Smart By Bond Local API support

BETA
1

Will Smart By Bond devices support the new local API? If so can someone elaborate how this will work?

2

Yes, Smart By Bond devices expose the same API as Bond Bridges, minus signal-related endpoints and the endpoints under ā€œBridgeā€ in the docs. The device itself is exposed as devices/1.

Thanks Jacob.

Will it still respond to the devices end-point (which i assume will return a single deviceid)

Assuming /sys/version, /v2/token and /v2/devices/deviceID/actions endpoints are all the same

Also is there anything different with the mdns search request? Currently we are querying for _bond._tcp.local

Since we donā€™t have a Smart by Bond device we have to do this integration blind.

Yes it will, and thatā€™s right, the single ID is always 1.

They are. Weā€™re striving to make the API identical to make integrations easy to implement.

Also is there anything different with the mdns search request? Currently we are querying for _bond._tcp.local

Smart by Bond and all Bond Bridges are the same here, as well.

Sorry i meant discovering devices using the /v2/devices endpoint (which i assume returns a single device).

Yeah, it responds in the same way, with a hash and a list device ids and their hashes. In this case, itā€™s a single-element list, and the single device ID is always 1.

Thanks for clarifying jacob. Sounds like we donā€™t need to do anything.

How do we market ā€˜smart by bondā€™ to our customers? Iā€™d like to push them to those products but canā€™t seem to find any information about them anywhere on the internet.
