Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No real issue, but is there way to have accessories that are grouped in the Home App trigger at the same time? I have 16 blinds which are setup fully in the Bond app and are individual blinds with no more channels to setup grouping at a blind level (16 channel remote is maximum without buying another remote). As such, I have grouped them in the home app which works a treat, but the problem is, they're waiting a brief second or two before the other blind moves. eg Scene A contains Blind X and Blind Y...If I trigger Scene A from the HomeKit app, Blind X moves first, Blind Y moves last. I want to see if there is a way for the Homebridge app to wait until both blinds respond to the Bond bridge and then when response is received, move them at the same time.

Describe the solution you'd like A way for the homebridge application to 'wait' until the accessories that are grouped in the Home App to respond to the Bond Brige before moving.

Describe alternatives you've considered In progress of liasing with Bond themselves if theres a way to group accessories in the Bond App. Cannot seem to find a way to do this currently. If I'm missing something, pls advise.

Additional context N/A

Hi @MattGeale , that would be a Bond Home question rather than a HomeBridge question, because it depends on how your shades communicate at the RF level. I suggest jumping to our forums and @mentioning me (@merck): https://forum.bondhome.io/

[EDIT: I'm not actually Merck the pharma company. That would be awesome. -- Also, please let us know there what kind of shade technology you have. Somfy, Rollease, Dooya, Allen+Roth, etc.]

Hi @chrismerck,

Ok I'll dump the question in Bond Home and attach the additional information requested.

Cheers
