The Android designers don't like third party apps to unlock the phone. They are putting more and more restrictions over time, especially now with the 8 and 9 updates. Last time we got an email from Google Play complaining that we used the Lock/turn off the Screen feature in Android.

Anyway, the only way we could solve this would be to be a HID device (like a keyboard), so we simulate Enter Enter which would unlock the phone unless you have a PIN or similar. But we evaluated that and came to the conclusion that HID works very poorly in Android if we at the same time would like Flic to be an ordinary BLE device usable by the Flic app. (It's like the OS takes over the device connection etc., and it interferes with other apps; for example they might hide the on-screen keyboard). However, HID works good enough on iOS so there we use it for a couple of actions.

Can you send a picture of what you mean with "X" in a box? Standby means there is currently no active ongoing Bluetooth connection to the button (although the phone might still listen for the button, waiting to connect, unless you have explicitly disconnected the button (blue symbol) or the button is not paired with the phone (red symbol)).

@marook Which kind of Sonos device do you have? The ones we test with at the office are Sonos Play: 1.

Our VLC action is mainly to control VLC players on (other) computers.
Due to iOS limitations, it is not possible to launch another app from the background, so your suggestion is impossible.

Hi. You need to update to hub firmware version 1.4.1 to work with Sonos devices >= 9.1.

Hi. We currently don't support hidden wifis.

@benkloester Hi. We have fixed the bug with Tasker. The fix will be included in the next app release.

Hi. If you see the LED blink on the hub when you press a button - that means the hub processes the button click. Philips Hue run on the LAN so it doesn't connect any backend servers or so. One reason it might stop to work is if the Hue bridge changes IP addresses (which is up to your router). You could try give it a static IP address.

If you connect to the hub using your phone, your hub will be added to your Flic account, so that when you log in to IFTTT's website, you will be able to see all Flics connected to your hub in the list of Flics when you create or modify an IFTTT applet.

The second step I don't see you have done is in the Flic app add the IFTTT action to the button you want to use IFTTT with. This is so that the hub contacts IFTTT when you press the button.

Hi. Are you talking about Unity for PC or phone/tablet?
