  I have an issue with one button not working with the hub and could only get 5 feet away with clear line of site. I've since configured 8 other buttons and they work through walls about 50ft. Try another button, if you have it.

  Hi!

  what is the progress made on the topic? I would be highly interested to run a custom app on the flic hub. Moreover it would be very helpful to have an API available on the hub to enable configuration of the hub without a mobile. Any comments on this?

  This is for Android app, but probably similar in iOs.
  Open 3 dots menu, tap Providers, tap IFTTT, and there it is.

  @oskar

  The link shows the following which is different to the comments you made, is the current link data correct? I want to check for firmware update.

  "When should I do a "user data restore" or a "factory reset" on my Hub?
  If you ever forget your password to the Flic Hub then the only way you can access it again is to push the restore button on the Hub for 1-2 seconds. We hope you don't forget the password as doing a user data restore will wipe all your paired Flic’s and their existing configurations. You will need to therefore reconfigure all these after a restore.

  In case something goes terribly wrong and the Hub is not working properly, you can factory reset the Hub back to default settings. This is achieved by pressing the restore button for 20-25 seconds.
  The difference between this and the "user data restore" is that factory reset will also reset the firmware to version 1.0, so if you were using features added in new updates, you will need to update your Hub in order to use these. The Hub will automatically update itself if it has a Internet connection, but it might take up to 24 hours. If you don’t want to wait, you can connect to the Hub using the Flic app and manually trigger the update, or push the pin hole button between 2-5 seconds to initiate a firmware update. The LED will begin to blink slowly to indicate that it is currently downloading and installing a new firmware version. "

  yes, i have used the Play sound file or play basic sounds on the hub. The updates of the play sound action appear with the new and latest updates. Sometimes while using it creates an issue like iTunes error 5105 which occurs. Sometimes this issue occurs due to the updates issue.

  I have the same problem, I just bought a flic from Amazon for IFTTT and it doesnt work at all. At the moment my flic is just unusable junk. If you cant fix that Ill send it straight to Amazon to get my money back. Good that I didnt bought more flics as initially intended.

  I'd forgotten about this post. I received my Flic Hub quite a while ago and was unable to use it for my whole-house solution of replacing light switches with Flic buttons. For me, it was a complete waste of money, and I'm upset it didn't fit my needs.

  Have there been any updates to the Flic Hub software to allow scaling to the number of Flic buttons and all possible configurations? I actually do use every press state for each button and more.

  Is it possible the range has been improved through a firmware update? My biggest problem from my very first use of the Flic Hub was its extremely limited range compared to various versions of my Raspberry Pis. I'm not sure how 64 devices would be even feasible considering just 1 device would quickly go out of range. It's not that I mean to carry my buttons around the house, just that I'd have to buy about 10 Flic Hubs to cover the area of 4 Raspberry Pis from my initial range testing.

  Hi. If you see the LED blink on the hub when you press a button - that means the hub processes the button click. Philips Hue run on the LAN so it doesn't connect any backend servers or so. One reason it might stop to work is if the Hue bridge changes IP addresses (which is up to your router). You could try give it a static IP address.

  Hi @nadia,

  Thanks for providing this update. Any chance you could share some of the specifics around this? Is it around the way that HomeKit models a button for example and the state around this?

  For me, the FlicHub would also make a great relay for HomeKit devices that use Bluetooth - I have some sensors that communicate like this and they only sync while my phone is close.

  In general is there anywhere to see a roadmap of what you folks are working on?

  Finally just to say that I love using the Flic buttons with the new Hub, it has expanded their use enormously :-)

  Thanks,
  Sam
