HyPanel + Bond Bridge Pro Integration – Expanding Smart Home Capabilities
🔗 akubela HyPanel Now Integrates with Bond Bridge Pro – Bringing Smart Control to Legacy Devices
In the ever-evolving world of smart homes, interoperability is key. That’s why akubela – a brand under Akuvox, known for its intelligent control panels – has partnered with Bondhome.io to enable full integration between the HyPanel series and the Bond Bridge Pro.
This powerful collaboration now allows homeowners and building managers to control motorized shades, ceiling fans, and other traditional RF/IR devices directly from akubela HyPanel panels and the BelaHome mobile app.
🧠 What is akubela HyPanel?
akubela HyPanel is more than just a smart switch – it’s a multifunctional control hub that combines:
A ZigBee 3.0 gateway
Intercom system
Touch-based wall panel
Environmental sensors
Integration with lighting, HVAC, security, and curtain control
Models like HyPanel Lite, Lux, Pro, Ultra, and Supreme offer various levels of control and aesthetic options for homes, offices, and luxury spaces.
📡 What is Bond Bridge Pro?
The Bond Bridge Pro, by Bondhome.io (Olibra), is a smart bridge that brings intelligence to traditionally “dumb” devices. It allows you to control RF- or IR-based devices — like ceiling fans, motorized shades, fireplaces — via Wi-Fi, voice assistants (Alexa, Google Assistant), or automation platforms like Control4 and SmartThings.
Key specs:
Controls up to 30 devices
Supports both RF (300–450 MHz) and IR
Ethernet & PoE connectivity
Professional-grade, ideal for large homes or villas
🔄 What Does This Integration Offer?
With the latest firmware updates, HyPanel control panels can now discover and operate devices connected via Bond Bridge Pro. That means:
Seamless control of shades and ceiling fans directly from the HyPanel screen or BelaHome app
No need for multiple apps or voice commands
Unified control experience through one interface
Automation scenes with legacy devices (e.g., “Movie Mode” closes the curtains and adjusts fan speed)
🌍 Why This Matters for Kuwait Homes and Properties
In a region like Kuwait where heat, dust, and comfort are key concerns, being able to automate devices like ceiling fans and curtains is both a luxury and a necessity. However, many properties still use non-smart RF devices.
This integration:
Eliminates the need to replace old devices
Provides energy-efficient smart control
Enhances luxury living without extra infrastructure
Ideal for apartments, villas, offices, and high-end developments
🛠️ Requirements for Setup
HyPanel panel with latest software update
A configured Bond Bridge Pro connected to the same network
Devices like shades/fans that use RF or IR remotes
BelaHome app connected to the cloud account
💡 Final Thoughts
The synergy between akubela and Bond Bridge Pro represents a huge leap toward accessible, scalable smart home automation – especially in fast-growing smart cities like Kuwait City, Salmiya, and Al Jahra.
With this integration, users can enjoy a centralized, intuitive interface to control both modern and legacy devices – giving new life to existing hardware and simplifying daily living.
