  I recently got myself the hub, twister button and simple flic2 button. I'm just starting but took a deep dive straight into all the SDK and just now I finally finished implementing pretty much all I ever wanted from buttons and it's just the beginning for me. I'm so excited about the possibilities!!

  I have a very long story on my obssesion for smart stuff but I'll cut it short and say this -

  My simple button - Double tap turns off my house lights between 10pm to 3am (I pull the right time through the internet), so outside those hours I can assign other activities to the button

  My twister button - regular twist controls the volume of my Laptop, press and twist controls my bedroom light and hold button resets the laptop volume. For the volume control I check if my laptop is available, otherwise I can assign other tasks for the button

  This wasn't as easy as it SHOULD have been unfortunately... this is really highly dev skills required but it's doable. I just wish it was much easier to achieve without the amount of code work and integrations I made

  @gianni It appears that alexa skills can only be linked to one account. So you should either use the same flic account for all your flics, or you need to create three amazon accounts and link each to each flic account.

  I got fed up with the way that Apple and the BBC refuse to play nice. I want to stream BBC radio stations through my HomePod. So I set up a flic to auto stream the radio from my mac to the HomePod. The steps are:

  Open the BBC radio station URL in Music (e.g. itls://as-hls-ww-live.akamaized.net/pool_904/live/ww/bbc_radio_two/bbc_radio_two.isml/bbc_radio_two-audio=320000.m3u8) and add it to a playlist (e.g. "BBC Radio 2") Create a folder within plugins called PlayRadio2. Within that folder create an AppleScript called Radio2.scpt tell application "Music" play playlist "BBC Radio 2" set airPlayDevices to (get name of AirPlay devices) --returns a list of names set current AirPlay devices to AirPlay device (item 2 of airPlayDevices) --sets device to item 2 of list end tell Also create a config.json file containing { "pluginName": "Radio2", "pluginDescription": "Starts Playing Radio 2 and streams to HomePod Mini", "protocolVersion": 1, "actions": [ { "actionName": "PlayRadio2", "fileName": "Radio2.scpt" } ] } Reload plugins and off you go...

  Hello,

  Same problem here with the "Get contents of URL" action, works when tested via the Home app but not with the actual flic button. Was working fine before 18.2.
