@gj The new apps now display the serial number of the buttons in the button info.

@gordon-0 As the "Internet Request" action in the app is designed, it unfortunately does not contain any type of cryptographic signature that you can verify to make sure the request (when received) itself actually originated from the press of the button. The only thing you can do is to provide credentials or something in the headers of the Internet Request, but those you have to design and implement yourself.

@starstruckpigeon is it the Android or iOS app that is crashing? What app version do you have?

I just noticed this post https://community.flic.io/topic/18577/mqtt-issue-on-firmware-version-4-4-5 and updated Flic Hub to version 4.4.6 which appears to have solved the crash.

Please upgrade to firmware 4.4.6 which does not have this problem.

If you use the device manager, you can manually assign a specific firmware version.

@pociask Hi, we are testing every button at the production site including the battery voltage of the included battery, so we can assure you that no buttons leaving the factory have low voltage. The issues in this thread are related to issues we had with the old Flic 1 and are not relevant for Flic 2. In case a customer notices that the battery drains quicker than expected, we will of course send a replacement.

@Emil Thanks. I was able to read the signal using a raspberry Pi and then replaying worked with Flic. Don't know why it wouldn't read it correctly, but now my problem is solved!

@knewe After analysis and advice from the flic team, the Flic Button is now working as intended. First, the Flic Button must be programmed via the Flic app. This programming is saved using the SAVE & DISCONNECT function. Afterward, the Flic Button cannot be pressed; instead, it must first be connected in the Bluetooth settings of the affected device. The Flic Button will then execute the programmed commands.

Hi,

We have just released a firmware update which should fix this (version 4.4.4).

While connected to a Flic Hub, go to settings and press "check for new firmware" in order to upgrade.

@Emil Hi there, hope all is well. Any thoughts on when you'll be able to add Sonos favorites? Thanks!

@andreas-lorentsen

What didn’t age well?

The flic twist is a major disappointment. I have 3 in box and no use for them.

Flimsy plastic buttons. The flic buttons are great piece of hardware. Twist feel like cheap and they are not.

Who cares about Matter integration. White Phillips hue dial is a way nicer button. The twist barely integrates with anything, so why would I use it for Hue. For Sonos an ikea dialll works great and its. Fraction of the price

No public roadmap. Instructions that require lines of code and different files.

Yes, it’s major disappointment

@Emil How was the holiday?

Unfortunately, we currently do not have a cheaper or slower option for shipping. We had something cheaper in the past and it always took several months for packages to arrive and sometimes failed to deliver. Customers were not happy with such setbacks and it cost Flic a lot to deal with such situations. Hence, we had to revert to the current shipping method.

@flic-1b Hmm, sorry but this is a mistake on our side.

I have found your email in our support system and I will instruct my colleague to go ahead with the refund. Again, sorry about this.

@Emil
Thanks for the reply. I will try this. The obvious follow-on question is "will there be an IOS equivalent option?"

UPDATE:
This only seems to work, when my phone is awake and the flic app is on the screen...:-(

@scullracer isolating's answer helped me to do so (with flic 1).
I asked flic to open chrome
using the url like described in the article.

I used it without passing on any input.
Just starting the Shortcut

shortcuts://run-shortcut?name=[name]&input=[input]&text=[text]

I replaced [name] with the name of my shortcut and deleted from the first "&" onward.

That helped me to - finally - start the iphone timer.

Thank you @isolating - thank you so much!
