A play sound action will be made available in a later update. Our main focus now that the hubs are being shipped out is to gradually increase the functionality. We will have a V1.2.0 release of the Hub coming out shortly that adds more actions, but unfortunately Play sound will not be available in that update. However, It is likely that it will be available in the one after that.

It is on our list, but I can not comment on a release date. Right now we are working hard on adding more features to the hub (as well as fixing any bugs that may arise during this initial release phase). We will have a Hub release coming out soon that adds more actions, but the Change Configuration action will not be part of that release.

Hopefully we will get to it soon though.

The Flic buttons I have came with 2 bases. One of them I can attach to a wall by drilling a hole for screw mounting. The other is the sticky-back which can be stuck and re-stuck to walls and under granite counter-tops even after close to a year of use.

Is that what you're asking about?

Hello, I am one of the developers of the hub.

First of all I would like to ask what kind of technique you are using to decide if a UDP port is open or closed? UDP is connectionless so by design they don’t really behave like TCP when doing port scans. With TCP you often either get a Connection Reset response or no response at all if you try to connect to a closed port, at which point you can assume that the port is actually closed. With UDP it does not work like that since you are not guaranteed to get a response in either scenario. And even if a port is temporarily open it does not mean that you actually have a service on the other side listening.

I seem to remember that tools like NMAP use ICMP responses to decide if a UDP port is open (correct me if I’m wrong). But this generates a lot of false positives since a lot of ports are not really bound to a permanent service, but rather temporary ports used by both the Linux OS (DNS requests, NTP requests, etc..) and our host application for different features (like action executions etc). This is normal UDP behavior and not an indication of a security flaw.

But again, I don’t fully trust the results of this scan. UDP port 22 (SSH) for example I know for sure is not bound to anything.

If you have any further questions then I will try to answer but you need to be more specific with what kind of tools you use and what kind of amplification attacks you are referring to.

Hi!
As @stuart mentions, the Hub doesn't have a battery. You can use any standard micro-USB phone charger and plug it into the wall.
I wouldn't recommend using a battery pack, because as @stuart says, it won't last long.

Hi,
Yes! The dev team is currently working on integrating the LIFX LAN API. We also really think this will solve the latency issues.
We'll keep you updated!
Thanks

To be able to create a programmatic response to flic actions from the hub, I have created a quick http listener that takes a query string and lets me run whatever scripts I want on another computer.

This takes a get request as follows:

http://flic-hub-listener/actions?hubname=one&flicname=one&action=click

The issue is that I have 4 flics on one hub, each with 3 actions therefore I need to paste a modified action in 12 times to make this work.

As mentioned in my earlier post(https://community.flic.io/post/18066) it would be much easier if I can create actions for all buttons on the hub, for example a URL with variables for hub name, flic name and action like this:

http://flic-hub-listener/actions?hubname={hub_name}&flicname={button_name}&action={button_action}

This will be much more robust and easier to manage for those of us who want to build their own scripts with the hub instead of using the supplied apps. These variables may be a benefit to other apps as well.

I know this is quite old topic, but I have to say that I have the same experience. I bought FLIC because it seemed like a good way to solve my problem - absence of physical switch button to control LIFX light bulbs and the resulting frustration of my wife... Well it didn't. It works like 70% of the time :( I don't think it's the phone. I tried two different phones and one computer. Sometimes I press the button and nothing. And sometimes after 10, 20s suddenly do something. It's really frustrating especially if you consider the price and "the brand". I wouldn't be surprise if it's from Aliexpress for 2$, but it's not. My original idea was to wait for FLIC HUB, but it seemed to me be a little bit pricey. To be completely honest now I'm thinking to sell the buttons and (as it in the title) give up. It's a pitty because the idea is great.

Unfortunately, Keynote no longer works with Flic. Damn it!!! I did not install any new program. I deleted Flic app, then I deleted the cache on Mac Libray... Reinstall the Flic app.. Does not work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, thx for the reply my enviroment is Android and Flic App
I removed the two missing bulbs from the Gateway and added them again . Now one of them is recognized in the Flic App.
The only difference is that one bulb is linked with a tradfri hardware remote and the other not. The bulb which is not linked with a hardware remote is not recognized in the flic app.
Is that link to a hardware switch needed to be recognized by the flic app?

Thanks @oskar

I am using a WileyFox Swift 2 Plus (Android 7.1.2) device.

I have tried resetting bluetooth on the phone to no avail therefore applied the user data reset but a phone reboot was what ultimately resolved the issue.

I will post back here if I have further related issues.

Hi!

This was temporarily removed since we had to match the settings for iOS and Android for the Flic Hub.

This will be added back in a future update, it was simply cut due to time constraints.

Sorry about this! We are hoping to re-introduce this for both iOS and Android in the near future!

@hello_marley We're sorry for such inconveniences but WeMo is still unstable, at the moment. We're getting in touch with WeMo and our dev team is still trying to solve this issue. We'll update soon.

Hi!
Since a lot of actions are different from phone to hub, there is currently no way to transfer your actions, we're sorry about this!
However, I'll forward your request to the development team.
I hope it doesn't take too much time to set it up again. Thanks for your support! :)

Same for me. I have to keep one flic button connected to an iPad to switch my Harmony activities using the old flic system... That's not what I expected buying the hub... (sorry for bad english, I'm in France)

Microsoft has made some breaking changes in newer Windows versions, so unfortunately now the FlicSDK.exe doesn't work :/
When we have time soon we will fix it.

@giannis-yt I would guess at the moment the Raspberry Pi Zero Wireless is one of the cheapest options.
