Turn off WiFi radio on Flic Hub LR

I have my Flic Hub LR connected via ethernet switch. I'd like to turn off the hub's WiFi radio to reduce WiFi signals. Can a new setting be added to the hub settings screen to turn off the Wifi radio on the hub?

Flic Hub
Third method of controlling lights

I have three dimmable light controllers for the back room of my house:
Kitchen downlighters Dining room downlighters Dining room pendant
All three have their own momentary switch in a single-gang faceplate, though I generally use voice commands via my Echo Show.

My partner, though, has great difficulty getting any of the four Echo devices in the house to understand any commands... and my seven-year-old granddaughter cannot reach the switches... Enter my Flic 2!

I have a Flic set low enough for the granddaughter to easily reach. A single click turns on all three sets of lights and double turns off all three sets of lights.

The granddaughter has no problem, though my partner still yells and swears at Alexa! 😖

Integration seems to be the weak link

I really like the Flic concept; however, what I, and I believe many others need is to see practical integration with the likes of Home Assistant.

One post here: https://community.flic.io/post/20502 describes the issue well... speed and responsiveness.

The answer from support? Route via IFTTT.

As we all know, IFTTT is a paid-for service, so not readily available, and the number of IFTTT projects is limited by the amount of money paid.

With a single Flic button costing around £25, it's unrealistic to add buttons and IFTTT subscriptions for relatively simple functions (click and double click toggles)

Energy is spent on making farting sounds, vibrating the phone etc. but the focus should be on the wider use.

When I asked about direct integration (https://community.flic.io/post/20553) the response was to use an internet request... This is crazy and, possibly, beyond the typical home user.

Please prioritise this...

Release of MQTT client

After getting a lot of requests about it, we now provide an MQTT client for the Hub SDK. This enables easy integration in your existing MQTT system and fast communication according to this well-known standard protocol. Additionally, this allows bidirectional communication with the hub. You now can trigger functions on the hub not only locally with your buttons, but also remotely from your MQTT system.
So go ahead, install it, configure your own MQTT client and tell us what exciting things you use it for!

@oscar Hi!
Sorry to hear this. Yes, the pairing dialogue not showing up is the issue here but we are not quite sure what causes this.

Could you please try the following procedure and see if it fixes your issue:

Go to System Settings -> Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth off and then back.
Remove any Flic device in the list if there are a.

Go to System Settings -> Security & Integrity -> Integrity
In the left pane, select Bluetooth.
Make sure Flic is in the list and has a checkmark.
If Flic already has a checkmark, uncheck it and re-check it again.

Please let me know if this worked for you!

Kind regards
Flic Hub

If you don't configure WiFi on the hub, it should not emit any WiFi signals as far as I know... Do you see something different?
