Was perusing some of the docs for the Bond Local API for an unrelated reason, and noticed that it supports general endpoints for Scan and Transmit which is a hugely powerful functionality! (Bond Local API)
I’m curious if anyone else would be excited at the proposition of being able to create a HA service using the new service response functionality so you could make generic Scan and Transmit calls using the Bond hub without having to set up specific devices in the app at all. It seems like this unlocks the platform in a HUGE way so one could for example:
- Create templated devices/entities that support arbitrary OOK or GFSK encoded RF transmissions
- Same as above, except also including arbitrary IR remotes as well
- Scan on an automated basis to detect new devices in the area and flag them if they might be integratable with HA
- Add entirely new devices using the Bond hub that aren’t supported by Bond upstream at all
If so, I’d be down to work with someone/the Bond folks to get upstream support for those endpoints in the bond-async python library we’re using so we could integrate them directly as HA services.
