I caught up with your previous post:

_I am new in home assistant. Tried to use the bond integration._  
_The integration recognized all my fans but only created buttons for fan speeds, revert fan, increase/decrease light brightness. The most trivial button of turning on, turning off, toggle light (which in my fan is the same button) the integration didn’t add. Why is it? How can I had those buttons to my home assistant?_

_(In my bond app there are those buttons)_

_Tnx!!!_

What remote template do you show in your Bond app?  
Go to your fan in Bond, hit the menu button, hit Settings, expand Advanced.  
Do you see a Template listed, like so?

I also found an old post from you in 2022. Not sure if you’re still controlling the same five fans as you were last year, but I thought this was potentially relevant:

> Each remote has the next buttons:

> 1. Turn off (for the fan only)
> 2. 6 buttons - 1-6 fan speeds
> 3. One button for the light, which makes the light to turn on at first push, second and third push will change the light temperature and the fourth push will turn off the light.

To me, it doesn’t look like with point #3 above that there is a discrete single command for LIGHT ON or LIGHT OFF on your original remote. That may be why you don’t have a button in Home Assistant to toggle the light ON or OFF, since there is no single button press that can reliably do that, even on the original remote.
