Maybe we need to create a kickstarter that pays for an extra “dedicated” staff member whose sole purpose is to solve this. I would pay money for that, if it meant i finally get to turn a massive button into something more. i am in no way a programmer, but i’m assuming that when a product is developed, wouldn’t its known features be made available in the sdk? especially when the “twist” feature is available for
philips hue to utilise and some other companies. So clearly there is a way to access the “twist” feature.

I understand that matter would change the focus of the company, maybe even cause a complete redesign of the ecosystem. The main reason i supported the twist was because how rock solid the flic’s are. I don’t think i have come across another smart home product that just works like the flics do.

There is so much potential in opening up a product fully to the community that supports it financially. By doing so will literally make you more money. I know if i had the ability to use the twist, even at a basic level,
(like to know if its turned left or right) i would be happy as.. i dont want the world, i just want to finally use the twist to its full potential.

At the moment the twist is an expensive over sized car with no steering wheel that you can’t drive. Oh, wait, i can turn the headlights on and off, but go nowhere…. money well spent.

i am sorry for sounding a tad passive aggressive to flic staff, but i’m just frustrated. There is clearly something more going on in the background that’s not being said.

Hello,

Same problem here with the "Get contents of URL" action, works when tested via the Home app but not with the actual flic button. Was working fine before 18.2.

@Emil Hey Emil, i‘d like to push this topic back on the table. There would be so many possibilities if all the functions triggered by a Button could also be launched via HomeKit. Especially functions of the ir blaster. I’d really appreciate if you guys implement this feature. Thank you all.

@Emil hi it worked for me with some syntax change replacing - with :
so just change D7:E2:G3:XX:XX

It was a brand new hub that had unfortunately not yet been processed from the factory logs. It is now done and you can go ahead updating the firmware.

@bobbyh Not sure, but that would be really useful for me!

@ricnev All OK now after latest Flic 4.3.8 hub firmware update. Thanks very much Flic!

Thanks so much - that fixed it! Didn't even think to check for new firmware.

@eirikaaltvedtf
Sounds simple, but these are actually hard cases for Flic. Using the hub is quite a limiting factor, as is executing commands on PC coming from cloud. Using the flic hub, you cannot achieve this without creating some external actions.

There are some utilities for Windows that have been designed for this. For example TRIGGERcmd has quite a simple setup with ready made IFTTT applet you could use, I think more advanced and requiring a bit more setup would be AssistantComputerControl; it might overall be a better solution if you have other smart home devices.

For the phone it's enough that you download and "always run" IFTTT app there.

@mitvortrieb Govee lights can typically be controlled using the Matter integration.

Meanwhile i found another setting in my phone regarding the battery optimisations. Seems to be working now.
Thanks for your help.

@ys-khoe USB typically delivers 5 volt but flic accepts a range somewhere between 2 and 3.6 volt so you would need to convert the voltage somehow.

@Emil Thanks Emil,
Rapid orange flashing (not red).

Would be nice if you can describe color coding somewhere in manual or better in video.

Thanks Best

@pofi

Looking for any update…. I feel a bait and switch with these twists

@Emil said in Event Logs?:

@bytheedgeuk We will investigate this. I'll see if we can change to make it possible to omit the value entirely instead of sending an empty bytestring.

I noticed after the latest app update I can get this to work.

Thanks @Emil
