This seems to be a quite known bug in Homekit. If you see the Flic wobble inside the Home app, then we have successfully delivered the event to Homekit and there is not anything more we can do at that point. If the action at this point fails to execute inside Homekit, I suggest you to go to Apple's support and tell them about this issue.

@Emil I found the error, and I'm not sure if I will admit it... But I had an old RPI running that I tested some flic buttons on some years ago (first release). Maybe I should clean up what I have running on my network...

Usually you assign the actions directly under the specific button. If you want to use Tasks, you can add a Task as an action under a button.

It says that the Twist is powered by 2x AAA in the blurb somewhere.

Great idea! Submit a support ticket.... 🙂

@Emil - Thanks! I'll keep my eyes open. I love the product.

I have the same issue.

I'm having the same issue. Had to re-enable the skill after a very annoying debug session. This does not happen with other smart skills that I have.
Can someone please resolve this? This seems quite basic and should not happen.

@Emil i added a request

Update on this:
I managed to create a workaround by using autohotkey program and creating a script:

if WinExist("Zoom Meeting")
{
WinActivate ; Use the window found by WinExist.
Send, !a
return
}
else
{
MsgBox, "Zoom Meeting" not open.
}

I turned that script to executable with autohotkey tools, created a short cut with hotkeys [ctr] + [alt] + [z].

Then configured my flic to send [ctr] + [alt] + [z] command.

Now finally I can toggle mute zoom call even when focus is on for example on a excel or browser.

@Emil I know ! but on android does't work......

Hi,

I had this requirement and solved it by linking Zapier (Free account) (5 Zap limit I believe so if you need more perhaps not the right email option) and then using a service called Firetext (UK based) to deliver the text messages.

And yes it works 👍 .

You will need to pay for credits (the first 25 are free) £20 for 500 so depending on what you want this combination, as a way of using a flic button as an alert service, it works well.

However!! Zapier is not instant so if anyone knows of a service that will email instantly I would be interested (I will keep looking).

The reason I mention the delay is for those who are looking for a Panic Button Solution as the above combination can take between 30 seconds and a few (less than 5) minutes to deliver the text, the delay is with the Zapier free account, unfortunately. 😞

But if you need an alert as an email/text this workaround/combination is by far the simplest/cheapest I have found and it works :).

Hope that's helpful for someone.

regards
Paul.

Same experience with flic2.. so hard to open and change battery.. what’s the trick?

Hi. I don't really understand your problem.

Nowadays, you can set the button to operate in HID mode. In the Flic app, add a Keyboard Command action under Universal Actions.
