Quick question here.
Looks like Flic App requires Bluetooth and needs to be in the range to manage Flic Twist, wondering as both the device and hub are on the same network and can't they communicate using IP?
Thanks

@Emil Understood. I am far from a tech guy but can I ask if same protocol is in use between Flic Hub and Flic Twist? I ask because I found I need to place my phone kinda close to Flic Hub in order for the app to work, but Flic Hub and my Flic Twists are relativity way more far and somehow there is no delay whatsoever.
I guess my question is if migrating from BLE to IP (or option to choose IP) something in the roadmap?
I'd like to also take this chance and follow up where we are in regard Flic Twist SDK and/or native Home Assistant support.
Thank you!

@willliam The Flic app and Flic hub currently only communicate with each other over BLE (not IP).

In your app on your phone, is the 'Twist' under the phone tab or the Hub tab. I would assume, it would have to be under the Hub tab so that it auto connects to that and then use the radio instead of bluetooth.
I don't know what I'm talking about so try that until someone who does shows up to help. Most people will not help you until someone else posts a wrong answer... so here is that hook.
