Hello, I have the Bond Pro. I tried to configure bidirectional vertilux motors model 6-800-MB-25B01, but they do not work in any way. I have tried multiple ways without any success.
@merck – this seems to be ASK @ 433.92 MHz, which you’ve equated to “usually means OOK”.
Bond’s “Supported Devices” kinda leaves this brand as an unknown I think.
This is something we are looking into. But not currently supported. It’s a unique protocol. Man there are a lot of these. It’s like zoology or something.
Any updates on adding support for Vertilux remotes/blinds?
I have the Vertilux Smart 35 RT Tubular Motor and I tried to record the button presses from the wall mounted remote Vertilux MOTWV01RG and MOTWV02RG and unfortunately and it does not record the 433.92MHz signal and replay it to control the shades.
Is there a workaround?
We will definitely have some news here soon, like lets say ~6 weeks from now.
Exciting, thanks for the update @merck, I will wait patiently for an update!
Do you have any updates to share about this?
We should have a beta out within a week.
Update on this please? just had my shades installed today and the Vertiluz Chic Celtic Remote wont work
Any news on the beta @merck
Yes, as of a few minutes ago, Apple approved our v2.53 app for iOS. If you install that app and use the Beta firmware for you Bond Bridge Pro, you can set up a Vertilux Bidirectional motor.
Sorry I can’t get it to work.
I have tried:
Stable latest fw
Beta latest fw
Older and latest app
Put the motor on pairing with 1 jog, with 2 jogs where there is a blinking blue light…
All on uni directional as I don’t have bond pro
Edit: my remote says in the back “for bidirectional blinds”, so maybe the issue is that I don’t have a bond pro
Any ideas?
Vertilux Bidirectional motors can only be used in bidirectional mode afaik, so a Bond Bridge Pro is required. I wonder if anyone with a Bond Bridge Pro has been able to experiment?
Sure that would make sense. I honestly don’t know what I have, because Vertilux is horrible at giving info out to end customer, but I guess if the remote says for bidirectional I guess the motor probably is. I got the shade pre-built and installed so I can’t see what’s inside.
Hopefully someone with PRO can chime in. I can’t swing a Pro purchase now, I will keep looking online for a used one, if I find it, I will try it and report back
I have the BD-1000 will this support the Vertilux shades or am I out of luck? If it won’t I will be very disappointed, as I was under the understanding the difference was the number of devices supported.
We recently implemented two different Vertilux motor technologies:
The unidirectional is supported on both Bridges, the Bidirectional only on Bond Bridge Pro.
Merk,
Mine is bidirectional. I don’t know from bond or bond pro. I have the BD-1000, will it work or not. If not, the unit really doesn’t help me as I have other options for my fans.
Thanks,
Gregg Goldstein
Gregg, the BD-1000 (Bond Bridge) does not support Vertilux Bidirectional, they are only supported on BD-1750 (Bond Bridge Pro).
Thanks. Wish I had known that limitation before I made my purchase. I had not yet had my blinds installed when I ordered the Bond unit from Hone depot. It is now last the time I can return it I am dismounted that you don’t support the remote in both units and when I raised the issue over a month ago was told it’s coming out shortly. At that point I could have been told it was not going to be supported and still returned it.
@ismartsolutions do you have any feedback since we added Vertilux bidirectional support into the Bond Bridge Pro?
