Getting error "Unable to find Bond for IP Address" with proper IP address and Bond Token configured

[rajiviyengar]

I am facing the same error with my bond "Unable to find bond for IP address." I also copy and pasted the token to avoid mistyping. The bond bridge is set up using a static IP on my router. Pinging the bond is successful and bond is functioning normally via the app. Downgrading to version 3.2.9 did not solve the issue.

Glad to see I’m not the only one. I can even ping the IP address from the homebridge terminal and get a response back, but the plug-in for some reason is not able to recognize that the static IP is a Bond bridge.

Any guidance here or tests I should try? I’d like the keep the bond bridge but may send it back if I can’t solve this.

The bond bridge and homebridge plugin were working perfect for the past year. The error only started after my raspberry pi got corrupted, and I reinstalled homebridge and Raspbian.

I dug into the API documentation and ran some of the commands from the terminal within homebridge itself. Maybe some of this is useful for troubleshooting? I've redacted a few details for privacy.

It seems I can perform all of the basic API calls directly from homebridge, so it's odd that the bond plugin can't seem to recognize the device I'm pinging.

Unlike @rajiviyengar, I've just purchased the bond device and have never actually got this work yet.

I am unsure if this is related, but I am also unable to configure Siri Shortcuts for some reason. If I configure the bond bridge with a ceiling fan, and configure a Siri shortcut for 1 of the commands, then attempt to run the shortcut from the shortcuts app, I get an error. This seems to happen for every control I've tried on my ceiling fan (3-speed, 1 light)

The operation couldn't be complete. (iOS_BondSD-K.BondResponseError error 1.)

Same issue here as well.

Multiple times per day, I need to reboot home bridge because any bond items in HomeKit stop working. When I check the log, it always shows the below. When I reboot, it fixes it 1/2 the time. Sometimes a 2nd reboot is necessary. When I check the bond app, the bond is available and I can control the devices from within Bond. I have the IP address of the device fixed for the bond. Thoughts?

Unable to find Bond for IP Address: 192.168.1.50. Skipping this Bond.

I think the issue with this is the Bond itself. Anytime the Home app doesn't work, I check the Bond app and it says it is Syncing....

If it gets out of Syncing status, and if I reboot Homebridge, it all works again. It just wont stay in Connected status.

[rajohn96]

anyone made any progress on this? I see that the axios version included here is quite a bit behind the current release. As the error stems there maybe updating that component would solve it?

I have the same issue:
[4/19/2023, 4:15:31 PM] [Bond] Unable to find Bond for IP Address: x.x.x.x. Skipping this Bond.
[4/19/2023, 4:15:31 PM] [Bond] No valid Bonds available.
Also bond bridge shows 'status: syncing...' continuously in the bond app.

noticing this too, device is online and connected via app, pulling the IP and Token from the app and Homebridge reports the following each time, despite the host pinging the IP.

[patrickoleary1977]

I personally think it’s an issue with Bond. Even without Homebridge, I can’t get it to work now. On Jun 1, 2023, at 2:30 PM, 88gts ***@***.***> wrote: noticing this too, device is online and connected via app, pulling the IP and Token from the app and Homebridge reports the following each time, despite the host pinging the IP.

Well, I am coming here to report the same issue. Seems that there hasn't been a solution (sigh) but reviving this thread in case someone has it figured out.

[88gts]

it is working for me, i noticed that the device needs to be online and powered up before Homebridge initializes it.

Can you be a little more specific. Also, I am not any kind of expert so go slow.

[88gts]

your bond unit must have power and be online through the app when Homebridge starts up.

Thanks. I've had the bond powered and online each time and still no joy. Sigh. Anyway, let me paste my config file in case someone sees an error. FYI, I have redacted a few characters here and there.

{
"bonds": [
{
"ip_address": "192.1XX.4.XX8",
"token": "7XXXX947aXXXX2cd"
}
],

},

}

I think I may have fixed the problem, which stems from:

• retry logic not functioning
• timeout kicking in

#252

Curious to know if this is working for anyone else, it seems to have fixed my system.

[aarons22]

I published the fix from @dxdc into a beta release - https://github.com/aarons22/homebridge-bond/releases/tag/3.2.11-beta.1

I can't verify it myself, so if there is anyone here who can, that would be great :)

[y0m1g]

I faced this issue today (on 3.2.10); upgraded to 3.2.11-beta.2 and it's working fine again now! :)
