Does Bond support Apple Homekit? Someone on another forum said it does, I can’t find any mention on the website or product pages. I would like to understand before ordering a Bond (not Pro). Thanks

Only for Shades, and only in beta. ([Bond Bridge + Homekit integration (via Homebridge) - #6 by merck](https://forum.bondhome.io/t/bond-bridge-homekit-integration-via-homebridge/4574/6))

HomeBridge plugins seem to be the way for most folks.

Interesting thanks! Where can I find more info/documentation/limitations on it? I have some follow up question I hope it’s ok to ask here let me know if it’s best to ask in the other thread instead.

1. Looks like it’s beta for over a year, is it still under development ? Would you eventually fully support it and expand it to other devices as well?
2. I have 3 Somfy RTS rolling shades on windows and 4 Somfy RTS Awnings in the balcony. Will the Awnings work too maybe as shades?
3. How do I setup/pair it?
4. Are the original remotes still functional?
5. What is the range?

I don’t use it myself (and disclosure for clarity: I am not Bond staff).

But the Bond team has indicated there are blocks for expanding HomeKit beyond where it is unfortunately:

> [@Bond Bridge v4.6 Firmware Now in Beta](https://forum.bondhome.io/t/bond-bridge-v4-6-firmware-now-in-beta/4728/26):
>
> […] HomeKit support. Too complex for us to support. Hoping we can bring in Matter for native Apple Home integration in the future, but Matter is—at least right now—also very complex from a development perspective. Sorry, David, but there’s been no change here. We are just not able to support HomeKit properly before eventually bringing in Matter. The third-party SDK that we are using for HomeKit support is now totally unmaintained, so we cannot really bring anything new there.
