I know that Bond works with Somfy Shades. Is there any chance this add-on could work with those through Bond? If it did, this would be a total game changer for me, as the Somfy ZRTSI is horrible and other alternatives are either hard to obtain or are unavailable in the US.
I have a Somfy awning that can be controlled via HASS thru Bond. It would say it definitely should work for you
Hey! I have the same issue on my setup after 12 hours connection to bond hub stop. I’m moving everything to Smartthing integration for now but would love to come back to local control after this issue gets resolved.
Thank you for this. Just got it working yesterday. Super stable and love the fact that its local.
Props to BOND as well for allowing local comms.
Thanks so much for making this component, it’s working great but I’ve run into a problem: I have 2 Bond bridges in 2 different rooms, I’ve tried a bunch of different ways of adding both to my config and I can only get one bridge to show up at a time. Any clues how I can add both hubs?
I have a 6-speed fan and since HA core only supports 3 speeds, can we add support to set custom speeds when this happens? Thanks
This thread helped me get Bond up and running for my ceiling fans, which are standard 3-speed with cycle dimmers.
Everything works great so far, but still trying to incorporate the dimming. I’m confused because it looks like @MizterB sorted out StartDimmer and it was merged. But I don’t see that service at all in my HA. I can only toggle the light on/off.
Is it still not actually merged, or am I just not understanding how to call that action?
thanks
Fan direction is now supported, and working, in the latest update. Thank you.
Anyone switch from this custom_component to the core integration that came with 114.0 yet? I’m assuming the migration path is to just uninstall the custom component, remove the bond config, and let it auto discover the same entity names? Not going to try it right before/as the wife goes to bed. I get in trouble if the light/fan above the bed doesn’t work. 
I tried but nothing happens when I add the integration it just spins then goes away
You have to remove the bond config from configuration.yaml and if you installed it via HACS you need to remove it there. Reboot HA, then add it back via the Integration flow. It was doing the same thing to me prior to removing it from HACS.
After adding it back, I didn’t have to reconfigure anything futher.
Also. when adding it back via the integration, the flow doesn’t have labels for the fields. The top one is the IP of your bond, the bottom one is the token.
Hope that helps!
Sounds like youve done this, so, do we need to reconfigure all of the entities again? Or will the devices in my Bond Set-up stay the same? I think that if it is removed and then everything else stays the same (on the Bond end of things) everything should be re-created with the same names, so the entity ids wont change. But just looking to confirm before I do it lol.
I didn’t have to reconfigure anything. All of my curl command switches still worked. Although I think you can now convert those to just regular HA switches. I haven’t tried that yet.
In my opinion, this custom_component is superior to the new integration and probably should have been used by the devs. The new one uses the “script” on/off separate lightning icons witch is definitely a step backwards. Not only do they not match 99% of my other lights and switches (with toggles), they allow clicking on either of them in either state. For a fan with a toggle state remote (like mine), this quickly can get the bond out of sync with Home Assistant, even with “trust toggle state” enabled in the Bond app. This effectively kills automations that toggle eg “turn fan light off when I leave” will turn it ON if it is already in an OFF state. Not good.
Just opened a PR on core making the buttons vs switch thing dependent on trust_state. There’s still a lot of thing to implement on the official integration, but I’m tryings to contribute with that
Cool! I think I’m going to go back until the core version matures.
Dimmer support has been merged into the bond-home library, but I have not yet submitted my PR for the HA integration which enables the corresponding services. Unfortunately, I won’t have access to my Bond device for a couple of weeks to test it. Once I do, I’ll get this moving again.

Got it, makes sense. Thanks for the update. Cheers.
I have the same smart by bond Home Depot controller and I’m guessing here but I’d think you’d be able to add a second or more to it. I say this because to add it, you need a specific IP address and token which would be different per controller.
Happy to hear dimmer support is being added. I also vote for more than 3 fan speeds (my fan has 4). Thank you for all your efforts.
