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:

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.

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.
