I just purchased a bond home wifi controller for a fan and light so I'm now able to through Alexa and Bond Home App control light with fan and light. My question is can I add the fan and light to my devices through hubitat so I can setup with rules to do what I need? I have tried to search for this answer but can't find it. Thanks.
It's a little hidden as there isn't a "Release" thread, but info is at the link above for the Bond integration.

Sorry there is so much there and not a lot of basic instructions for myself which makes it pretty difficult. The last post you helped with pictures was excellent 
Not sure you are willing to help in that way?

Main GitHub page for Bond integration app and drivers: GitHub - dcmeglio/hubitat-bond: BOND Home Integration for Hubitat
Apps page: hubitat-bond/apps at master · dcmeglio/hubitat-bond · GitHub
Go to the apps page and right-click on the Bond app link and copy the address:
Go to the Apps Code section in Hubitat:
Click on New App
Click on Import
Paste the Bond app URL you copied into the field:
Click on Import and then click on Save to save the app.
Then you go to the Drivers Code section in HE and do the same for all of the drivers on the Bond integration Drivers page: hubitat-bond/drivers at master · dcmeglio/hubitat-bond · GitHub
Right click, copy link, Then in Drivers Code section in HE click on New Driver, Import, paste the URL and then Import and save each driver. Just like you did for the app, but in the Drivers Code section of HE.
Now you have the Bond app and all the drivers installed.
Go to the Bond app on your phone. Get your Bond hub IP address and your local access token.
Click on your Bond bridge in the Bond app:
Tap on Network Info to get your IP, and your bond token is lower down on the screen. You’ll need to enter both of those into the Bond app you just installed on HE.
Go to the Bond app in the Apps section on HE, enter your Bond Bridge IP and token, and complete the steps in the app to enable control of your fans.
Select the fans you want to control from the Devices list and select Next, and then select Done.
Now go to the Devices section on your hub and you should see your fans and can now control them via HE.

You are the man!!!!! I just got it setup. I was looking for a way to setup each fan with a single switch and this BOND HOME works excellent with seperate controls for fan and light. On the instructions the only issue I ran into was while using the Chrome browser I was unable to import code from website by copying URL. I was able to get around that by clicking on RAW and copying that directly into Apps and Driver code. I would like to start working on my dashboard to make it more user friendly but still another fan controller to install!!!
Interesting...yes, it's failing for me as well. I have used the import option in the past, so no idea why it's failing.
@bobbyD - any reason why Import isn't working on Chrome? I tried another github and it also fails. I swear I've used Import to installd apps/drivers previously, but maybe I am going a bit mad?
I get this warning when I try to import even when there isn't any code in the editor, and I've cleared browser cache for the past 24 hours, didn't help. Then I tried clearing cache four weeks back and I could import code once, but then it started failing again, even if I cleared the cache again...seems like Import is not playing well w/Chrome.
Glad to know it's not me haha!!!! Any suggestions you might have on Dashboard support or setup that I can start with. I currently have 42 devices...
Look up:
Smartly - amazing options but requires some config
Hubitat Dashboard app (simpler Android app option, less configurable but very nice - my wife's preferred interface)
Brilliant!
Now I only wish there were support for fans in Scenes, so I could control my fan speed from there, but there's always Rule Machine.
Hi I'm very new to hubitat. I've done all the steps to get bond connected with HE but every time I try set the app up I get an error.
I have to idea on writing code or changing code but any help would be much appreciated.
The error says
Unexpected Error
An unexpected error has occurred trying to load the app. Check Logs for more information.
Error: No signature of method: org.apache.http.conn.ConnectTimeoutException.getResponse() is applicable for argument types: () values: [] Possible solutions: getMessage()
Then when I check the logs it says
[error]://192.168.1.57/installedapp/configure/37)groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: org.apache.http.conn.ConnectTimeoutException.getResponse() is applicable for argument types: () values: [] Possible solutions: getMessage() on line 195 (prefListDevices)
Best if you post this here...
Thanks, will do.
So I am extremely new to Hubitat but I was with smartthings for a few years, and for some reason after i have pasted the code in for the new app it looks like it is successful, but when I go to my apps section in Hubitat I dont see the Bond integration app in the list of apps I have. Any idea what Im doing wrong? I have also installed all device drivers as well.
When you say it is not in the list, do you mean what is displayed when you first open the apps page? If so, you need to click on Add User App I think it is at the top right of the screen.

Actually, forgot to mention HPM, but I'll come back to that....
I think the answer to your question is no... For apps like Bond that you typically install once, the process is essentially what you just did, load all the code and then install the app. For those apps (or drivers) where you may install multiple copies, you only need to load the code once and then install as many times as you like.
For that first part of the process, loading the code, there is a nother Community app that makes that much easier, it's called Hubitat Package Manager. I'd suggest installing that. It allows you to search for apps and drivers, install them in one click and manage automatic updates.
Hope this helps..

No worries, think I got that slightly wrong, at least in terms of answering your question. My description is right, but the answer to your question was yes, you need to use Add User App
one more thing, the child apps are also just installed in the new app section correct? Im used to having to install the main app and publish for smartthings then add the code for child app but not publish it lol there isnt anything like that in hubitat? and im guessing the drivers section is the equivalent of device handlers?
I'm not familiar with smarttings myself, but in HE the code all needs to be loaded in the same way through the drivers / apps code or using HPM, regardless of whether it is a parent or child. When it comes to installing, you just need to install the parent using the process described above, the add user app, then any child apps or devices are handled inside the app, either by the app detecting something and creating the children automatically, like Bond detecting the devices on your bridge (not child apps I know), or by allowing the user to create them through some choices inside the app, such as adding a new rule in rule machine.
