    Introducing plugin for Bond Bridge and Smart By Bond devices. bondhome.io

    Bond Bridge turns most remote-controlled ceiling fans, fireplaces, and shades smart in seconds. There's no complicated installation.

    There's no configuration required. After installing the plugin it should automatically discover the Bond Bridge and all devices configured in the app:

    Note 1: The only requirement is to make sure the devices are setup and configured using Bond mobile app before starting the plugin.

    Note 2: The Bridge must be rebooted within 10 minutes of starting the plugin to provide authorisation token. (doesn't matter before or after starting the plugin). This need to be done only once. If you don't - the Bridge status will be "unauthorised".

    Note 3: For any requests or ideas please post Feature requests for Bond plugin.

    Note 4: If you want to make sure your device will work with the plugin - please provide the printout (as pdf) of the Bridge config page as explained in Feature requests for Bond plugin.

      More notes.

      1. Users are asking what Stop button is for? It kills transmission queue in the device, i.e. if you hold some button for too long and the Bridge keeps sending signal, by using Stop you can clear the queue.

      Also, for devices which have buttons StartIncreaseBrightness / StartDecreaseBrightness - when you press them - they continuously transmit the signal until you press Stop.

      2. Also users ask whay is Bridge.Light HS device? On the Bond Bridge there's a round blue light, using Bridge.Light you can control the brightness of the blue light.

      3. Bond devices have a concept of "Trust State". From Bond documentation:

      A quick description of trust_state by example follows:

      The scenario: the Bond has a "ToggleLight" command, and the Bond believes the light to be on. The user requests the action "LightOn". If the Bond trusts its state, it will do nothing, as the light is already on, and sending a toggle command would turn it off. If, however, the Bond does not trust its state, it will send the toggle, and believe that now it knows the true state of the physical device.

      trust_state set to false is mostly useful if the user intends to use a physical remote together with the Bond and is the default, trust state set to true is mostly useful if the user would like to control their device remotely with complete confidence that what the Bond reports is the device's actual state.

        Configuration.

        1. Normally AKBond plugin should discover the Bridge device automatically. If discovery (aka Zeroconf or mDNS) doesn't work - you can add the Bridge device manually by clicking the "+" button and entering the Bridge IP Address.

        2. Device configuration is quite simple, just a few options:

        a. Update rate - how often the plugin is polling the Bridge for status.
        b. Trust State, see https://olibra.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/...me-application
        c. Log - enable if required for troubleshooting

            Ver. 3.0.0.9 - Added Fireplace support. Implemented properly "Stop" function (for StartDecreasingBrightness, StartIncreasingBrightness, StartDownLightDimmer, StartUpLightDimmer)

            [EDIT] Recommended to delete/recreate all HS devices for this version if your devices have above functions.

                    This supports anything supported by Bond app. Regarding supported devices please ask Bond Home Forum

                      Ver 3.0.0.14 in BETA - I reduced amount of communication during plugin start-up, i.e. when HS devices are created - I don't get their states initially. And during first two minutes the update rate is limited to 10 seconds.

                              Version 3.0.0.24 - Fix for A1a template - I update the UpLight and DownLight device states when the Light state changes. Seems to fix the A1a problem.
