We have released today a stable update for all Bond Bridges (serial numbers starting in Z):
What follows are the changes since the previous stable release, v4.26.3.
Works with Bond
-
Azenco Light Control: Added support for new Azenco Light Bar and RGB lights with dimming and color toggle controls.
-
Azenco Motor Support: Added control for new Azenco motor setup models BST11BD & TVPLA916CC3S (AZK1) with preset position support (0%, 33%, 66%, 100%).
-
Struxure Pergola Systems: Introducing support for Struxure 8-speed fans (RCF260) and RGB lighting (RLT6).
-
Dendo Shade Presets: Dendo (RMS115) shade preset positions (A, Center, B) now work with schedules and Home Assistant.
-
SelectBlinds & 3 Day Blinds: Added support for SelectBlinds Bridge and 3 Day Blinds Bridge integrations on Bond Bridge Pro.
-
Brustor Light Support: Added support for Brustor RLT1 light technology, enabling dimming control for Brustor-branded lights.
-
Big Ass Fans Integration (work in progress): Bond Bridge Pro now discovers and controls Big Ass Fans (BAF) ceiling fans on the local network via mDNS. Supports fan speed, light brightness, and color temperature through the standard Bond API.
- Caveats:
- Increase/decrease brightness commands are not yet supported.
- Fan direction control is not available (not supported by BAF protocol).
- Caveats:
-
RMS119 (Vertilux Unidirectional): fix SetPosition crash for Vertilux unidirectional
-
BTX SBB Dongle: Multiple fixes and improvements, especially for drapery motors.
Bug Fixes & Improvements
-
Draper Discovery: Fixed an issue where Draper discovery would fill the device table with out-of-subnet devices, preventing in-subnet devices from being discovered. Only affects installations with multiple IP Gateways where total device count exceeds 50.
-
Integrations State Syncing: Fixed an issue where device/group state changes were not always detected by integrations.
-
VirtualRC Multi-Button Fix: Fixed an issue where holding multiple buttons in VirtualRC mode for more than 5 seconds could flood the RF command queue and cause errors.
-
HTTP Performance: Improved HTTP API responsiveness, particularly noticeable when sending many commands in quick succession.
Known Issues and Limitations
- Azenco white lights: Brightness slider snaps to discrete levels (old light bar/strip: 0/50/100; new light bar: 0/25/50/100)
- Azenco RGB lights: No brightness slider; control via toggle buttons only (toggle light, toggle color, dimming button)
- Azenco motors: Position states limited to 0%, 33%, 66%, 100%; slider snaps to nearest preset
- Brustor brightness is controlled by remote roller button ticks in a non-linear fashion. Current implementation covers 1%-50% range; brightness changes >50% execute two transmissions (similar to Somfy behavior for >75% changes).
