I am trying to connect Bond to set of existing shades. The Shades work today with the Broadlink RM Pro Universal Remote, but I would like to standardize on Bond.

I have tried to add to Bond both the standard method and advanced method. When I add the standard method, it successfully turns green but the shades don’t work, interestingly the RF Frequency reports 433.66 when going through this process.

I then go to the Advanced process. I plug in the information, including the RF on the remote which is 433.92 . That doesn’t even make the ring green.

To confirm, the remote does successfully work on the Shades.

I would appreciate any help.

Thank you

Can you share some more info about your shades so we can better assist?

It is common that the actual transmit frequency of remotes differs slightly from the FCC filing, due to wide tolerances in frequency-determining components. Bond Bridge attempts to find the true centre frequency.
