Olibra, the privately owned company that created Bond Bridge RF-to-WiFi control platform, that its Bond Bridge Pro is now compatible with Loxone, a popular European brand for building and home automation.
The Bond Bridge Pro brings consolidated control to the many motorized window shades, awnings, pergolas, ceiling fans, and gas fireplaces at the home or business. Users manage these from within the Bond Home App (iOS and Android) and/or compatible home automation system. The App brings additional benefits such as scheduling and compatibility with virtual assistance platforms Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, SmartThings Apps and Josh.ai.
The Bond platform is increasingly becoming recognized as a way to control these types of appliances.
Loxone is an Austria-based company that designs, develops, and sells lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), shading, and audio system solutions for the commercial and custom residential channels. Users interface with the Loxone ecosystem via the company’s smartphone app.
The European manufacturer’s engineering team have written a driver that allows for integration of the Bond Bridge Pro into the Loxone ecosystem. The driver becomes available by Loxone beginning February 21, 2024. As the Loxone ecosystem is steeped in energy management, shading, wellness, climate, access and lighting solutions, the compatibility of Bond and Loxone makes for a more enjoyable and energy efficient life within commercial and home environments.
Loxone is established in Europe and has been expanding its presence in the United States. The company’s U.S. office is based near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Beginning April 2024, the home control company will host sales rep and dealer training sessions, with the Bond Bridge Pro added to its training curriculum.
Loxone is the latest automation platform to work with the Bond Bridge Pro, joining Savant, Control4, Crestron, Nice/Elan, RTI, URC, Homebridge, Hubitat, and Apple HomeKit.
