bond-async
Asynchronous Python wrapper library over Bond Local API
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you own a Bond hub and need async control over its devices in a Python application. The library is straightforward, has low install friction, and carries no known vulnerabilities. However, be aware that maintenance is aging—last release was 2023-07-13—so if your Bond hub firmware has advanced significantly since then, you may encounter compatibility gaps or missing features. Test against your specific hub before relying on it in production.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a Bond home automation hub on the local network and a valid API token.
- Low friction to install.
- Maintenance is aging—last release was 2023-07-13 and the repository has not been updated since 2026-01-28, though it remains unarchived.

What it is and what it does
bond-async is an async-first Python client for controlling Bond home automation hubs over their local API. It wraps HTTP calls to the Bond Local API in asyncio-compatible methods, letting you query device state, fetch properties, and send control actions (turn on/off, set speed, etc.) without blocking. The library uses aiohttp for HTTP transport and orjson for JSON parsing.
It's designed for developers building local-network automation scripts or integrations where you control smart home devices—fans, lights, blinds—through a Bond hub on your home network. The async design makes it practical to manage multiple devices concurrently. The package is stable but aging: last updated in mid-2023, so it may lag behind new Bond hub features or firmware changes.
Use it for
- Build a local automation script that queries and controls multiple Bond devices concurrently without blocking.
- Integrate Bond device control into a larger async home automation framework or coordinator.
- Fetch device state and properties on demand to display in a custom dashboard or monitoring tool.
- Send timed or conditional actions to Bond devices in an async event loop.

Before you install
Low friction to install. Maintenance is aging—last release was 2023-07-13 and the repository has not been updated since 2026-01-28, though it remains unarchived. Depends on orjson and aiohttp, both stable libraries.
Requires a Bond home automation hub on the local network and a valid API token.
