Bond Home Binding

This binding connects the Bond Home (opens new window) Bridge to openHAB using the BOND V2 Local HTTP API (opens new window). You'll need to acquire your Local Token (opens new window). The easiest way is to open the Bond Home app on your mobile device, tap on your bridge device, open the Advanced Settings, and copy it from the Local Token entry.
