Hi,

I’m trying to update the reps, as two of my blinds are a bit flaky and require a couple tries to take a command.

Bond version: “target”:“zermatt-pro”,“fw\_ver”:“v4.8.1”,“fw\_date”:“Mon Nov 25 21:11:01 UTC 2024”

I’m able to drill into the device, but when I try to access either a command or action I get the following:  
curl -H “BOND-Token: xxx” -i [http://192.168.xx.xx/v2/devices/f9930fb8d36a79c5/commands/2e3aee193c3477ee](http://192.168.xx.xx/v2/devices/f9930fb8d36a79c5/commands/2e3aee193c3477ee)  
HTTP/1.1 200 OK  
Connection: close  
BOND-Flags: 4  
Content-Length: 236  
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8

{“name”:“Open”,“action”:“Open”,“argument”:null,“button\_type”:“tap”,“category\_name”:“Shades”,“feedback”:“state.open==1”,“icon”:“open\_shades”,“hidden”:false,“_“:“242d1960”,”\_\_“:“5bcc2c68”,“signal”:{”_”:“00000000”},“tx”:{“\_”:“00000000”}}

and then for the signal  
bws@GamingPC:~$ curl -H “BOND-Token: xx” -i [http://192.168.xx.xx/v2/devices/f9930fb8d36a79c5/commands/2e3aee193c3477ee/signal](http://192.168.xx.xx/v2/devices/f9930fb8d36a79c5/commands/2e3aee193c3477ee/signal)  
HTTP/1.1 204 No Content  
Connection: close  
BOND-Flags: 4  
Content-Length: 0

I get the same 204 response when I work with an actual action also (e.g. action/Close).

Any ideas on how to set retries?

@merck - is it still the case that (some) [Templated devices do not expose their signal endpoint / data](https://forum.bondhome.io/t/need-to-hold-repeat-rf-signal-for-a-few-seconds/1059/50)?

Is there an API way to modify reps even when this is the case for a device?

Also, @bsettlemyer , nice digging so far. Welcome to the forums.  
Do you by chance know which Template you have based on the information in Bond, and what brand you see on your blinds?

Yes, the template is RMS35 (they are Rollease Acmeda blinds).

bws@GamingPC:~$ curl -iH “BOND-Token: xx” [http://192.168.xx.xx/v2/devices/f9930fb8d36a79c5](http://192.168.xx.xx/v2/devices/f9930fb8d36a79c5)

Now that I’m starting to grok the API, it appears that for my blind type the signal field is null, so I’ve been trying to identify where inside these fields I can find something similar. There must be some other type of control channel I guess.
