Flic API support for Twist

terabyte128

When do you expect that the API for the Flic Hub will support the Twist? It's frankly unacceptable for have invested hundreds of dollars into this ecosystem for extremely limited third-party device support and literally nothing in the API.

We have waited literal years for these devices to arrive, it's pretty absurd that you've been sitting on your hands this entire time for software?

@subscriptions @Emil Thanks for your response. Just caught the email about full matter launching soon, good to hear the SDK twist is coming up.

Are there a lot of people using the matter integration? I've struggled to figure out anything I that I would use it for with the twist accept for investing time into creating a virtual matter device so I could use the twist events for my own uses...

These are the things I have in my house. Are there any interesting use cases I'm missing?

Smartthings
Philips hue
Sonos
nanoleaf
Google hubs (voice assistant)

With sonos/hue integration already working with the twist with matter (which is great...) not sure what else I could do with it.

Might be cool to see a list of matter integrations/demos with the twist functionality specifically? (more than a list of other companies that support matter)

Thank you!

@sgemmen Yeah, it's still on the roadmap. But first we are prioritizing to finish the general available Matter release.

@Emil Any hope for the twist support for the hub SDK?

@Emil said in Flic API support for Twist:
@terabyte128 We plan to release Flic Twist support some time in February/March/April for the Hub SDK. We are also planning to release a Matter controller SDK to the Hub SDK that can be used to control any Matter device.

It is now May, how are things looking @Emil ? These buttons have just been sitting being absolutely useless so far. To have a dial there, but unable to control ANYTHING isn't something I can just put in my home and assume people will understand that they can only press the button to do stuff. It's silly.

FYI that @Emil responded in another thread on timing. Since it's weeks and not months, I'd guess/hope late may/early june?

@Emil said in Flic Twist - Rotate clockwise / counterclockwise?:

@sgemmen most likely in the upcoming weeks

Also eagerly awaiting twist support. So much more flexibility through SDK.

Also, why only 4 twist spots vs 12 with push and twist?

@Emil Would really love an update on either support for Flic Hub turn events for the Twist or at a minimum what you mentioned here

@Emil said in Flic Twist - Rotate clockwise / counterclockwise?:

Http Request at every step. Currently the number of steps is 4 but we intend to increase it to 12.

I come to the forum nearly everyday hopeful to see an announcement for these things. I'm sure i'm not the only one. If you add the twist events, I'll be happy to share my code for integrations and again I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be happy to do that. Let's unleash the power of this thing!

Heres a list of other posts I see related to wanting/needing this:

I have 6 twists and 30+ buttons (lost count). Clearly, I'm a crazy supporter of Flic products, my only desire that hasn't been fulfilled is more updates on the progress for improvements.

We are into April. @Emil, has there been any update to the timeline we can expect for the Flic API support for twist?
