The Bond Bridge connects both RF and IR remote-controlled devices into the smart home ecosystem, and it’s fully compatible with voice-activated smart speakers like Amazon Echo and Google Home. It enables mobile control of appliances that have been problematic in the past, including remote-controlled ceiling fans, window and portable AC units, evaporative coolers, electric fireplaces, garage doors, and power shades. Power on/off, control fan speeds, and turn on lights – all from your phone, tablet, Echo or Google Home. Features: Voice control through Alexa and Google Assistant; setup takes just minutes; no hardware to install or rewire. Through the mobile app (iPhone and Android), BOND allows users to customize functionality. Available on Amazon and Home Depot.
