Hi,

Any plans on adding this in the future? Seems like bond captures the functionality and I can higher/lower the flame from the bond hub app. Would be nice to see it on homekit as well

11/8/2020, 7:04:38 PM [Bond] Configuring Accessory: Living Room Fireplace
11/8/2020, 7:04:38 PM [Bond] [Fireplace] actions: TurnOn,TurnOff,IncreaseFlame,DecreaseFlame,Stop,TogglePower,SetFlame

Not that familiar with homebridge or coding.

Thanks

Hi @kavakia - Are you thinking this would operate similar to a lightbulb where flame can be controlled with lightbulb brightness? There isn't a Fireplace type in Homekit, so it would likely appear as a dimmable light.

The best I could do here is what the Bond hub app does, which would be to expose two buttons: one for increase flame, one for decrease. Unless Bond starts tracking the state of the flame, I wouldn't be able to expose it as a brightness slider since I will never actually know what the current flame "value" is.

These two buttons would just be switches in HomeKit, since that's the only way to expose these things. I'm already doing something similar for light increase/decrease brightness when state isn't available.

Hi there. First of all, great job ! I bought a bond hub as soon I discovered your homebridge plugin ! (you should ask for rewards ;) ).
I have a fireplace (Jötul) and the on/off works great.
the bond app and my alexa can control the flame, like a dimmer light (but I would prefer the fan speed method 1-2-3).
If this could help, I copy below the payload of the fireplace.

Fell free to ask if you want (beta)testers :)

The bond app (looks like the API does not expose Low-Medium-High flame...)

And the Alexa App (in french.. sorry)

hi @IMNotMax - what would be helpful is if you could enable debug mode and look through the logs for a message starting with "UDP Message received from" after adjusting the flame level in the bond app. That will help me understand how the state of the fireplace changes!

You can also do a CURL request to get the state directly after changing it: http://yyyy.yyy.yyyy.yyyy/v2/devices/17edbe8e/state

Sorry for the delay... didn't see the notification.

Here the curl result before, during and after playing with the up and down button on the bond app

The "flame" value changes (50 was just the ON button)
I noticed the bond bridge does not send every flame step to the fireplace.

Homebridge Debug when playing with Bond app buttons :

(this debug follows exactly the CURL above)

UP BUTTON

[3/20/2021, 10:42:41 PM] [Bond] UDP Message received from yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy:30007 - {"B":"ZZDD35986","t":"devices/17edbe8e/state","i":"050000e33a10210a","f":100,"s":200,"m":0,"x":"bond","b":{"power":1,"light":0,"flame":22,"fpfan_power":0,"fpfan_speed":1,"_":"dc659ba5"}}

And the last CURL (with flame 100 - higher value)

@IMNotMax Thanks for the logs, they were very helpful! I added flame support in 3.2.8. The fireplace is now treated as a light, and the brightness slider should adjust the flame. Please give it a shot and report back with any issues!

Currently updating the plugin. I'm going to test it (even if the fireplace season is going to end soon ;) )
Thank you for this work !

Hi @aarons22 ! dimmer looks et works great on my setup !
But the on/off toggle don't toggle anything... I'm talking about the On/Off switch, not the toggle state button.

Hey @IMNotMax - does dimming to 0 turn off the flame? Also, can you provide some debug logs here?

@IMNotMax

Yes, it does. THat's the way I began to use it. Nice !

I have a similar issue. I can start/stop the flame by moving the dimmer >0% to start it and then back to 0% to stop it. However, I programmed the Bond to have “flame up” and “flame down” buttons, and these don’t seem to be passed through to HomeKit.

I have tried moving the dimmer partially up/down instead, but no signal is sent on those actions. I would be happy keeping on/off as a dimmer in HomeKit and having switches exposed in HomeKit for flame up and for flame down.
