@Emil there is no reason not to give HomeKit support to the other parts of the flic twist (like with the flic2) such as push and double push.

furthermore the twist part has something scene blender and advanced dimming - both of these have set points which can trigger devices or actions. Why can't these be exposed as individual HomeKit buttons?

It might not be what you intended but it's a simple workaround for something that has been promised for 2 years.

As of now the flic twist is completely useless for me as I use nanoleaf bulbs (which are HomeKit only - your nanoleaf integration only works with the nanoleaf elements).
There's been 2 years to get this working and what I've been sent is a product there's literally nothing I can do with.

I'd sooner you took a return and sent me the equivalently costing flic 2 buttons which at least I can use. I calculate 3 flic twists to be worth at least 8 flic 2 buttons.
Failing that a full return under the UK Distance Selling Regulations.
I have also emailed about this.

@vesa moreover not all thread HomeKit products are matter. Nanoleaf, in their infinite wisdom, decided to come out with a new range of matter bulbs (even though they already use thread and could easily be fixed with firmware). Nonetheless that is not flic's fault but Flic could give at least some Homekit support to the flic twist. It doesn't have to all be about dimming.

Moreover you do have the HomeKit logo on the original kickstarter page.

That you've now put it underneath the matter logo is misleading.

There is absolutely no reason not to expose most of the functionality of the flic twist to matter as buttons - the dimming is not essential in the meantime.

Moreover, not a single firmware update in a year is something I've never experienced.

@Emil Obviously I don't have access to a kickstarter page from 3 years ago.
However I have already explained how it is possible to integrate the flic twist into Homekit without bothering with dimming.

You simply choose, for example the 4 points, on the scene blender and give each of them button status.

@seth_flic It is 6 months since this topic was raised and there has not even been a firmware update for the hub within that time.
Have you just given up on the HomeKit support mentioned in the kickstarter nearly 3 years ago?

As HomeKit support for Flic Twist appears to be who knows how far away I thought I'd use the Internet request action with an old homebridge plugin from @Djelibeybi
https://community.flic.io/topic/17792/add-homekit-support-via-homebridge-with-homebridge-button-platform/2?lang=en-US

However it doesn't seem to work anymore. Anyone have any idea why.

Or perhaps there's another homebridge plugin that can do what I want. I just want, at the bare minimum, to be able to use single press and double press to do what the flic 2 already can do (ie run an automation or scene in Homekit). I thought the HTTP request function would be the easiest.

@Djelibeybi
Hi, I realise this is a very old post and the plugin isn't supported anymore.
However I thought I could use it for the Flic Twist which I paid for on a kickstarter two years ago and they still haven't made it support HomeKit.
It does however support Internet requests.

I've not been able to get it to work though. I'm just trying in a browser or in a terminal using curl. It always says "Button not found" and the homebridge log says "[Button Platform] warning: Received event for unconfigured Button path: /twisttest?event=click"

Is there a reason it doesn't work anymore or anything I can do to get it working?

@seth_flic agreed. They are of no use whatsoever. All my lights are nanoleaf (flic twist only supports the shapes, not the bulbs). Until they make it appear as a HomeKit button it is of no use at all. I realise they are having issues with the dial but at the very least make the button presses work with HomeKit like the flic 2.
If there was a way around it using home bridge, or home assistant I'd gladly do that but for now these are just expensive bricks that Fedex wanted import duty for.

@amir I find this bizarre. I bought this pack on kickstarter almost 2 years ago. It has only just arrived and there has been ample time to get HomeKit certification.

Furthermore Homekit absolutely does do dimming.
I am able to dim lights through the Home App using my existing nano leaf bulbs and I could also do this previously in the home app with my Lifx bulbs.
