How do you find the response time using HA?

I currently have a few FLIC buttons using Alexa integration to manage lights when we don't feel like talking to Alexa. The initial lag can be a few seconds, which while not horrible isn't instantaneous.

Granted, it does take as long to say "Alexa, turn on the sink light" and have it illuminate as it does to click the button and have the light illuminate. Turning it off and on in the HA dashboard is instantaneous though.

See https://community.flic.io/post/20147.

@flic-v not sure exactly what you did but if you set a custom password through the app, this should override the password on the back.

@oskaremilsson yup. Erm. So.. this is awkward.
The phones BLE scanner must have gotten stuck in some bad state.
A restart of the phone worked 🤦‍♂️

Didn't cross my mind that the issue could be that deep into the system.
As a dev I should've tested that as #1 though 🙃

Thanks, and sorry! 😅

@Emil I don't have Alexa.. here's the device info https://sonoff.tech/product/diy-smart-switch/micro/

@Emil Thanks: whatever you have done seems to have worked. My hub updated successfully to 3.0.9 and Alexa integration now seems to be working.

We have rewritten the Chromecast integration from scratch. We'll send out a new firmware update in the upcoming days. This should fix the isuse.

@theo I think you need to add the http:// prefix to the url.

Hi. Please use https://flic.io/support for support questions.

Everything runs from a read-only system, so i doubt malware has gone into it. Probably just some bug in the widely used Linux OS we run on it if anything.

I would be glad if you could share Wireshark logs or something of the packets you are seeing.

It has a built-in Bluetooth Classic radio inside the wifi chip, but for now we are not using it for anything. Maybe in the future.

I think the easiest would be to just set up a http server on your computer and then use the Internet Request action on the Flic hub. Then your http server can then further make osc requests or whatever when a button event is received.

@anton Hello! I just wanted to update you and let you know that so far, everything you have helped me with on this project has worked quite well. I still don't have any clue how to autostart terminal, but so far it has not been hard to just restart it when I need. What I'm wondering about now is this - I've bought six more flic buttons to add (these will complete what I've planned on the virtual organ), and need to add them to the hub. I've got enough keystrokes left to assign to them, but am now wondering if I need to do anything to the python program to allow it to recognize them and send the internet request. Could you advise? I'm adding to this thread instead of starting a new one, in order for you to place it in context. Thanks! Diane

You can use a tablet also.
