@Stinsonddog  
I am Guy from Bond Engineering, nice to meet you here

1. pair Bond to number of Somfy shades  
you mentioned “We have 4 Somfy shades on the same remote” - lets call it remote\_all  
so you dont need to pair your 4 shades to the Bond one by one.

when you create a new Somfy shade in the bond app,  
during the pair process - you should press the remote\_all pair button  
then, you tap the pair button in the Bond app, then - all 4 shades will pair to Bond.

you just need to verify that when you press the remote\_all pair button - ALL shades jogs,  
meaning - all of them “waiting” for the next pairing signal (from the Bond)

if not all shade joged, not a problem, press remote\_all pair again (short press, not long),  
to get the shades out of pairing state, and try again.  
(short press so the jogged shades will go back to normal,  
and the shades that didnt jog - wont go now to pairing state).

1. the 12 limit  
thats not a Bond limit, the 12 is a limit of remotes that a Somfy motor can store,  
we discovered that if you pair 12 remotes to a Somfy motor, you cant add the 13th one…

thats why it is important that before deleting a paired Somfy panel from the Bond app - unpair it from the shade (the app guides you there)  
or else - this shade holds a remote (bond remote) that was gone (deleted) and it cant be removed now from the shade.
