SkyCo’s SmartLink Pro, Powered by Bond

Leading our CEDIA showcase is the debut of SmartLink Pro, a compact, powerful hardware interface developed in partnership with Bond, an industry leader in smart home connectivity. Bond’s innovative control ecosystem aligns seamlessly with Skyco’s mission to deliver intuitive, high-performance systems that maximize range and operate with exceptional efficiency in both residential and commercial applications.

SmartLink Pro enables native Smart by Bond (SBB) protocol across Skyco’s complete line of motorized shading systems, providing:

  • Bidirectional communication
  • Real-time data point capture
  • Effortless third-party system integration

SmartLink Pro ensures seamless compatibility with leading platforms like Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Control4, Crestron, Savant, Josh.ai, SmartThings, URC, RTI, Homebridge, Hubitat, and more, all to make Skyco shades easier than ever to integrate into the connected environments your clients demand.

A Complete Motor Program Redesign

To meet the evolving needs of integrators, architects, and end-users, Skyco has completely reimagined our motor lineup. The result is a smarter, more adaptable shading platform with features including:

  • Native Smart by Bond compatibility
  • Redesigned motor heads, quick-connect shafts, and simplified wiring
  • Broad protocol support for Zigbee, contact closure, and standard RF
  • Over-the-air (OTA) updates for future enhancements and optimizations

These upgrades mean faster installations, greater project flexibility, reduced inventory complexity, and a smoother experience from start to finish. For both homeowners and commercial clients, it means more reliable performance, cleaner integration, and a future-ready shading system that’s built to last.

Unrivaled Support for a Premium Experience

Skyco is committed to delivering a new level of post-installation support for professional integrators, ensuring seamless experiences and minimized downtime. Our service-forward approach is designed to streamline workflows, simplify troubleshooting, and provide the insights you need to deliver premium experiences to your clients. With our dedicated support, you can focus on what you do best, knowing that our team has your back every step of the way.

Shade Commissioning Made Smarter

Skyco makes installation and commissioning fast and free of frustrations with flexible setup options that match your workflow. Whether you’re using standard RF, Bluetooth via the Skyco app, or the Bond Bridge Pro, the commissioning process is consistent, reliable, and designed for speed. Whether you’re automating a single room or an entire commercial building, Skyco is here to make your life easier.

Pair that with compatibility with Modern Atomics power distribution units, and Skyco gives you centralized control and power with a cleaner, more scalable infrastructure.
