Can't trigger Homey Flows from Flick App
-
Hi!
I just bought a Homey Pro and are trying to set up my Flic2 buttons to trigger Homey Flows.
However, when I select Homey Action (and successfully logging in) in the Flic App, I get to this screen where I assume my flows should be showing up:
Am I missing any step in the setup or there is something wrong with the integration?
Thanks!

I am using the flic buttons + hub with http requests.
So you can start the flow with a http request trigger of homey logic.
This works very well, skipping the flic homey app and has a much, much better performance and works even if your internet connection is down.
You just have to configure a static IP for Homey to do that. Why sending a www request around the globe for triggering your light 2m away from the button?
Edit: works as well with advanced flows -
The reason that some flows don't show up in the Flic app is that they are advanced flows.
Only standart flows can be triggered from a flic button.
-
@Emil Ok, I get it now! It seems that the Homey integration doesn't support starting Advanced Flows and instead only works with Standard Flows.
I can live with that, as I can start an advance flow from standard one, but it would great if the integration could support them natively!
Thanks for your help!

@gnoain hmm this is how it looks for me

@Emil I have this feeling that I'm missing a very basic piece of information here, but don't know which one.
I haven't done any flow triggered with "This Flow is started". The ones I want to trigger have a "Start" trigger. I created this sample flow, but still it doesn't show up in the Flic app:
-
@gnoain In the Homey app, what's the trigger condition for the Flow? For me I just verified it works e.g. when "This Flow is started" is selected.
-
@Emil there's no such thing as a stupid question here
I do have a good bunch of flows created in the Homey app and I use the Flic Hub.
-
@gnoain Maybe a stupid question, but I assume you already created your Flows in the Homey app first?
Do you use the Flic hub or the iOS app directly?
