The new compatibility brings enjoyable, intuitive smartphone control, seamless home automation system integration and greater energy efficiency.
Cresskill, NJ – August 11, 2023 – Bond, makers of the Bond Bridge RF-to-WiFi platform, today announced compatibility with SunPro Awnings and Screens powered by Dooya and Somfy motors. This brings Bond’s app-based smartphone control and greater home automation integration to SunPro. The Bond Bridge ($99 MSRP) and more advanced Bond Bridge Pro ($379) provide intuitive, feature-rich smartphone control to many brands of window coverings, ceiling fans and gas fireplaces, affording the SunPro dealer to mix and match different motors within the same smart home atmosphere.
By way of the Bond Bridge Pro the SunPro products can now seamlessly integrate with Crestron, Savant, Control4, Elan, RTI, URC, and Homebridge home automation systems. The Bond Home app also brings to the SunPro products voice activation via Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, SmartThings, and Josh.ai. The Bridge(s) and SunPro used together not only deliver smarter control, but greater energy efficiency too.
“The SunPro-Bond partnership exemplifies SunPro’s commitment to continuous product development and cutting-edge technology. We strive to give our dealers smart home options for their customers and Bond Bridge delivers on that promise,” said Paul Wade, Director of Product Design at SunPro.
“The Bond Bridge RF-to-WiFi platform is increasingly becoming recognized as the preferred way to control motorized window shades, drapery, screens, awnings, and ceiling fans. As we continue to expand our list of compatible devices and partners in our mission to be the smart home control hub of choice, we are building the framework for the homes of the future,” says Zohar Shinar, CEO at Olibra (Bond parent). The Bond Bridge and Bond Bridge Pro are now available to SunPro dealers directly from SunPro.
