  1. Dev version -> alpha release -> beta release (to select users) -> production release.
  2. ... or get a Bond hub for all these different motor/fan RF remotes.
  3. For the range tests with the Bond Pro, I used the local API with Network Resources. I would have added the Bond local API to my Node JS server and replace the Somfy MyLinks, but we sold the house before I got the chance.
  4. I'd recommend the Bond (Pro) bridge for RTS motors - hands down. Range was enough for ~60 ft in a single-story house from one end of the house to the other. It would most likely reach further. Note: I have no first-hand experience with the Z-Wave motors.
  5. The closest thing to a "standard" bridge device for window treatments (and ceiling fans) is the Bond Bridge. Contact Bond about compatibility with the shades or blinds you are considering by providing the FCC ID of the receiver. I know they support the RTS Somfy motors as well as other motor brands. If the motor has an RF remote, there is a good chance that Bond will be able to control it and with better range than the original remotes. P.S. I have no affiliation with Bond. Just speaking from firsthand experience after testing a Bond Pro bridge against solutions provided by Somfy and other manufacturers.
  6. Replace the non-GFCI breaker with a GFCI breaker. You also need to ensure that the floor covering temperature does not exceed the covering-specific maximum temperature, e.g. 82 F for anything but tiles/stone (104 F). This requires a floor sensor embedded in the heater substrate. There aren't many thermostats that have inputs for floor temperature probes.
