Anne BildCresskill, NJ – January 26, 2023 – Olibra’s Bond Bridge Pro ($379) simplifies and unifies control of motorized window shades, awnings, and ceiling fans. The Bond App (smartphone, tablet) adds integration with voice control (Josh.ai, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and SmartThings) and scheduling too. Bond Bridge Pro now works with interior and exterior window shades, awnings and pergolas powered by Nice Sun Shading Solutions. One Bond Bridge Pro controls up to 50 appliances in a 3,500 sq ft home. Multiples can be used on larger jobs.
Nice S.p.A. is an Italian multinational company that designs, manufactures, and markets home automation products in over one hundred countries around the world. Solutions include residential and commercial interior blinds, exterior shades, awnings and shutters, automated gates and door operations, security solutions and accessories. Nice is the parent of Nortek Control and ELAN control systems, of which the Bond platform is compatible.
In North America, Nice does not offer a native app solution like Bond Bridge. In the past installers have had to piece together third-party accessories which are not as robust. Bond Bridge Pro is the only way to wirelessly control Nice powered window shades natively in North America. It can also now serve as a single unifying operating system when Nice and other shade motors are used in an installation. This streamlines the effort, reduces accessories costs and eliminates the need for additional training.
Bond Bridge Pro operates shades by Nice, Somfy, J. Geiger, Rollease Acmeda, Bofu, A-OK, Dooya, Gaposa, Motion Blinds/Coulisse, PowerShades, J-Star, BTX and Trax, with more to come in 2023.
Bond Bridge Pro integrates with ELAN, Savant, Control4, Crestron, URC, RTI, Homebridge and Hubitat home automation. In 2021 CE Pro Magazine recognized Bond Bridge Pro with their IoT/Connected Product award (Control Interface category) which honored residential and commercial market IoT-related products.
Bond Bridge Pro’s functionality plays to the very heart of what consumers seek in smart shade control. This is validated in Bond Bridge’s extensive survey of 100,000 active users of the Bond Bridge platform. Easy-to-read and informative, the survey identifies that convenience, voice control, integration, security and Smarthome are all key drivers. Access the survey here: https://bit.ly/3BspihN
