Bond has expanded its platform’s outdoor device control capabilities with the launch of the Firefly Aura and Pixel RGBWC (Red, Green, Blue, White, Cool) LED lighting strip controllers. These 12/24VDC in-line Bond-native smart controllers enable users to leverage Bond’s smartphone App, Sidekick for Shades wireless keypad, and Mate Pro outdoor remote to fine-tune common and addressable lighting strips.
LED lighting strips are commonly used to bring ambiance to structures such as pergolas. Operating in the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi range, Firefly Aura and Pixel bring high-quality color adjustment capabilities to RGBWC LED strips up to 100 watts. Users can adjust hue, saturation, preset colors, and more. Aura can manage a single zone of common lights (PWM 6 wires) whereas Pixel can manage multiple zones of addressable lights. These adjustments can also be made via voice control through the Bond Home App’s integration with virtual assistant platforms like Amazon Alexa, Google, and Josh.ai. And if paired with the Bond Bridge Pro RF-to-Wi-Fi gateway, Aura and Pixel integrate with home automation systems.
Bond’s First Indoor and Outdoor Dealer Showroom Display Kits
In response to dealer requests, Bond has created indoor and outdoor showroom display kits ideal for use in showrooms or on the road. The indoor kit consists of the Bond Bridge Pro, Sidekick for Shades Gen5 on-wall wireless keypad, and Mate Pro smart universal hand-held remote control. The outdoor kit includes these and adds Bond’s Breeze Pro ultrasonic wind/rain/sunlight sensor and new Firefly Pixel and Aura lighting controllers. Each of the kits can be powered-up for live demonstration of the different control devices. The kits will be previewed at International Window Coverings Expo 2026.
