Which Bond shade remotes and sensors should I buy?

Bond's shade accessories are the Sidekick for Shades keypad, the Mate Pro remote and the Breeze Pro Gen 2 weather sensor.

The Sidekick and the Mate Pro pair directly with shade motors from many brands over RF. The Mate Pro works without a bridge, and the Sidekick reports shade state to a Bond Bridge Pro. The Breeze Pro Gen 2 senses wind, rain and sunlight and triggers a Bond Bridge Pro.
