    I have a group of lights in Alexa that are from different manufacturers. I can turn on and off the group and set brightness / colour in Alexa.

    How do I set this group to be on the 'brightness' on the twist? I can only use the native brightness command on my Flic with Hue - so how do I tell Alexa I want to dim the group not just turn it on or off?

    I can set 'advanced dimming' on the flick twist to be on at 100% and off at 0% in Alexa and the flic app BUT this doesn't do the bits in between.

    Do I need to set up 'advanced' in push and twist and set each segment at say 10% increments? This can't be right?

    Also- how do I toggle the group on and off on the push of the button on the twist.

    At the moment I have lights on - push lights off double push (via Alexa)

    I'm trying to implement volume support for Wiim devices via a Flic Twist. Wiims present as a generic UPnP media renderer, so sending them volume change commands is pretty trivial from the Twist. What I want to do is get the volume states back from those devices if another application changes their volume. UPnP uses the SUBSCRIBE HTTP verb with a supplied callback endpoint, which in this case is just the Flic Hub IP address. It looks like you guys restrict the specific verbs which we're allowed to specify. If you're able to allow this new verb, we can make a generic app that supports all UPnP media renderers for native volume control.

    Hey Flic community!

    I just released TapShorts on the App Store — it's an iOS app purpose-built to connect your Flic 2 buttons to iOS Shortcuts.

    Why I built this: I wanted a dead-simple, dedicated app for triggering iOS Shortcuts with my Flic 2. I wanted something laser-focused on the Shortcuts integration with a clean UI and curated templates.

    What it does:

    Connect your Flic 2 via Bluetooth Assign any iOS Shortcut to single press, double press, or long press 20+ pre-built shortcut templates across 5 categories (productivity, media, communication, smart home, accessibility) Background execution support Clean SwiftUI interface

    My favorite use case — learning on the go:
    I clip a Flic button to my jacket or bike handlebars while listening to a podcast or audiobook. When I hear a word or concept I don't understand, I single press the button to open AI voice mode, ask my question, learn something new — then double press to continue my podcast/audiobook. No fumbling with my phone, no stopping my run. It's like having a "curiosity button" that lets you learn in the moment without breaking your flow.

    Other use cases:

    Desk: focus timer, music control, DND toggle Bedside: lights, alarm, good night routine Car: send ETA, play playlist, hands-free calling Kitchen: cooking timers, shopping list, recipe podcasts Accessibility: emergency SOS, call caregiver, medication logging

    Free tier: 1 button, single-press shortcuts
    Pro ($1.99/mo): double press + long press actions

    Would love feedback from fellow Flic users. What shortcuts are you running with your buttons?

    Just a heads up, the ChatGPT plugin available in the Studio Hub isn't correctly referencing the Flic JS API Documentation. Had to include the API for ChatGPT to review and assist with some coding checks. Without it, it was providing inaccurate responses.
