I do actually have the same issue, the flic app with other actions work well, the unified remote itself too. Though the actions thru filc to unified remote are just not triggered.
My setup looks as follwos:

OnePlus 3 Phone with Android 8.0.0 Flic App on the Phone and one Flic Button connected Unified Remote App installed on the Phone and a Server Client on Windows

Does anyone have a workaround here?

Couldn't agree more! BT limits this product in immeasurable ways. There must be a way to extend the range of a button (even when paired to a hub). I get about 40 ft when factoring in walls in my house.

Hi, here's a short tutorial on how to set this up:

Hi! Here's a video on how to change the battery of a Flic:

Hi. Thanks for the issue report. We'll fix that in the next version.

For reference, this is for order IDs #7688 and #7689

@nic-b - My 4-pack came with a "surround" label...not sure about the aesthetics, but could be useful.

@areader0 I've seen that but when I press a button to control a HUE it just gives me a error message saying I need to connect a flic hub.

Have you experience that?

Probably I found a fix for this issue: I had to simply restart my lamp. (Switch off and on again, 2 times in my case).
After that it Flic buttons via Flic hub and my phone were able to send commands to my lamp again via Cloud.
