<![CDATA[Twist functionality severely limited?]]>Is it correct that the twist functionality only works with Lifx, IKEA, Matter, and Hue? Meaning that the only functionality beyond that only applies to the centre button on the Twist? So it’s pointless to buy the Twist instead of just using the basic buttons?

Plus Matter won’t work for me anyway. I have a Govee matter light, and the flic app will not add it. I wanted to twist through various Govee settings and that appears impossible?

I just tried setting it up with IFTTT and this is how it appears to me. I’m only trying IFTTT since the app refuses to add any Flic devices into HomeKit. The buttons work in IFTTT but are laggy.

  1. Within the Flic App I choose the Matter option. Which prompts me to scan the QR code. I do, and after a delay, the App tells me that the device cannot be found. It is powered on and lit when I do this.

  2. That light was previously added to HomeKit with Matter. So, I tried the other alternative in your App, which is to add it via HomeKit. HomeKit opens and asks me to scan the QR code. I do, and after a delay it fails.

Sonos also.

What do you mean here when you say that the "flic app will not add it"? We have Govee lights here at the office and they work flawlessly for us with Matter. If they are already added to another Matter controller, make sure you use the "share device" feature in that controller to create a dynamic QR code/numeric setup code since the one printed physically can only be used once.

This should be possible using Advanced Dimming and the Matter Other action with Effects.
