Bond Bridge RF Control - Shades
Motorised shades, fireplaces, and RF devices
Controls up to 8 shades, 8 fireplaces, and 8 generic devices per interface through Bond Bridge. Somfy integration, tilt support, position adjustment.
Professional Bond Bridge integration focused on motorised shades, Somfy devices, fireplace systems, and generic RF device control within Q-SYS. If you need ceiling fan control, see the Bond Bridge RF Control - Fans plugin instead.
The plugin controls devices locally through your Bond Bridge hardware with no cloud connection required. Network scanning discovers Bond devices automatically, eliminating manual device ID entry and speeding up deployment. Each device type gets its own dedicated interface page, keeping controls organised and easy to navigate.
