Excellent thank you. I’m trying to use the Bond Smart Home bridge, but it isn’t automatically recognizing the frequency with a button press. There is, however, a place to manually input the frequency and I’m wondering if it would work with that information.

Manual to the remote says 868MHz. Check your remote for the model number. The remote that shipped with mine is 1GD-868Mn, so I'm presuming it would correspond.

Is there a way to hook this up to an on/off switch on the wall? Or can it only work with the remote?
A shopper
on Apr 20, 2021
BEST ANSWER: I haven't tried these, but I see two options.
1.) You can mount the remote on the wall. I think there might even be a bracket included in the box. (I forget and didn't do this option.)
2.) There is a control box that is hardwired in the middle of the power cord. You could replace the power cord with in-wall rated wiring and mount the control box on the wall. (It's a pretty big box and I don't aesthetically recommend it.)

For the auto stop do I adjust it on the side of the motor or on the bottom two buttons that are red and white? Also when I do make the adjustment does it adjust as I adjust the hex or does it just set it for the next time it goes up or down? Hopefully that makes sense.

on Mar 10, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Limits are set by turning the hex screws with the provided tool. Limits are not set in real-time. You need to make adjustments then operate the mount to verify. Be careful not to overheat the motor by using too much at one time.

Excellent Projector Lift
I spent a considerable time looking for a reasonably priced projector lift. It seemed like this was the absolute cheapest, and most reasonable lift for the money.
However, there's very little information here about the control system for this projector and how it works. The documentation claims that the projector only supports an RF based remote. This is not true. This projector lift uses the 1GD-868MnIII RF controller, which by default only supports the RF remote. There are three buttons (up, down, stop) on the control system. The control system is wired into the motor, and consists of an in-line plastic box with the circuit board shown in the attached picture.
The GRANDVIEW control system supports RS-232, and relay switches for each control system button. Here is the link for the 1GD-868MnIII manual that outlines the control signals and circuit board layout. https://av-visionindia.co.in/brouchers/1GD-868MnIII(RF_Remote_Controller)_1419330583.pdf
I have attached a few pictures from the manual and of the control system I was sent.

It Works Pretty Good, but There Were a Few Issues
We bought this for a gym installation, on the ceiling. We built a heavy duty box around it to protect the projector from stray balls. So far it has worked great, but we just installed it two weeks ago..
I gave this mount 3 stars is for two reasons:
1) If you use the tilt mount for the projector, and have to tilt the projector, there is no way to move everything forward. At the angle I had to tilt the projector to hit the screen, the lip on the decorative ceiling plate cut off part of the projection. I ended up having to cut off the lip in order to get a full screen. If I could have moved the projector forward just a little bit, it would not have been an issue.
2) This system only comes with one remote control and you cannot purchase a second one. Where ours is mounted, there is no way we can easily access the controls on the power cord (it is 25 feet up in the air). If we loose the one remote that came with the mount, we will not be able to use this every again.
