@Emil - An update?
"late 2020" is kind of here, you know. . .
and as you said earlier, "the ball is rolling according to plan", which must tell us that the HomeKit stuff is coming in a few days?
how accurate, and likely is that, @Emil ?

@Emil - Great news, at least ^^
And how "bulletproof" is that plan then?
how likely it is that the current plan doesn't goes as planned?

@Emil "according to plan", seems a bit over the top... the "plan" was for HomeKit support to be released almost a year back from now, when I bought my flics. . .
my hub + flics have been sitting in a drawer for almost a year now. . . . its Crazy... especially now that I can buy a very similar button from phillips in the exact same size as the flics, that includes HomeKit support... but now I have my investment in quite a few buttons I can't use for what my intentions was...

Its too late for me to return my equipment to flic, cause a have waited for so long on the famous "HomeKit support very soon" promise...

Guess that's a way to make money too...

Make a good selling point, and then stretch it out as much as possible, and keep promising pots of gold just around the corner every time questions come in...
Do that for long enough, and the costumer can't return the equipment, and you make bucks...
Easy Peasy...

All jokes aside, i really feel handled like that ^^
And I really don't like it...

@Emil Wow.... and now its updated to "late 2020" on the official page...
https://flic.io

when (or if) that happens, its been af year from my purchase, where I was promised "early 2020"....
Its really not cool folks...
at least you could offer some kind of compensation...

So far, I haven't shared my "adventure" anywhere else, but maybe its about time...

@Emil - Not a very detailed answer tho. . .
you guys might not take this very serious, but I assure you that I/we do. . .
as I have mentioned earlier, the HomeKit thingie was the only reason I bought your product... and I bought it around Christmas....
thats a long time to wait, considering that u guys told everyone that HomeKit would come early 2020...
I trusted u guys. . . U got problems last time u spoke about HomeKit in regards to flic1, which never saw the day of light...
is THIS the exact same case, or what?

Give us something to hold on to man, and change our "hope" to "excitement" instead... Plz?

Come on dudes...
We really need some transparency here...
its a month since I asked last time, and still not a mm. closer to knowing whats going on with homekit...

was the "Apple HomeKit support, very soon" just a way to get more buyers (like me), or is there some truth behind it at all?
PLEASE throw out af VERY public update on the matter, and stop acting like its nothing...

I say it again... Please?

@Emil
I know you are hesitant about being too exact on a date, because you are afraid of promising too much and look bad afterwards...
I totally get, and respect that... but with that said, you must have an idea of how long the estimate is?
Are we talking in about 1-2 weeks, or 1-2 months. . . Or years, maybe? I can only stick to the first promise we got, and that was "HomeKit to be launched in the 1. quarter of 2020", which is in less then a month...

is that estimate far off?

I BADLY need an update on this matter also. . .
i have bought quite a few buttons, with the intend of using them together with HomeKit exclusively...

The wait is killing me xD

Every time I asked the flic team directly, I get the same "oh, it will be soon" or "HomeKit will be available in early 2020" answer... that's not very specific...

Can it be THAT hard to be a little more transparent, and just tell EXACTLY where we stand?

Something like "Hey Brian, im sorry for the wait on HomeKit, but right now we are waiting for the last bits to fit together, and a rough estimate will be 7-14 days if everything goes as planned" would be much appreciated.

I NEED answers, dammit ! xD
Im ultra stoked !
