@karafilov - Are you using virtual Flic?

@anton said in Flic for Mac?:

@tcbeatie Cool! Good that you solved it. Regarding the triggers, as you see we do provide the "raw" buttonUp and buttonDown events. This means that you should be able to create a script in which you can define your own click types. Also, have a look at flic-service-osx if you ever feel like making something even more complex ;)

I saw references to that, but not sure how to implement. Easiest might be a triple click?

My current use case is a button in the kitchen that controls the mac next door; volume up/down/pause|play is easy.. A triple click to do something cool like speak the weather would be awesome :)

go to spotify Hold the selected playlsit Hit share Scroll down untill you see 'Share link' Click on 'Share link' Open Flic. Select your Flic button. Select your times of clicking. Go to 'Phone control' select 'Open browser' Paste your copied url there

There you go. goodluck. worked for me

@bambi2000 Thanks. I did manage to get the basics working (as well as find the streams for P3 and P4 :-) ). I also managed to group players by setting CurrentURI of the "slave" IP to the UUID of the "master".

Now I just wish Flic would create some sort of copy function to make it easier to reuse those commands:-) And that Sonos would open their official API for better integration and remote control.

Congratulations on having the sincerity and transparency to make this honest though painful admission.

@giannis-yt I would guess at the moment the Raspberry Pi Zero Wireless is one of the cheapest options.

@conal_loughrey said in can't control WeMo lights directly.:

I am also unable to setup my flics to control my wemo bulbs, the app does not find the wemo devices when I search for them. The bulbs are on the same LAN and other third party apps (for example, wemoleds) can find them.

No - no luck, its very annoying, its the reason I bought the flics - works great with Hue bulbs but not with wemo bulbs.

The latest version of the app has built in support for multiple Flics.

BTW - running node red on the flic hub seems like a perfect solution...

So with some pointers from Emil at Flic support, HUB works if we adopt Authorization: Basic base64. I would comment that iphone/iPad and FLIC combination seem to work either way.

It was not obvious to me initially how to do this in the FLIC app ... so for anyone else wrestling with this ...

in FLIC app under your chose Hub, select the Internet Request"Hub Action"

add your URL which for me was http://192.168.1.nnn:80/api/sceneControl?id=nnn&action=start to run a scene on my home automation box (Fibaro HC2).

stick with GET http method (in my use case)

under the HTTP headers (Optional), set up basic authentication i.e. type "Authorization" in the Key field of the app

encode your "user:password" string using base64 (I used base64encode.org for online base64 encoding)

Prefix the encoded string with "Basic " including a trailing space

"Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4NCg==" is encoded "admin:admin" as an example. Key or paste all of this into the Value field in the FLIC app

Press the INSERT button on the right hand side below the key/value fields. You should then see this header line with a delete symbol (red circle white bar).

Press DONE to ensure all saved away

It should work now - check your user:password encoding as first trouble shooting and/or check you HTTP verb - GET, POST depending on your target system protocols.

Hope that helps someone else get there quicker than me.

Is it possible to set an alarm? I'm looking to set a 6am alarm with one click, a 8am with 2 clicks, and another with a hold. But as far as I can tell the android app does not support a "set" alarm function. The wake up command only lets you dismiss or snooze pre-set alarms.

@Emil unfortunatelly not much better. I tried now with Nexus 5x, and to tell you the truth, things are getting even worse:

Yesterday I set up my old phone: Nexus 5 and my Flic account and my 4 Flics. I set the turquoise to call the gate's number on click and call my wife on double-click. Today I connected the the turquoise Flic to my wife's Meizu phone (it worked after a few restarts of the app and clear data). Note: She uses a different Flic account! I set up that Click calls a phone number (with Hebrew characters in the contact's name in her phone's contact list), Double Click calls ME! Just now I logged in to MY Flic account (the one I used previously in my old Nexus 5) from my new phone (Nexus 5X). I do see my 4 Flics, and there's an icon on each of them teling me that they're locked (makes sense, 3 of them are locked to my old phone, and the turquoise is locked to both to my old phone and my wife's phone) I pressed the flic for 7 seconds and clicked DOWNLOAD (doesn't make sense, the Try again I had in the other phone was more logical to me) BUT when I enter the configuration of the turquoise Flic I was shocked! I saw that Double Click's action is to call ME! This is an enormous BUG, as in all places it was stated that the actions are saved in the phone/account and not "in the flic". How come that when I logged in with my flic account I get the settings of my wife's flic account/phone???? I also saw that the Click action has ???????????? in the name instead of the Hebrew characters....

Look, I am a programmer myself, and I like to help, but I don't feel I am getting much for my money here. The reaction time is way to slow, and doesn't address the problems. The bugs I just posted now... they are so huge, I can't possibly imagine how can it be that you never tried the 1 flic 2 phones, 1 flic 2 accounts scenarios!!!! Or if you never tried them then at least don't write in the forum that it works!

I am seriously considering returning my 4 flics, I paid $110 for them and the time I am investing in debugging and waiting for days to get a response doesn't worth the money. For $25 I can get a Raspberry PI that works and knows a bit more than a flic....

Any news about the possibility of sending keystrokes? To control MobileSheets? Would be much better compared to a foot pedal.

@Emil https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2016/02/cheap-bluetooth-buttons-and-linux/, probably they're not BLE, whatever that means, but they work.

I just noticed the new LIFX Local Network and tried it out and it's working really well. Latency is now very low (same as my own setup). This now makes Flic the perfect light switch for my LIFX lights, super happy and thank you for getting that feature added!

The local API is working fine now, was this fix in the 3.1.1 update of the IOS app?

Since I'd been having a lot of trouble getting this working, and I assume others will as well, the issue with the 10 second press to reset is the device it's currently paired to cannot be connected to it.

In my case, I have Flic buttons paired with Raspberry Pi devices. To unpair it, I had to turn off the service that was listening for Flic button presses. Once I did that, the button lit up red when clicked. This is the indication I needed so I could reset it. At that point, I was able to pair it to another device the same way as a fresh button.

hey, thanks. It works:)
