Plugin for Bond Bridge and Smart By Bond devices - Intro / Config / Screenshots

[alexbk66]

The cheapest option to control Somfy RTS is the RFXtrxUSB-RFX433 with the RFXCOM plug-in.
This plug-in supports many 433MHz devices and only blinds but many different blinds, Fan's, Appliance modules, weather sensors, alarm sensors and more.

RFXtrxUSB is 109.75 €, but Bond Bridge is $99.00, how is it cheaper? Bond supports many blinds, fans (including built-in Smart-By-Bond devices), fireplaces, etc.

It also has infrared (IR) support: The BOND can record and transmit RF (radio frequency) as well as IR (infrared) signals.

[EDIT]

The Bond Bridge supports devices that are controlled by RF remotes within the radio frequency range of 300-450mhz for RF and IR devices that use 38kHz OOK modulation.

No problem. It’s working. Cost me all of 5 minutes I am having trouble syncing the lights. They are backwards on the two LR fans. On=off and off=on. I’ll play more tonight.

You can enable Log in the plugin Settings

Ver 4.0.0.10 - fixed all issues discussed in https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/hs...4-failed/page2

Just to recap - Tmds mDNS was broken, other types worked (the best is Apple Bonjour Print Services for Windows), also upgrading HS3 devices fixed, but it's too late for you

And BTW, HS4 has problem adding more than three controls per device, it's also fixed in 4.0.0.10 - so you need to verify that you have all controls you need. But safer - install 4.0.0.10 and re-create all devices again. Sorry.

[EDIT] Alternatively if any controls are missing - you can go to each device setting (Status Graphics) and set explicitly rows and columns for each control (1 based) - having max 3 controls per row - so columns should be 1 - 3.

None of my HS3 devices functioned after upgrade. I had trouble getting the hub to authorize. Since I wasn’t using Bond devices in events, I just deleted devices and started the plug-in again. It did not auto find the hub, so I entered the IP manually, restarted the hub and all was well.

User reported problem upgrading devices from HS3 - I didn't test upgrade myself, so you can either wait, or delete the devices and re-create in HS4 if there are issues.

I don't charge for upgrade, you should ask HST for the HS4 license

I don’t find it in this thread or in the store. Is there an upgrade to HS4 from HS3 discount
