@liam_swan89 Our SmartThings integration works in the way that it fetches the scenes from SmartThings. You can then trigger these scenes from Flic (or Flic Twist) over the cloud.

For Flic Twist, you can trigger such scenes either by its push button, or using the "Action" feature which means a specific scene is triggered when the twist is rotated to a certain position.

@jochemr That "Flic App" plugin in Homey is not an official one by us. It appears to simply set up a web hook which can then be triggered as a normal http request.

We already have our own Homey integration directly inside the Flic app which is able to execute scenes/flows in a Homey, by authenticating the Homey user inside the Flic app.

If you have a Flic hub, then clicking the button will still work if the person with the phone leaves the house.

Currently, there is no good way to connect a Flic button directly to the Homey device. We did some attempts some time ago together with Homey but their Bluetooth stack was not good enough to handle triggering devices.

@Emil Great thanks - that solved it, for some reasons Updates where disabled for the flic app on my device.
When enabled I got the new version, and my Twist showed up as expected.

Hi, If the buttons are failing, you most likely have a bad battery that needs replacement.
For the LED colors, this is what they mean when clicked:

2x red pulse (No Pairing exists): The button is brand new and has not been connected to anything 2x yellow pulse (Pairing exists): The button is trying to connect to a previously paired device 1x green blink (Button even has been delivered): All is good and action successful 1x green blink, 2x red blink (Button event has been delivered but the battery is running low): All is good but will soon need new battery 3x red blinks (Button booted): If this happens when the button pressed, it could be a low battery or glitchy battery connection. Make sure to insert a healthy battery and make sure it has good contact with the pads

As for black buttons, unfortunately, no longer sell or produce them. There are no know plans of bringing them back. We'd have to and see what happens in the near future.

If you have further questions, kindly contact our support at support@flic.io.

@andrew-1 Sending several pre-produced review units to Youtubers was to showcase these products in action with your trusted Youtube reviewers of tech products. This has always been the case with our other existing products as well.
That being said, backers are currently receiving their units, the factory is ramping up production, our warehouses are fulfilling orders, and these review units will not affect the shipping and fulfilment of backers pledges.

Hello Emil

Thanks for your quick help. Fantastic it works.
I tried already your solution but missed the fact I had to disconnect the button from the android flic application and then reconnect with BT of the tablet itself. Perfect and again many many thanks !!!

@samjay You're a legend. That was absolutely the problem; the buttons were indeed showing in Default. Thanks 🙂

@normshige please go to https://flic.io/support

@normshige Apple has made some rearrangements in the Home app. Could you go in and see if they are located in the "Default room"?

@snorre-svendsen After a recent round of updates from Apple, buttons are again showing up in «Default room».

@Smellyglove I understand it like you want a Flic button action to trigger a computer (far, far away..) via Ethernet? I would probably set up a HTTP request command from the Flic to an endpoint. Directly or via a server, or maybe an websocket connection. But you might be able to do this even easier using some automation, like Zapier, a "no code" solution. 👍🏻 https://zapier.com/apps/flic/integrations/zapier

@Emil After 4.2.5 update for the hub the brightness control works again. Thanks for the quick solution.

@me-2 It's a work in progress. May I know why the server requires TLS 1.3? TLS 1.2 is still widely used and will probably be that for a long time.

@Emil sorry, that was a pre-coffee morning typo, I meant DNS, not DSN.

I didn't know .local was reserved for mDNS only, as it has been working fine so far. Thanks! I should be able to solve the issue from here.

@adrian_tam You can make an action chain "directly" under a button as well. Just assign multiple actions and they will all be executed.

@bolloxed what do you mean exactly when you say "open and running"? Do you mean the app is in the foreground and visible on the screen?

It should work even when you suspend the app, i.e. when you navigate to another app or turn off the screen. It will however not work if you terminate the app by force quitting it ("swipe kill" in the recent apps list, https://daringfireball.net/2017/07/you_should_not_force_quit_apps).

@hello_marley , I have talked to their support. They say that they do not sell a tool to open their Flics, which is a shame because I have 2 of them that I can't get opened. I have even tried to use a pair of needle nose pliers and I still can't open them. I am dreading this because I have like 12 of them throughout the house and am just dreading having to throw them away when their batteries die.

@atruttmann Hi! Unfortunately this clashes with a build in functionality that after 8 seconds the Flic will disconnect and advertise in "Flic mode". This is to give users a way to connect the Flic back to the Flic app in the case you would not be able to disconnect it from the other device.
