I am in Autralia, I have a TBS 100 EN/s Motor and a TBS 1800/s single channel remote for my curtain and am having trouble setting it up on my Bond bridge.
Remote
Type: RF @ 433 MHz
Brand: TBS
Model: TBS 1800/s
Motor
Brand: RBS
Model: TBS 100 EN/S
Bond Bridge
Model: BD-1000
When I try to add the remote as a generic device my Bond bridge appears to be able to learn / detect the button press ok, blinking green, but I just cannot control the curtain from the bond bridge / app.
Some of the specification on TBS website for the motor and remote
on page 3, It looks like they have their own smart hub and can use connector app(ios) to connect the mote, I haven tried their hub yet.
There is nothing in the doc of “connector” that suggests it is compatible with bond but rather with google, alexa, and native SIRI. Just looked up and find skill for alexa integration, so using the own hub and handle it with their own website control seems to be the obvious choice.
I understand their hub probably will work, but I dont understand why bond bridge wouldnt though, by searching the image of their hub online, it just look dead similar to this https://fccid.io/VYYDD7002B/User-Manual/User-manual-4082340, which use connector+ app Connector+ on the App Store, seems like this hub is for dooya products, which bond bridge supports.
Well after hours try and error, Actually I think I’ve figure it out,
First of all, manul programming will not work.
Sendondly, It turns out I can use either dooya or wynmotion or maybe some others to pair my motor with my remote.
However, the reason it was not working earlier today for this method, as it looks like it requires the curtain motor not only just to pair with an existing remote, but needs to have the curtain limit been set as well, that seems to make the motor think the data is complete and ready to duplicate to another remote. Once the limit has been set, I can press P2, P2 and Pair to add it to bond. I think bond can put this brand TBS into support list as well. just have to make sure to mention not only requires motor pairs with an existing remote, but motor needs to set 2 limits
I have the same issue.
I can see you sorted it out, however I cannot find anywhere that explains how to set the limits so that I can then link it to bond. I can only find info about their rollers.
Are you able to walk me through it?
Adding more details to this as I had the same issue and just resolved.
I have the TBS100 curtain track motors (H0-TBS100wifi to be exact), with TBS1802/S remote.
As previously stated - manually setting the curtain limit positions is the key to this. These motors have an ‘auto-limit’ function so it seems installers do not actually set them - if your motor strains for just a little after the curtains reach the fully closed or fully open position, it is likely they are using the auto-limit feature.
You need to already have a paired remote for this to work.
Manually set OPEN curtain position. Position curtain at your chosen limit open point (ie so the app knows where you want 100% open to be) and press the OPEN and STOP buttons on the TBS180x remote together for 5 seconds. If you have done this correctly, the LED on the underside of the motor will flash green once. It will flash regardless of whether you release the buttons or not if it has worked. Wait a few seconds, then press OPEN and STOP buttons together again for 2 seconds and the LED will flash green 5 times indicating the new OPEN limit.
This didnt happen first time - I had to retry this step a few times. Fully opening, closing and stopping the curtains a few times with the TBS180x remote seemed to dial it in a little. Pressing the OPEN and STOP buttons together as above then was acknowledged by the motor unit with the green flashes.
Repeat the above with the curtain at the closed limit position, and holding the CLOSED and STOP buttons on the remote together to set the new closed limit position.
Open the Bond app and set up a new device pairing using the Dooya bi-directional integration.
When you press the P2 button (top left above the battery) twice on the back of the TBS180x remote, the green LED will flash on the underside of the TBS100 motor each time. There is no jog or beep.
If the green light on the motor has flashed each time when the P2 button was pressed on the remote, go ahead and press the ‘Pairing’ button in the Bond app.
There is no beep or jog to confirm - just click ‘Done’ to complete set up in the Bond app.
Test the open and close via the Bond app. There is around 1-2 second delay using the app slider or buttons so give the motor a moment to respond.
