window shades, but it could certainly be better, so hopefully someone can help. Remote control: The remote is a 16 channel 433.92MHZ remote, model BF-415. There is no indication anywhere on the remote of an FCC ID. The remote requires the user to press and hold the button for about a second in order for the proper action to trigger. Pairing with Bond: When pairing Bond proposes all sorts of frequencies near 433.92, but rarely proposes 433.92. HOWEVER, somehow (can’t remember how), I was able to pair the top rail with a profile in Bond, and that works fairly reliably. I’m fine setting up the top and bottom rails as separate devices, since they each have their own up/down actions. On the app, for the device I’ve defined as “Top Rail”, in settings/advanced, it says the template is RMS76. So for my questions: 1. Is this RMS76 template associated with the Bond emitting the equivalent of a long press? If so, is there some sort of way I can select this RMS76 template to pair the bottom rails as a separate device? How do I figure out what device that template is associated with? 2. The profile for the RMS76 template does not offer a preset, but my remote allows me to define a preset location to partially open the blinds. Is there a way to get a Preset action into the RMS76 template? 3. a. This one is more of a suggestion. Bond calls the buttons “open” and “close”. Of course with a TDBU, things are opposite. Normal blind: Down = close. TDBU: top rail down = open. Thus, ideally, Bond should rename the actions “UP” and “DOWN”. b. Short of that, is there a way I can reverse the labels? Thanks in advance for any help. ---

I’ve got the exact same issue with my TDBU shades controlled by a BF-415 remote. With the Bond hub, I can control the top rail and have automated it with an Alexa routine to close (with the open command!) at 30 minutes past sunrise. But I can’t auto-open (lower) the top rail with a routine because it will lower all the way to the bottom limit. I need support for a PRESET command, but the RMS76 template doesn’t support it. Has anyone figured out a workaround to emulate this BF-415 remote and control TDBU shades? Thanks! ---

We do have basic support for Bofu TDBUs, but indeed we just have open/close/stop buttons for each rail. We are working on a single control screen and Alexa integration where you can command it to go to a %. Should be ready at the end of March. ![3613D96F-D711-4B0C-BB81-C041342C6C98](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/bond1/original/2X/d/d54192da3b28ff653a5dcfd51d1a4470c3d0510a.jpeg)
