Bond will show all its smart-control devices in full operation at CEDIA Expo 2026 booth #3900. This includes its Bond Bridge Pro device hub, Mate Pro smart remote control, Breeze Pro outdoor sensor, Sidekick for Shades wireless keypad, and new solutions: the Firefly Bond-native LED strip lighting smart controllers, Shared Access capability for the Bond Home app, and a dealer showroom demonstration kit. Dealers will also get a sneak peek of Bond’s new AI-powered LED strip lighting feature.
Firefly Aura and Pixel RGBWC LED Strip Lighting Smart Controllers
Bond’s Firefly Aura and Firefly Pixel are 12/24VDC in-line, Bond-native smart controllers for RGBWC LED strip lights. With these, users can adjust hue and saturation, choose preset colors, set schedules, and more through the Bond Home smartphone app, Sidekick for Shades, or Mate Pro. Aura controls one zone of common lights; Pixel controls two zones of addressable lights. Both operate on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, and support LED strips up to 100 watts. Each controller also can integrate with home automation systems through the Bond Bridge Pro.
New Ai-Powered Lighting Feature
Attendees will get a sneak peek of Bond’s new AI-powered lighting feature, which enables homeowners to create more personalized and engaging outdoor pergola experiences by customizing LED lighting. Through the Bond Home app and Firefly Pixel or Aura controllers connected to LED strips, users can match the lighting to a season, setting, color, pattern, animation, or other desired effect, all by inputting a simple text or voice prompt.
Shared Access for the Bond Home App
Bond has introduced multi-user capabilities for the Bond Home app, giving dealers a more secure, convenient way to support customers. Shared Access allows dealers to create a customer’s Bond account on their own smartphone, transfer ownership to the homeowner, and retain access as needed for service and support. The feature eliminates password sharing during setup and helps limit unwanted account access. Customers also can manage multiple homes from one account.
Powered Showroom Display Kit
Bond is strengthening its dealer partnerships with a live, interactive display kit that lets dealers show homeowners the full lifestyle experience. Dealers can use Bond devices to demonstrate a wide range of scenarios, for example, how a pergola looks when illuminated, how its motorized louvers are controlled, and how LED strips can be adjusted to set the mood. The kit includes the Bond Bridge Pro, Sidekick for Shades keypad, Mate Pro smart universal remote, Breeze Pro wind/rain/sunlight sensor, and Firefly Aura and Pixel lighting controllers.
