Can I use more than one Flic hub?
-
Is it possible, or suggested, to use more than one Flic hub, maybe for greater coverage area?
For example, I'm wondering if I could use a Flic Hub LR AND a Flic Hub Mini.

@buckyswider @Emil Agree, would be nice if there was a for the hubs to synchronize the configurations across a single account.

@buckyswider this should work as mentioned. For matter device they typically have a maximum number of fabrics they can be part of. This needs to be at least 5 per the matter spec.

Hi, was this every worked out? With my old house, I will need several hubs if I want to use buttons in different rooms. At this point I don't anticipate any "mobile" buttons, but one never knows what the future will bring. Additionally, I will want buttons in multiple locations to be able to control the same matter-enabled devices. Can i import a matter device into multiple FLIC hubs?
If this does work the way Emil describes above, it would be great to have a backup/restore/clone functions instead of having to add configurations to multiple hubs. Sorta weird that there is no backup function today...

@norman-vezey A Flic can be paired to multiple hubs/phones, but can only be connected to one hub/phone at a time. So, in order to pair to a different hub, you need to first temporarily disconnect from the first hub. In the Android app you can for each Flic button toggle Disconnect/Connect. But maybe it's easier to just unplug the first hub while you pair the button to the next hub.
When the Flic attempts to connect, it will pick the "first" hub that it detects.

@Emil said in Can I use more than one Flic hub?:
@MediaMan sure!
Just pair each flic to each hub and assign the same configuration for every hub for a specific button.
Note that Smartthings can only be used with one flic hub though, per Samsung account, due to a technical limitation.
It doesn't seem to work for me, I can pair with only one device, message I get is "This Flic is currently connected to another device. Please disconnect from that device before trying again"
