I’m going to say that you may want to [enable the Beta channel](https://forum.bondhome.io/t/mobile-apps-v2-32-0-and-beta-firmware-channel/2440) in the Bond app - that could be the firmware update it is referencing.  
Some of the RFP remotes with lower numbers were added in beta firmwares in the past; when I try to add the local version of RFP35 with a POST command via cURL, I get an “unknown device template” even on my v2.29.7-beta Bridge device.  
That seems to me to point towards this being a “cloud” device - and therefore may be complicated enough that the beta firmwares are where it is being tested.

@endy - does that sound plausible?
