V4.32.2-beta for Bridges: BigAss, HomeKit, IntelliFlex

BETA
1

For all Bridges & Mate.
Serial numbers starting with Z or SM.
Stable Release Date: May 20th 2026

What’s Changed since v4.29.42 [26Q1A]

New Features & Integrations

  • Big Ass Fans integration now available on Bond Bridge Pro. This is an IP-IP integration and limited to a small number of fans (approx 6). Feedback on this integration is greatly appreciated.
  • Now supporting the new Draper IntelliFlex REST API with proactive state updates. This requires an updated CNC or DCPP from Draper. The integration should scale better to larger systems and when motors are controlled via other control points, Bond Home app and other Bond integrations will receive state feedback.
  • BondConnect allows linking Mate or Sidekick channels to any Device
  • We have completely rewritten our unofficial HomeKit integration. It should now be far more stable and support lights and ceiling fans. Existing users of the Bond Bridge Pro HomeKit integration should migrate without any intervention needed. This is still experimental and feedback is appreciated.

Bug Fixes

  • fix a database issue that was causing corrupted character to sometimes appear in the Mate’s name & location, and possibly other random issues.
  • groups now run faster, especially for BTX Smart Motors
  • RMS119: Vertilux unidirectional - fix slider and Unpair
  • SBB: fix intermittent CCT control
  • SetHSV: fix argument truncated for scenes/skeds
  • fix issue in RMS12 (RTS) where shades could come unpaired from the Bridge Pro if Sidekick is used extensively without the app

Mate-Specific

  • fix an issue with the menu button interrupting the tech menu
  • fix an issue where the BLE connection would sometimes drop
  • improve battery life by reducing brightness relative to sensor data
  • allow ch00 pair for manual all-channel techs
  • fix an issue with Alpha technology long-press
  • expose current channel so Mate Channel details screen in app can be synchronized

API Changes

  • SBB: removed the subtype field from devices/1. It was unused.

Enhancements for Customer Support

  • BWIFI: expose WiFi RSSI in GET sys/wifi/sta response
  • BBridge: deny action when device requires different BGRX mode
  • Mate now reports battery voltage via BondSync

Currently using the stable firmware with HomeKit for my Acmeda blinds.

A slightly different version number came up when I switched to the beta firmware.V4.32.3-beta, seemed to break HomeKit, removed and re added to HomeKit and the blinds remained unavailable. Went back to the stable version, removed the bond from HomeKit, then upgraded to the beta and tried to re add ut to HomeKit, still no response. Switched back to stable and everything is fine.

End result is I can’t seem to get the beta to work in HomeKit, would love the addition of fans in HomeKit.

Tried upgrading again which was successful however the same problems persist, went to downgrade back to stable firmware and got a “hash mismatch error 106” error, seems I’m now stuck on the beta firmware.
