Hello!

First time posting to the community and have many many questions, but primarily...

I'm looking to set up a Flic Hub and other devices to control things around the house (naturally). I have a Samsung frame tv, and constantly am using the phone app to control the volume of the tv. Is there a product that can work for me here, either the Duo or twist?

I'd additionally set the product to play/pause, and use either the dial on the twist or button and rotate on the duo for volume control.

Thanks for any advice!

I would like to be able to determine if a Flic Duo is on the wall or handheld in FlicScript.

I see there is gesture and orientation (x, y, and z dict) attributes, but I'm not certain exactly what orientation parameters are best to accurately determine if a Flic Duo is currently mounted on the wall.

Is it possible to add a definitive position attribute (or something similar gesture) to know if a Flic Duo is currently on the wall? Or, would it be possible to share the exact orientation conditions that y'all use internally when someone configures an action through the app to determine if the Flic Duo is on the wall or handheld?

I’m working with a Flic 2 button and a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, using the fliclib-linux-hci Git SDK.

I successfully built my own Debian package from the SDK and installed it on the Pi:

Package:
flicd_1.0-1_arm64.deb

The daemon installs and runs correctly. Below is the systemd service I’m using:

cat /etc/systemd/system/flicd.service

[Unit]
Description=Flic Button Daemon
After=bluetooth.target
Requires=bluetooth.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/flicd -f /var/lib/flicd/flic.sqlite3
Restart=always
RestartSec=3
User=root

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Pairing and button events work fine, so communication with the button is confirmed.

Issue

I’m trying to read RSSI (signal strength) from the Flic 2 button, or otherwise estimate distance between the Pi and the button.

I’ve tried multiple code variants (both modifying the SDK and external BLE approaches), but I’m unable to retrieve:

RSSI values

Any distance-related data

It seems like RSSI is either not exposed through the SDK, or not available during normal operation.

Questions

Is RSSI data available at all from Flic 2 via fliclib-linux-hci?

If not, is there an alternative supported way to estimate proximity or distance?

Does the Flic firmware intentionally block RSSI access for power or privacy reasons?

Has anyone successfully retrieved RSSI from a Flic 2 on Linux/Raspberry Pi?

Any guidance, confirmation, or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I had my Matter Bridge commissioned to my Flic hub and all working great,

Accidentally I managed to decommision the bridge from the flic fabric via the iOS Matter settings but it didn't remove from the flic app.

Now I'm in a state where the flic app thinks there is a bridge (and all its associated devices) there but it shows as offline and I can't remove it.

I managed to recommision the Bridge back to flic but now I have a duplicate set of 22 device in my list!

Is there a way I can remove the old bridge from the Flic Hub?
