Hi everyone.
I’m really interested in purchasing a Bond Bridge to control my ceiling fan, I´m quite sure it will work but…
How about the included power plug, not sure that’s what it´s called so I hope you understand what I mean ![:nerd_face: :nerd_face:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/apple/nerd_face.png?v=12)
However that one will not fit in my wall sockets here in Sweden, no matter how hard I try ![:rofl: :rofl:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/apple/rofl.png?v=12)
I suppose I can use an EU power plug with USB or???
Thanks in advance ![:pray: :pray:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/apple/pray.png?v=12)
Hello @olasjostrand ! Based on the specs, powering a Bond Bridge with any USB plug or AC/DC adapter that can give 5 volts / 1 watt should be possible.
I do think there are some regional nuances related to allowed RF signals / ranges, so I do hope if you try a Bond Bridge that it turns out the way you expect it to work, despite being in the EU / Sweden. ![:sweden: :sweden:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/apple/sweden.png?v=12)
That sounds great.
About the frequency, I talked to the manufacturer of my fan and it’s 434 mhz so it should work ![:sweat_smile: :sweat_smile:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/apple/sweat_smile.png?v=12)

Good luck! Come back and tell us all about it. ![:grin: :grin:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/apple/grin.png?v=12)
As an aside, I used the 2.1A, instead of just 1A, kind of USB power for a Bridge, on the occasions I was not using the original plug.

Ok, I’ll keep that in mind ![:nerd_face: :nerd_face:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/apple/nerd_face.png?v=12)
There it is, in good company ![:nerd_face: :nerd_face:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/apple/nerd_face.png?v=12)
The Bond it´self works flawlessly, didn’t bother to use a “plug” but instead connected it to a usb-outlet on my headless Mac mini.
I use homebridge to implement it to my Apple HomeKit and trying different automations.
However controlling it with voice commands is like a lottery but that’s mostly Siris fault, she´s not the sharpest knife in the box so to speak ![:exploding_head: :exploding_head:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/apple/exploding_head.png?v=12)
