I just tried to setup the first of three twists that I backed on Kickstarter and to say that I am thoroughly disappointed would be an understatement. After waiting two years for these, I basically have a giant, overpriced Flic2. The twist operations are completely useless. While one of the few manufacturers that these are supposed to actually support at the time of release is Lifx, and I have close to 100 Lifx bulbs installed in my home, the Flic app will only support twist functions via Lifx Local network, yet it can only locate a handful of my installed bulbs. Posts in other ares of the forum place the blame on Lifx Firmware updates; but if the Lifx Local Network is still supported, it seems that the Flic development team should take some responsibility in ensuring that their software continues to communicate with the Lifx bulbs, as firmware is updated. This is analogous to application developers needing to update their software whenever an OS update release creates an incompatibility or conversely, when a hardware vendor must produce new drivers in order for their products to work with the updated OS. In this instance, Flic is the Hardware Product. Its key selling point is its ability to control third party devices. When its software can't even locate the devices of one of the only FOUR vendors for which it is providing initial "Twist" integration, that is a SERIOUS problem. I was already feeling a sense of trepidation, prior to receiving my twist units, having seen the YouTube review from Everything Smart Home, The only thing that gave me hope was that he mentioned Lifx as being one of the few vendors supported at the time of release. So much for that hope ....
