Bond Bridge

Integrating the Bond Bridge with the Loxone Miniserver makes it possible to control and automate RF- and IR-controlled devices.

1. Bond App

Add all your devices and make sure you can control them using the Bond app.

Find Local Token

1. Click on your Bond Bridge under My Bonds. 2. Click on Advanced Settings. 3. Note the Local Token.

Find Device ID

1. Click on a device. 2. Click on the settings icon in the top right corner. 3. Note the Device ID.

Network Settings Either use the hostname:

- Use the serial number of the Bond Bridge (found in the App or on the back of the Bridge, e.g. ZZBL12345) as the hostname. No IP settings are needed in this case, but make sure that mDNS is enabled and working in your network.

Or assign a static IP address:

- Click on your Bond Bridge under My Bonds. - Click on Advanced Settings. - Click on Network Info. - Click on Advanced Network Settings. - Assign a static IP address.

2. Loxone Config

Replace the HOSTNAME_OR_IP_ADDRESS in the Virtual Output of the template with the hostname (serial number, e.g. ZZBL12345) or static IP address of the Bond Bridge. Replace the LOCAL_TOKEN and the DEVICE_ID in the Virtual Output Command of the template with the ones copied from the Bond app.

Example

Hostname: ZZBL12345 (serial number Bond Bridge) Local Token: d4c3b2a11a2b3c4d Device ID: 1a2b3c4dd4c3b2a1

Notes

The Config example file in additional downloads also includes the Bond Push UDP Protocol (BPUP), which is used to update the current status of e.g. shades.

The template contains virtual outputs to control shades, fans, fireplaces, and generic devices. The attached Config file includes examples of possible actions and programming for a ceiling fan and shades.

To find the full list of actions supported by a device, use the following command (using e.g. Postman or cURL): Method GET URL http://HOSTNAME/v2/devices/DEVICE_ID Body {"_token":"LOCAL_TOKEN"} You will receive device details, icluding the supported actions. These can also be used in the Virtual Output Command using the same method as described above.
