Ok I’m hoping someone may be able to help me out. So the main reason I bought my Bond was so I could automate my outdoor shades which I finally got installed. Prior to install, I knew they were controlled via an RF remote so I assumed I would be able to use it with Bond, but now I’m not so sure.
I have already set up my ceiling fans so I know the unit is all good.
Now when setting up my shades, it’s not listed under the pre-programmed brands so I chose “Other”, then when registering a button, it picks up the button press and frequency fine (433.92), but then when testing the button in the app, it does nothing. The light on the Bond flashes, so I know its sending a signal, but nothing happens to the shades.
Is there something I’m missing or can setup differently? I’ve gone through every pre-programmed brand in the app, but I have no “programming” button like they all use. According to the instructions, to pair a remote, you have to hold the “Stop” button on both the remote and the receiver for 3 seconds. Can something like this be replicated in the app?
Sadly not. I did a bit more research at the time and found out these controllers use what’s called a “rolling code” which means it sends a unique signal each time and can therefor not be replicated. Unless something has updated in the past couple of years that allows for this now? But as far as I’m aware, its not possible with these remotes.
Same here! By chance, do you know where I can find the info about it being a rolling code RF remote? I’ve done a search and nothing comes up. Can only see a vague reference to in-built security features on the RF remote manual.
