This has happened to me too. I updated the app to the 2.1.0 version, and it lost all the information. Now the flic buttons are re-paired, but I cannot choose any macro within Keyboard Maestro, which is what these were purchased for. I can refresh the macros, which then show up, but I cannot actually select any of them. So I now have seven buttons that are paired, but useless. I have de-selected and re-selected Flic in the security preferences, re-started the computer, unplugged my mouse and re-plugged my mouse, but still cannot select any macro in the app. Can you help?

RE: Flic Hub with Mac app
@anton Hello! I just wanted to update you and let you know that so far, everything you have helped me with on this project has worked quite well. I still don't have any clue how to autostart terminal, but so far it has not been hard to just restart it when I need. What I'm wondering about now is this - I've bought six more flic buttons to add (these will complete what I've planned on the virtual organ), and need to add them to the hub. I've got enough keystrokes left to assign to them, but am now wondering if I need to do anything to the python program to allow it to recognize them and send the internet request. Could you advise? I'm adding to this thread instead of starting a new one, in order for you to place it in context. Thanks! Diane

RE: Flic Hub with Mac app
@anton Hi anton - the program is running well - thanks again for your help on that. I have googled how to get a python script in terminal to autostart, but I am overwhelmed by what looks like outdated information, and coding language I'm not super familiar with. Can you give me the step by step information to get that last piece set up? I did manage quite easily to set up a static IP address, so that's working as well. It's just the autostart part that I haven't got down yet. Thanks! Diane

RE: Flic Hub with Mac app
@anton Thank you so much for all your help! The problem ended up being your first point - the app had not had me set up an internet connection. Nothing directed me to do that when I downloaded, so I thought it was using the connection my phone already had. Once I did that, then all worked according to your second set of instructions. As for setting up a static IP address, I've decided to take my chances and set everything up in the hope that the current IP address will last for a few weeks at least, and take that time to research the best way to set it up. I may have to go to my internet provider and get their help, and I didn't want to hang around on hold all day. But for now everything works, and I've been having a good time practicing on the organ as it should work, so thank you! The only thing left to do is to get the program to autostart each time I reboot the organ computer. Thanks! Diane

RE: Flic Hub with Mac app
@anton Sorry to flood you with questions and replies, but here goes: Because the IP address has changed, I went back to step 5 of your first set of instructions to see if that would work. It did, and the text edit program produced a number in response to searching on Safari from my phone. I then went back to step 5 of your second set of instructions, made sure that the request was correct, and pressed that flic button, but am getting no response from: 1. text edit, 2. terminal or 3. Hauptwerk (where I assigned the keystroke attached to that button). Am I missing a step or something? Not sure what is supposed to happen as a response from the Mac, but right now I'm not seeing anything, even though I verified the address through my phone. Help! Thanks, Diane

RE: Flic Hub with Mac app
@anton I just had an odd thing happen: I double checked the IP address to begin setting up the http request (can I use https?) and I noticed that my IP address has changed from the last time. Only two numbers different, but still - will that present a problem each time this happens? I do know that IP addresses can shift around, but wasn't thinking about how this might affect the Flic button request? Thanks!

RE: Flic Hub with Mac app
@anton Thanks! Working on it all now. Yes, I would like to add the program to Autostart, since I do restart this computer about once a week to clear things. Having that be automatic would be one less thing to start up. Diane

RE: Flic Hub with Mac app
@anton OK - I've gotten through your first set of instructions, and would appreciate help with the next steps to set up the hub. I did do the text edit to make sure that all the buttons were found through the IP address. At least, each input produced something on the text edit screen! I have also installed the Flic app on my phone. Thanks!

RE: Flic Hub with Mac app
@anton Thank you! I will work on this part this morning and report back to you for part two if I have trouble setting up the hub. In either case, I'll let you know what happens. I appreciate the effort you have taken to set this up for me!

RE: Flic Hub with Mac app
@anton Thanks so much! Here are the keystrokes for buttons 1-18 (note: they won't make sense to you necessarily, because I have other keystrokes assigned to an x-keys stick, and I also ended up rearranging some after earlier assignments):
Button 1=8, 2=9, 3=b, =n, 5=m, 6=j, 7= k, 8=l, 9=z, 10=x, 11=c, 12=e, 13=r, 14=v, 15=q, 16=w, 17=6, 18=7.
The hub is currently wired via ethernet into the router, which is not in the same room as the organ - they are currently on opposite sides of the house, but use the same wifi. I can move the hub back to the organ computer though, if needed. And it's not a problem that I know of to assign an auto-start to a server program.
Does this mean that I won't use Keyboard Maestro for the integration? Just wondering.
Thanks!
Diane
