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

@oskaremilsson yup. Erm. So.. this is awkward. The phones BLE scanner must have gotten stuck in some bad state. A restart of the phone worked 🤦‍♂️ Didn't cross my mind that the issue could be that deep into the system. As a dev I should've tested that as #1 though 🙃 Thanks, and sorry! 😅

@Emil it is a Comodo - Positive SSL multi-domain. I can look up the root, but not right now. If you need it I will have to look it up.

@flic-v not sure exactly what you did but if you set a custom password through the app, this should override the password on the back.
