If your blinds also included a remote (RF) like mine a $100 Bond hub solved my blinds issues. Some of my blinds work great with HA and some rode the struggle bus. Hooking Bond to HA and then using it to talk to the blinds solved the issue. I have Smartwings and Powershades.

You would. The Bond bridge will be the thing that fires off RF commands and stores the state of the fans, HomeAssistant will act as a bridge between that and HomeKit.

The problem Hello, I recently updated my bond hub to firmware 3.x from firmware 2.x and the device no longer works in Home Assistant.

The problem When using the Bond integration for a fireplace, the fireplace on/off is created as a light rather than a switch. This results in some implicit behavior intended for lights. As an example, if the devices are bridged to HomeKit, they are turned on and off with all other lights. As a switch, the user would decide to treat the fireplace as a light, switch, or fan, and group it with other climate control devices rather than lights. Many fireplaces also have secondary accent lights and circulation fans, so treating the main fireplace heat source as a "switch" makes the most sense. …

The problem - Solved! See below... Bond bridge (standard round black model, not Pro) worked fine in HA Container for about a month, until latest Bond firmware update to v3.3.13. It then stopped working and was showing a connection error in Settings/Integrations. I refreshed with no success so I removed & attempted to re-add the 'Bond' integration.

Just get anything that is radio remote controlled, and you can use a Bond Home to control all of the radio controlled fans in the house. It works with its own app or integrates with Hubitat, Home Assistant, etc. It will create a device for each fan. It's been great!
