Have you taken a look at a [Sidekick in “Keypad / Scene Mode”](https://bondhome-product-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/SKS-500/SKS_Keypad_Mode.pdf)?  
I have done that for a fan known to my Bond Bridge Pro:

… and alternatively I have also just used a “listener” program running on a local computer to ‘hear’ [BPUP events](https://docs-local.appbond.com/#tag/BPUP), specifically for Sidekicks’ [keystream events](https://docs-local.appbond.com/#tag/Keystream), and have that computer listener hand off commands to other systems (which may or may not be RF enabled or even Bond-known).
