> The reason this was important to me is that I used a Shelly device with Home Assistant to detect when the wall switch is turned on. The switch is attached to the Shelly which sends an MQTT command that tells Home Assistant to tell the Bond Controller to turn the fan’s light on. Yes, that is a long trip, but the response time appears the same as when using the bond controller to turn the light on.

I’m having trouble with this same remote, and interestingly I have the exact same setup - multiple fans on a single circuit, with a Shelly controlling power, all controlled by Home Assistant.

Right now though, I [can’t even get the Bond to trigger the toggle functions](https://forum.bondhome.io/t/request-home-decorators-home-depot-fans-with-fcc-id-2abup-ft1212r/3342). I used the bond-cli to do some live logging, and I see that it does seem to be sending some very long strings (they are truncated in the info level logs), but given that it doesn’t work, I doubt shortening the sequence will help.
