It works!

The problem was

old firmware (could not update myself) with new firmware the 'sdk-switch' in the flic-app was turned off, by default
-> red dot in the sdk-login-screen turning sdk-switch to on
-> green dot in the sdk-login-screen
-> login works!

thanks @Emil for the directions

@emil lol thank you. i will return them for now, let me know if you were able to figure it out.

Maybe, just maybe there is a way if you use Homebridge, there is a plugin for HomeBridge, install this and then run it as a child bridge, it will show up in Homeassistant, the code for Flic in Home assistant can then be found in the Flic Homebridge plugin, click on the Child bridge icon in the plugin to retrieve the code.

@buckyswider @Emil Agree, would be nice if there was a for the hubs to synchronize the configurations across a single account.

@editdave yeah we are discussing internally a new mode for the twist that would make this possible. It needs to be a "free" movement so not tied to 0-100% as each mode is currently.

@Emil How was the holiday?

@starstruckpigeon is it the Android or iOS app that is crashing? What app version do you have?

@Emil what you say now is the same what I understood from the previous explanation above of how Flic + Android app are supposed to work, but it seems it doesn't.

For example right now I tried to do it again, after pressing for 10 seconds it indeed "found a new flic" but then: "Couldn't connect to the Flic, Make sure you don't have to many Flics on your account and the Flic is within reach". Well I do have at most 4 physical flics, 0 in the account of the phone I am trying. Is that too muany? Anf the phone is 10 cm from the Flic, and BTW it found it... So what's the problem?

BTW it is very annoying to write in these small textboxes in the forum, when half of them is hidden below the bottom of the window (Mac, Google Chrome)...

@bryan.arias1 said in How do i talk to flic developers that no on the forums?:

well all i needed flic to do was to interface with an android device accessibility options to act as a switch but flic doesnt show up as a bluetooth device therefore cant be used as a switch to control the device. I did find the warranty policy but i did not find a way to return the product. where do you click to start the return process?

If you feel like you want to return the product then please contact support@shortcutlabs.com and they will help you out. Regarding HID functionally on Android we really wanted to add support for that, but unfortunately we could not do that since Android has some stability issues with HID devices.

@michal-svatos Hi! Thanks for reaching out. Check out this recent topic on LIFX lights: https://community.flic.io/topic/17293/flic-latency-with-lifx-but-likely-same-for-most-smart-lights
We'll keep you updated!

Same problem here. I have a Flic I want to use once per day, but every time I go to use it it is disconnected. Pretty useless...

@WinstonSmith

Hi there.

I'm really curious how you managed to get the datestamp into google sheets.
ID, press type, lat and long are all no problem but, the timestamp never works.

I think the only way to do 4 actions is to have something like a triple-click or double-click-and-hold.

You can only do 3 of those actions with the Flic :/. That's a great reason for adding more press types.

@fernmac

Did you ever find a solution for this?
Did you manage to log the timestamp?

Hi, here's a short tutorial on how to set this up:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rs1jYlI8LxGXxfWL4floSG4jIVrBFrH1P7_vs-TngT8/edit?usp=sharing

Hi! Like @nixta-is asks, this could be related to your system's language or permissions of the Applications folder. Let us know if you've managed to solve it! Thanks!

@p72b Hi! Yes, that's correct. Flic Single is meant as a simplified version of the normal Flic, with limited actions, but at a lower price. If you want to use our SDK you'll need any of the standard Flics in our shop https://flic.io/shop. I'm sorry if it wasn't clear! We'll try to make it clearer on the web now 🙂

I can't seem to find this setting in the Flic app version 3.4.2
I'm running trough batteries like crazy and would like to try the passive mode to fix this.
Anyone have any idea where I can find this setting now exactly?

I tried this again yesterday and I'm happy now because it's working as it should, thank you!

@adam-setch Not at the moment. What is your use case in case you want this to be supported?
