Ok, i think i'll ask my last question- no, my question does NOT make sense!

Slowly learning matter, and it looks like the Matter device must support "multi-admin" mode (which, allegedly, virtually all Matter certified devices do).

Next, I need another Matter Controller / Hub. Seems like there's a million options out there.

Then- since my Flic hub now "owns" my matter devices- I need to "Share" the Matter device from the Flic Hub.

I can then commission the device on the additional Matter controller and control the device via either a FLIC button or another Matter device managed by this <future> second hub.

At least that's what I think needs to happen right now. Maybe after some more research I'll change my tune yet again!!

@Emil This is getting ridiculous. The problem still has not been resolved and your support email team are NOT replying me.

If this product DOES NOT WORK OVERSEAS the. you should not be promoting it outside of the regions without proper testing.

This is not a cheap product and have been patiently waiting for the team to work with me to get this working for a year now. If there is NO INTENTION for this to work outside of the US via Alexa then this should be highlighted or else this is FALSE MARKETING.

To all users considering buying this for use (at least in Japan). This product DOES NOT WORK with Alexa.

@buckyswider Hi @Emil ! So I installed that beta Matter code on my Leviton plugs and switches...and VIOLA! They are now all advertising the proper tcp service all the time. (At least for the first 24 hours or so). So it seems like we are good. Presumably now the FLIC hub will never show these as "offline" again. Thanks for your counseling!

I do have another Matter related question that came up dealing with Leviton support. But I don't want to be guilty of "thread drift", so I'll start a new thread.

Thanks again!

@pianosimon Hi! Are you using Flic Universal or the Flic app for macOS?

@djadin14 maybe you got a defect unit. You should contact support at https://flic.io/support and see if you are eligible for a replacement.

@kerry-thacher Hi!

Unfortunately, no. At least not from what we have found.

You can use the "alternative keymap" in the Universal Keyboard action to prevent the on-screen keyboard from hiding while the Flic is connected, however, this also limits what we can do with keyboard commands.

(Note that you need to "Forget" the Flic from iOS Bluetooth device list if you change the keymap for it to have effect).

So Apple requires the device to identify as a keyboard to be able to do certain things, like trigger system wide keyboard commands (which is what this video suggests as a trigger for Shortcuts), and this enforces the behaviour that the on screen keyboard disappears.

Sorry about this, it would certainly be a neat feature to be able to trigger iOS Shortcuts without affecting the on screen keyboard.

@j that is the simplest way to get automatic access to your flows. You can probably set up your manual web hooks if you want, using the http request action, but you need to manually enter the url.

@gabrielmgrossman Please file your issue to https://flic.io/support.

@Emil I believe the groups that you speak of are the lower g groups. Yes, they are dynamic and can change fairly easily (too easily imo) and I think that's why Sonos now has Groups (upper G). In the Sonos app you can create a Group, give it a name, and select the speakers/rooms that you want assigned to that Group. Then when you go to play music, instead of selecting specific speaker/rooms you can select the Group. For example, I have groups named Inside and Outside. The speaker/rooms in those Groups remain the same regardless of how I might dynamically change them throughout the day. But sometimes I might only want music in the Office or Den, which I might dynamically connect as a group. So it seems the question is whether or not Sonos exposes these Groups in their API? And can you send a play command to a Group? Or simply a "player"? I don't know.

@Emil the Sonos API method: https://docs.sonos.com/reference/favorites-getfavorites-householdid

@beachb_sl Hey, curious if you could describe in more detail the type of light/color feedback that you're looking for?

My buttons do have visual feedback. If I click a button that has not been paired the light shows red. If I click a button that has been paired but is not within range of my hub the light shows as yellow/orange. And when the button successfully passes along the click action it blinks green.

@Emil Ah sorry realised I was under the apps settings and not the flic button itself!! Working perfectly and exactly what I had hoped! Thank you.
