Specify IP of Bond Hub

My Bond hub is on a different vlan than my HE hub, so it won't get discovered using the built-in Bond app. Can we get the option added to specify the IP of the Bond hub?

Could try adding the subnet to the hub's list:

http://<hubIpAddress>/hub/allowSubnets?<124.124.124.0>,<123.123.123.0>

Ok thanks I'll give that a try

The issue at hand is that Bond discovery uses multicast. So your choices are to either put your Hubitat and Bond hub in the same subnet, or pass multicast between those two subnets.

Adding to the above, I don't believe this is a likely outcome from use of the allowedSubnets endpoint, despite some advice that occasionally gets repeated here for that kind of thing. It's really about external access to the hub (e.g., port forwarding from the Internet — almost never a good idea, and precisely why explicitly needing to allow something is now the default behavior). Private/internal IP addresses are always allowed, and this won't help with multicast.
