I found the solution! After years having the same problem with a lot of dead flics I bought a tool that is meant for changing clock batteries. Here is the tool on a norwegian site: https://www.kjell.com/no/produkter/elektro-og-verktoy/verktoy/spesialverktoy/klokkeapner-p48329?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=NO | Shopping Category&utm_id=23554678753&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23554678753&gbraid=0AAAAADcA9cwe4JDhSc1gGT3C9cnKFt7KA&gclid=Cj0KCQiA49XMBhDRARIsAOOKJHbbqrwuH_gRu4oZXdGMoGy7YnlvONWAxdkLhBYV0sBsJEmm1b35O_8aAqvpEALw_wcB

@craig-2 There is an official MQTT integration for the Flic Hub LR SDK, which can be used for HASS integration. It works passably well, but I am partial to this version, which is much more fully-featured, and has worked pretty flawlessly for me.

@Emil said in DUO Behaviors:

on. Which actions will be performed thus depend on what actions have been set up on that receiver, to be triggered when the controller in question is pressed. So if you have a Flic Button paired to both a phone and a hub, where you have for the phone assigned an action when the button is double clicked (only), but on the hub you have set up an action to be performed when the button is held (only), then no action will be performed upon holding the button down, if the button currently has an active connection to the phone.

Ok, so there is no "fallback" concept. It's just based on where it's currently connected. I did a test setup for this, to confirm. When connected to the hub, it won't let you setup through pairing to the phone. So, in the hub disconnect the duo, then pair to the phone. Set up the duo. Deselect the "disconnected" on the hub version, and now they will both work, just whichever is connected takes precedence. Ex: Phone dies or turn off bluetooth, commands will go to hub now. Duo will stay connected to hub even when phone is restored bluetooth.

So, is it possible to control the volume of my phone via Twist (since it's only allowed when hub-connected)?

My questions around Flic Control and Change Config are around how to swap functionality of the same controller. So, maybe small button toggles between the controller being a volume controller vs a media controller (volume up, down, mute vs play/pause, next, prev, skip forward, skip backward, set sleep timer) note: I do understand gestures are supposed to help here, but I get really inconsistent results.

@soulbarn2 Only the Flic Hub LR can be added to Homekit as a bridge accessory, exposing its added Flics. In this case you should, in Homekit, press each Govee device and share it (by obtaining a Matter passkey), then enter this passkey into the Flic app while connected to the Flic Hub in the Matter provider. That will pair the Flic Hub with the Govee light, so you can control it from the Flic Hub. Repeat this process for each light. There is unfortunately no way to share groupings of devices across different Matter fabrics.

Another way would be to use e.g. the flic lib without using the hub to listen to events from button presses, and then generate and send the OSC messages yourself.

@gordon-0
I found this: for any IOS browser Webkit, the browser distinguishes between a fresh load initiated by navigation and a technical refresh gesture. The latter requires an additional tap on the screen by the user before input fields can be focused for typing. This is a deliberate security measure by Apple to enhance user control and prevent a poor user experience.

I have the same issues. My flic is connected, working fine and many actions work, but some including launch application, send intent, and fake call get this error message when I try to set them up. I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting & factory resetting. This is happening across multiple flic devices.

Did you ever solve this problem?

I am pairing via the flic app & I also click yes to the phone system prompt asking me to pair. I am on android.

The error reads:
"Flic paring needed
Due to this button was removed from bluetooth pairings, you need to delete this flic from the app and pair it again to use this feature."

@HSDK Do you mean that the Sonos integration works as follows:

Android: Yes iOS: No Flic Hub: No

?

@gamhacked00 said in Spotify Web Connect on iOS is really unreliable:

Reopening the app fixes the problem

Do you mean the flic app or the Spotify app?

We have noticed this as well, but it is simply how the Spotify API works.

@gabriel_g Hi, when you have a Hold & Twist function active, a Swipe action must be performed within 0.5 seconds.

@Emil Thanks!

@chachee35 thanks, we will investigate

@fmg80s said in Flic Twist and Nanoleaf:

Unfortunately, it doesn’t dim the Shapes lights.

Take a look at this topic.

Brightness not working for Twist and Nanoleaf Skylight

@edziu-konczewski The reason is indeed due to technical limitations.
Android does not expose any way for third party apps to answer an incoming phone call, at least not using publicly defined APIs. It might be the case that Tasker uses some internal hidden private API in Android, but such use is discouraged by Google and might stop working at any time. In every Android release, Google blocks more and more internal APIs.

That said, if you are happy with Tasker, you can simply use the Flic integration inside Tasker to trigger whatever you want in Tasker by the click of a Flic button.

@buckyswider You can remove a non-responding Matter device, but in that case the Flic hub pairing will not be removed from the Matter device in question.

@wpjvanderven this is fixed in version 4.0.13 which should now be available on Google Play. If not, please wait for Google to roll out the new version.

@alexgooz92fs Nice to hear that!

It seems the issue doesn't affect all users. I my self can for example use the Alexa actions I set up previously, before their outage, successfully today without the need to re-enable the skill or re-setup anything.

Note that the http request containing the button press event that is sent to Alexa's server when a Flic button is pressed, sent from us, looks the same both before and after their outage, so if it suddenly doesn't work after their outage, it seems at least to me something has been broken on their end for you it doesn't work for. However, if you added an additional Alexa action during the time they had an outage, that action might not have been synced correctly so in that case you might need to remove the Alexa action and add it back in the Flic app.
