I recently purchased and setup a Bond Bridge as a SmartThings Connected Service. I immediately noticed that the shades show up as on/off device in SmartThings. I contacted Bond support and they claimed that the SmartThings API doesn’t support open/close device types. Of course other connected services have this working, therefore SmartThings must have this capability.
This has been a well known complaint from other Bond/SmartThings users for well over a year now. I’m very disappointed with the products poorly implemented integration. Should Bond not address this issue in a timely manner, I will abandon the product and search for a suitable alternative. Even if this means replacing all my motors.
To elaborate further, if SmartThings is connected to Google Home, you must tell Google to “Turn On” the shades to open them and “Turn Off” the shades to close them. This is utterly ridiculous!
Buyers be ware!
