Quick verdict
The Bond Bridge Pro is the easiest way to make existing ceiling fans smart without touching any wiring. It learns RF signals from your existing remotes and exposes them to Home Assistant via a local API. (The Pro is RF-only - choose the standard Bond Bridge if you need IR.) Great for renters or anyone who wants to avoid rewiring.
Standout: Bridges existing RF ceiling fans and devices into your smart home without any rewiring.
