One major thing I use my Flic buttons for is controlling Lifx bulbs. Since yesterday they aren't working and refreshing everything through the Flic app, Lifx app, restarting the hub, etc. I've narrowed it down to Flic is not able to access the lifx servers. I do not believe it is Lifx servers because alexa connects just fine as does the lifx native app. To my understanding local control of lifx has never been possible even though it is shown in the flic app. Is that correct?

RE: Flic constantly in standby
@Emil I sometimes get two red blinks. I agree that usually the Flic connects, but not every time. Is there a reason a Flic disconnects from the hub?

RE: Flic constantly in standby
@Emil how long does a button need to sit idle before it disconnects? The three of six buttons I use most regularly are the ones doing this. Two of the three are also the very close to the hub... Out of curiosity, does connecting the hub to the router directly work better than using it over wifi?

RE: Flic constantly in standby
@robert-flook I'm having the same issue and can't find any help anywhere.
@Emil is there any guidance? I've only had these (6) for a couple of months and can't imagine it's a battery issue. I've tried restarting the hub, but that didn't solve anything. -
RE: Alexa and FLIC integration.
@obbucket from @amir post it sounded like a "this quarter" type thing, so I'm hopeful and won't bother them until April
That being said, I have started to think of different Alexa routines I'd set up specifically for Flic buttons. One thing I'm curious on being able to set a trigger based on current status. For example, I have a light that is turned on dim with one click, 100% with two clicks, and off with a long press... Would there be any way to set a trigger based on the current status? I know it depends on the bulb, and I have some Lifx bulbs that do this because they're directly integrated. But what about something like a Wyze bulb, or ewelink (sonoff) outlet.

RE: Alexa and FLIC integration.
@Emil, sorry "looking into it" didn't sound as promising as the videos presented it. Is there any expectation or goal on the release date or an opportunity to be a beta tester?

RE: Alexa and FLIC integration.
@Emil said in Alexa and FLIC integration.:
We do not have an Alexa integration but we are looking into it. We can't make any promises as of now if it will work or when it could be released if it is working fine. We will announce on our website and in our newsletter when we have some news about it.
Really? Just got a Hub and 6 buttons anticipating that triggering alexa routines was right around the corner...
Please correct me if I've missed something in these two videos...
