Glad I found this thread! My flics have been dying a slow death as I could never get the #@$%$@! battery cover open despite how easy it is on YouTube 😒 I have the Clip accessory but could not for the life of me still get the battery cover open with it. So I used the scissor method (counter-clockwise turn) and that worked, but I almost sliced open my thumb as I was going through all my flics replacing the batteries … be careful with this method! Probably why they don’t even mention it as a solution, but it’s the only solution working for me. Be careful out there! 😜 Oh … and Function over Form please, and thank you! 😬

Matter bridge on home assistant would bridge home assistant controllable devices as matter devices to Flic. But that is oppposite of what would be useful. I have hard time seeing Flic being used as the "center of the home automation" when you have Home Assistant. So Flic hub would need to be the matter bridge, not the controller.

It has been stable after locking it to a single access point in my router network settings

We have a business solution that might have the functionality you are looking for: https://flic.io/business/device-manager.

@rccotnoir Not currently. We thought that would be confusing because these keys are very differently mapped depending on the keyboard layout and we don't know what keyboard layout the user has on the target device the flic is going to be used.

This is something we could consider though in the future but it would require the user to specify keyboard layout first.

@siobhanellis That is correct. You can see at https://flic.io/applications/ that "analog rotation" support for Nanoleaf is not available for Twist.

But the Push function for the Twist can be used to control Nanoleaf lights.

However, using the Advanced dimming option, you can setup the Push & Twist to a certain trigger point and have the push action to trigger a brightness level set for the Nanoleaf light.

Note that Nanoleaf devices that support Matter can be used with the rotation feature in our app though using the Matter functionality.

@jakekapsandy here is an example:

var ir = require('ir'); var arr = [48256, 7029, 3405, 418, 445, 418, 445, 418, 445, 421, 445, 421, 448, 418, 445, 421, 445, 416, 445, 421, 445, 418, 445, 418, 445, 418, 445, 424, 1293, 418, 1296, 416, 448, 418, 445, 426, 445, 424, 1296, 421, 445, 416, 445, 421, 445, 424, 445, 418, 445, 421, 445, 418, 1293, 424, 445, 421, 1293, 416, 1293, 418, 1293, 424, 1293, 421, 1293, 418, 1293, 421, 34946, 7053, 1709, 421]; ir.play(new Uint32Array(arr), function(error) { console.log(error); });

We have just released Matter support, which Wiz also supports. I suggest you to use Matter instead since that is local and hence has much lower latency. See https://faq.wizconnected.com/hc/en/3-wiz-legacy/faq/603-how-to-install-my-matter-ready-device-to-matter-hub/ how to generate a setup code which you can then use in the Flic app. Note that this is only supported when the button is connected to the Flic Hub (not directly to phone/tablet).

@siobhanellis correct. Only the Hub LR of our hubs support Homekit, but all our hubs support Matter (as a controller).

See https://community.flic.io/topic/18460/button-name-23-characters

The button name is stored on the button itself, so that you can see the same name when you connect the button to another device or app.

As mentioned here: https://github.com/50ButtonsEach/flic2-documentation/wiki/Flic-2-Protocol-Specification#get-and-set-name, the name is maximum 23 bytes.

This has been the case for a few years. Before the name was only stored locally in the phone (or hub) and then this restriction was not in place.

I suggest you to use a shorter name, e.g. prefix it with "s:/" and then add the IP address of your soundbar.

@alayton On/Off, hue, saturation, brightness.

OK found this article which could unlock the Twist and other flic devices

@jamoiholland @Emil I second this; very interested in tying flic to Google home.

@jdfetterly do you use the iOS app or Android app? Are you connected to a Flic hub? Exactly what do you mean when you say "Flic app just seems to want to use my old credentials and won’t let me update them."?

Maybe, just maybe there is a way if you use Homebridge, there is a plugin for HomeBridge, install this and then run it as a child bridge, it will show up in Homeassistant, the code for Flic in Home assistant can then be found in the Flic Homebridge plugin, click on the Child bridge icon in the plugin to retrieve the code.
