New Plugin - Bond Home

Major rewrite of the plugin. Now updates status from the Bond Home units when devices change outside of Indigo.

Woohoo! This is big news! Looking forward to having real statuses of my fans!

New official release 0.1.2: https://github.com/FlyingDiver/Indigo-B ... /tag/0.1.2

Major rewrite of the plugin. Now updates status from the Bond Home units when devices change outside of Indigo. Also implements an action for setting the repeat count for signals sent from the Bond. Useful for devices in marginal range that need repeats to function, or for devices that require continuous signals (like some shades).

The 0.1.X releases require editing all bond devices to set the appropriate device type. There's only two device types now - the bridge or a client device.

Can you explain a bit more about how to do the device type edit? when I go into my fan, all I get in the second popup is "Bond Relay Device".

Plus this in the log:

The plugin determines the device type by querying the bridge. So all you should do is edit and then save.

Either I'm dumb, something's not right, or both. When I try to edit a device, all I have is:

And there's no other option besides relay device.

Try changing the device type to something else (like X10) then back to Bond.

No change

Seems like things are in a strange state--the bridge device has on off controls and a status. But turning it on or off does nothing and gets no error.

Grrr. Do you remember what version you were running previously? The last store version? I'll have to revert to that, create some devices, and see what happens when I upgrade the plugin again.

It was probably the last store version, but I don't recall. 0.3 something? 0.03?

I could just delete the devices and set them up again. Should probably do the same for the bridge too.

The would be the fastest method. The bridge device didn't change, but it can't hurt. I may try to figure out how to auto-convert the devices, but that's always tricky.

Heh. That controls the blue light on the bridge.

Attempted upgrade of Bond. When I edit a Bond device:

1) I switch to Bond --> Bond Device and
2) press Edit Device Settings.
3) Under the Device drop down, all my account devices show. When I choose one, they all disappear and the drop down becomes an empty list.

I tried restarting the plugin and received errors:

Can you get me a debug level log while you're editing the device?

Just went in to do this and I think the error was solved when I removed the token from the Bond Bridge and then re-added it.

That's weird. Did the token change?

No it didn't change. But when I deleted and saved then added again and saved, the bond bridge device attributes populated.
