Bond Home Plugin

Version 2022.1.2 has been released, get it in the Plugin Store.

The latest version has much better support for Smart by Bond devices, and uses zeroconf (Bonjour) to discover devices on your network so you don't need to figure out the IP address yourself. It's also been tested with the Bond Pro Bridge.

Thanks Joe!

Working great!!

I'm seeing this error on sending any command from Indigo to a bond device:

Code: Select all

 Bond Home Error                 Error in plugin execution ExecuteAction:

  File "plugin.py", line 358, in actionControlDevice
type: key on_parameter not found in dict


The plugin reports the bridge as up. I think these problems started when I had to reconfigure my whole Unifi router environment... again. But to be clear, the Bond bridge is correctly paired with the environment and has the same old IP address it had before the networking failure.

Edit the device definition and save it again.

Thanks! That fixed it.

I have Open and Close working but not Stop/Hold.
I created an Indigo Action using Send Device Command (Bond Home Actions) for Open & Close and tried same with Stop/Hold but it doesn't work.

What did I miss?

Does it work from the Bond app?

Yes, Open, Close and My/Stop work in the Bond App.

Yes, Open, Close and My/Stop work in the Bond App.

First, use Hold not Stop.

Second, set up the action group to send the command twice, a second apart.

Perfect. Thank You.

There's a way to tell the Bond to send commands multiple times. It's an action. I'm not convinced it works 100% of the time, so for critical things (like my hurricane shutters automatically closing for high wind or heavy rain), I send the command multiple times.

I'm assuming there is no 'status' reporting or whether awning is extended or not?

No, not for learned RF type devices. It's one way communication. Only the "Smart by Bond" devices do that.

Oh well, thought I'd ask to be sure

At least now I can setup an emergency retract based on winds in case we forget to retract when going out.
The awnings wind sensor seemed a bit slow to react the first time it happened. Worried me a bit.

trying to set up a fireplace remote.

device already in bond. setting up in indigo and get the following error when creating the device (I created it once, was seeing the error, deleted the indigo device and this is when I created it the second time)::

Code: Select all

   Bond Home                       new device: Starting bondDevice Device 1622016549
   Bond Home Error                 Error in plugin execution ServerReplacedElem:

  File "/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 2022.2/IndigoPluginHost3.app/Contents/Resources/PlugIns/plugin_base.py", line 1379, in device_updated

  File "plugin.py", line 150, in deviceStartComm
  File "plugin.py", line 197, in do_device_startup
type: ('flame',)



It still creates the device. but every time the plugin reloads I get:

Code: Select all

 Bond Home Error                 exception in device_start_comm(Fireplace): 'flame'

technically it works (turn on and turn off) but the status doesn't seem to change.

I made sure the bond device is running the latest firmware and on the latest bond plugin.

thoughts?
