I am looking if a Bond Bridge might me a good option here. I have a wood shop with a central dust collection system I am trying to automate. The dust collector I’d need to turn on/off has a 303.98mhz remote to control it with a on and off button. I also have an air cleaner mounted to the ceiling that has a 315mhz remote and on/off speed and run time options on the remote. Are these potentially controllable via a bond bridge?

Welcome to the forums, @diito !

The answer is _quite likely yes_, I’d say.  
They are both within the RF range of the hardware, and unless they’ve got some weird signals / modulation, they should both have a pretty decent chance of working with a Bond Bridge (BD-1000).

For supported RF ranges at the hardware level:

> [@Bond V2 Platform](https://forum.bondhome.io/t/bond-v2-platform/466/1):
>
> The new Bond units (codename Zermatt) have serial numbers starting with `ZZ` (rather than old units, codename Snowbird, starting with `A` or `B`).
> 
> The `ZZ` (Zermatt) units have the same feature set as the `A`/`B` (Snowbird) units, and so they keep the same model number BD-1000.  
> …
> 
> - expanded frequency range: 285.5 - 505.5 MHz, versus 300 - 450 MHz on Snowbird. (Currently the expanded range is not being used, but this can be available with a firmware update)

All versions of Bond Bridge support OOK modulation, but if for some reason those devices are FSK, here are details related to modulation support at the hardware level:

> [@Quiet cool whole house fan](https://forum.bondhome.io/t/quiet-cool-whole-house-fan/1634/10):
>
> Yes, we will support FSK on BD-1000 (2nd generation) and BD-1750-PRO. Will not support on BD-1000 1st Generation.
> 
> BD-1000 2nd Generation = serial number starting in ZZ. Codename “zermatt”  
> BD-1000 1st Generation = serial number starting in A or B. Codename “snowbird”

How would you know if you are buying a newer Zermatt version or not?

If you buy from our website or our Amazon listing or HomeDepot, you are certain to get a 2nd gen unit.

The only way you’d get a gen 1 (snowbird) is if you got one from a friend or eBay.

That said we learned our lesson and any future major hw change will be a new model/SKU.

Thanks, Chris. I know I probably over-emphasize this difference, but I want to make sure new folks have the information up front. 😅

Please let us all know how it works out if you move forward, @diito.
