I just purchased and setup a Bond Bridge for my shades. Setup and learning of the remote control was simple and straight forward as was adding Bond Home as a SmartThings Connected Service. I would prefer that the Bond Bridge talk directly to my SmartThings hub over my LAN.
I immediately noticed that shades show up in SmartThings as On/Off devices instead of Open/Close devices. I emailed Bond Support and they replied

The SmartThings integration still does not support “Open/Close” commands with shades which is why the commands that are visible to you are only “On/Off.”
I find it hard to believe that the SmartThings API for connected services only supports “On/Off” device types.
Jacob mentioned this issue over a year ago and still no progress.
Very disappointed that that the Bond Bridge has not lived up to my expectations.
