Any News on Flic Twist updates
-
I bought two Flic Twists and they are pretty disappointing at the moment, deciding if I should sell them, one is still in the box and has been since it arrived. Will we be seeing any updates before mid year? Would be good to be able to use the dial for spotify volume or something.....

@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 Are you working on integrating the IR accessory? Twist to send an IR pulse seems like a no-brainer.

Not sure what 5 minute wait you are referring to?
There is a 5 minute wait before you can "post again" on the forum.

@steveff Our Matter integration is just around the corner.
Well this is good news. Are we talking weeks or months?
CSA is currently reviewing our certification application.
BTW, the 5 minute wait after helping someone out on another thread is quite annoying.

@steveff Our Matter integration is just around the corner. For the Twist this is probably most relevant for lights, as no speakers I know yet support Matter.
What we also have in the pipeline for Twist is e.g. more configurable steps (4 -> 12) for Advanced Dimming/Scene Blender so that you can trigger an action (e.g. Alexa) with higher resolution and before as well as Hub SDK features for the Twist so that you can build custom integrations.
Spotify has an API (over cloud) that we could potentially use for controlling the volume, but we are not sure if the latency will be low enough to make this action have a good user experience. We also don't like that they don't provide any means to "push out" the volume status when it is changed so that the LEDs on the Twist could update accordingly (https://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-for-Developers/Access-to-websockets/td-p/4955299).
