Custom Button Training through app

We’ll see if the Bond staff see this and respond about future roadmap / timelines.

In the meantime:

Actually, recording net new custom commands is something I haven’t been able to do via the API - because I can’t make custom Actions via the API any way I’ve tried.

So what I’ve ended up doing is manually recording as a more full featured device, choosing buttons that are approximately named something reasonably close to the real remote’s button and/or noting down what I chose for each, and then renaming buttons afterwards to be more intuitive.

If you manually record, without database matching, the LED strip’s commands under a Fireplace or Ceiling Fan device, rather than a Generic Device, you can get more buttons.

If you are lucky enough to be able to choose buttons that make sense as is for the respective commands, awesome. If not, you can use the API (I know, you mentioned wanting to do the changes without it) to rename.
See here for an example - note it was for an IR device, but works for RF as well

This is my “fireplace” that is actually an RF lamp with brighten, dim, and color changing - in addition to power on/off.
