I did some testing on this once I got back to my office and it appears a remote is required to set up the limits for the motor. I don’t see a way to get past the requirement to long hold the up/down/stop buttons as required in these instructions: [Pairing](https://www.rolleaseacmeda.com/docs/default-source/us/automate-dc/automate-dcrf-1.1/mtdcbrf_automate_dc-v1-0_5-dec-16.pdf?sfvrsn=897ded3c_6) ---

Hi all, does this allow for 2 way communication between bond and rollease devices so that it knows the position? ---

Last I saw, bidirectional communication was not supported. This was in response to a question about ARC motors, but I believe it holds true for all: > [@V3.1.0-beta for Bond Bridge Pro](https://forum.bondhome.io/t/v3-1-0-beta-for-bond-bridge-pro/3173/16): > > No, we don’t support bidirectional communication. Our investigations so far have shown that the bidirectional mode is not reliable (but it could be a limitation of our cleverness in implementation). So, we have opted to use the uni-directional mode used by the remote controls. Automated hembar alignment for Groups on Bond Bridge Pro is an upside. > > We are not ruling out bidirectional, but for now our priority is reliable one-way control of these motors. > [@V3.1.0-beta for Bond Bridge Pro](https://forum.bondhome.io/t/v3-1-0-beta-for-bond-bridge-pro/3173/24): > > [the Bond Bridge Pro] does _not_ support bidirectional communication with any shade protocol at this time. That being said, I believe with certain brands (Somfy and Rollease), you do have a SetPosition command / slider available if you have a Bond Bridge _Pro_. Not sure if that implementation, like many other Bond device strategies, then requires you to no longer use the original remote? I do not yet have Shade type devices to get familiar with this area of Bond. [API For Shade Position](https://forum.bondhome.io/t/api-for-shade-position/1117) ---

I don’t know if you’re still struggling with this. I just got 12 blinds using the Dooya 2700AC remote and trying to use with a Bond Bridge. Immediately I struck out adding them as new blinds aside from the occasional time it works for 10-20s and then stops working. I then added them as a fan instead of a blind and hey presto, I have now added four blinds and they are all working. No idea why this would be the case, but I’m going to roll with it and do the rest of them, and hope they continue to work… Good luck [Previous page](https://forum.bondhome.io/t/rollease-acmeda-and-dooya-motorized-shades/413.md?page=4)
