alanchow Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Submit the FCC number on the remote to Bond Home technical support and they will advise if it will work with their Bond Bridge hardware. https://olibra.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/categories/115000320752-Purchasing-Questions Our driver is complete and waiting for their beta firmware to be released to the public. Should be released in the next few weeks so once the Bond firmware is released we will release our driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evil0ne Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I see the bond on Amazon for $69 refurbed. I think I’ll give it a shot and see how it works on it’s own for my Minkas and then reach out for the C4 driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTO Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Yeah I wish I could integrate my fan but it’s a fan / light switch from Lutrom since one switch controls both fan and light. The fans that just have its own switch for light and switch for fan c4 switch controls work great. Just haven’t figured out how to integrate the fan/light combos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More smart by bond manufacturers to come and will be fully supported by our driver. Also if you don't have a minka fan you can retrofit using the Bond fan speed controller. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Universal-Smart-Wi-Fi-4-Speed-Ceiling-Fan-Remote-99434/311264804 msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 My boat house builder is about to start building. He quoted the same fan @ILoveC4 has, the MinkaAire H2O extreme. Does anyone have this fan installed now? How do you like the airflow? How is it integrated into C4? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have this fan installed now? How do you like the airflow? How is it integrated into C4? Thanks.I have this fan and LOVE IT. The only integration I’ve done is have it on a C4 switch. If I were to get a Bond I understand I’d be able to adjust speed and what not but we just set that the way we like it and turn it on and off. It’s silent and moves a TON of air.

Specs indicate that it will move air, so I believe you. We had ours on a plain switch as well. We didn't like that when we went out on a cool night, we had to turn the switch on, find the remote, and turn the fan off. Then, of course, next time we went out the fan wouldn't come on... so it was really confusing for my kids that aren't there everyday. That Bond thing should solve that. Did you get a deal on yours?

CTO13 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I have these Minka-Aire F521 and love the air flow.. I only have one room that only has the fan so I was able to use the C4 fan switch, but the other rooms, have both fan and light so I had to use a aftermarket module so I could turn the single switch into a stack switch so I can control light and fan with a luton speed control stack switch. I wish c4 had one, it be perfect for all these type of installs. Elvis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a cheap solution but I'm hoping the name means it will stand up to the boat house environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours is in a really big room, and when we have it on we have it on whatever speed I set it to the first time. So we just turn it on and off. I’ll look up what I paid for it...hold on.

ILoveC4 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 So, I just looked at my bill. It’s in there itemized at $489, but then at the very end he has a discount of just over 20% applied to the entire order. I have no idea which items that came off of. That price also included installation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTO13 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 my minka fans didn't come with a remote so I guess they won't work with bond home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
