@ledtear are you using the lifx cloud action or the lifx lan action? Are the lights already on the same wifi (they need to be set up using the lifx app first)? What model of the lifx do you have?

RE: Flic Hub LR and Home Assistant
@stevehooper yeah we should really try to add a direct Home Assistant integration from the Flic hub someday, since it is so popular...
In the meantime, can you use the Internet Request action in our app to send a simple http request to your device running Home Assistant maybe?

RE: Button presses do nothing in HomeKit
@cmaddennj does the button "wobble" in the Home app when you physically press it?

RE: Hue problems
@bogh-andersen likely the ip address of the hue bridge has changed. Rescan the hue bridge in the flic app while connected to the flic hub and reassign the button actions to the correct bridge.

RE: Hacking the flic hub
@macopoulos we released the hub sdk a few years ago. You can find it here: https://flic.io/flic-hub-sdk

RE: Buttons work sometimes, sometimes not. Flash red.
@steve-2 Do you have Flic 1st generation buttons or Flic 2? They have different number of LED colours and behave differently.
On Flic 2, the button will blink two short red blinks when pressed and connected if the battery voltage is low, in that case please try to insert a newer battery.

RE: Flic HomeKit pairing code
It sounds like a good idea to add an option to disable certificates. We already have that in the Internet Request action in the Flic app. I'll add it to our todo list.
The hub sdk is just a "static site" so you should be able to download the relevant files and host it from your own computer.

RE: WPA2-Enterprise (PEAP)
@leo exactly what kind of authentication mechanism are you using? For example PEAP has different techniques such as credential based authentication and username / password based authentication.
Knowing what our customers use can help us prioritise in the future.

RE: Flic Hub SDK errors when setting UDP setMulticastTTL and setTTL
@ksportz the ttl thing has been fixed and will be rolled out in the next firmware of the hub. The thing that only 36 packets could be sent should also be fixed and included in the next fw.

RE: Flic HomeKit pairing code
@ariel We are working on improving the hub sdk and have some bug fixes we are about to roll out. If you have a concrete example of sample code that doesn't work as it should, feel free to post it so that we can have a look.
The HTTP Request action does not go through any cloud. You can for example use local IP addresses in the URL.
I'm not sure if we can do anything regarding Homekit unfortunately since we have some quite strict rules from Apple that we need to follow.

RE: Flic HomeKit pairing code
@ariel we use Homekit in-field provisioning which means there is no QR code but instead credentials are transferred from the Flic hub through the Flic app to the Apple Home app.
For now there is no way to retrieve the setup code and thus you can't use any other Homekit controller except for Apple's own.
I suggest you to use alternative methods such as HTTP Request with a web hook in Home Assistant. I haven't tested this but feels like something like that should work. You could also use our hub sdk to implement something low level.

RE: Flic Hub 1st Gen, won't factory reset
@oli could be something that broke inside. You could file a support case at https://flic.io/support.

RE: Can I minimize the Bluetooth Delay?
@leralfonso the bluetooth version is irrelevant. What is relevant are the connection parameters. The default in our apps/sdks are balanced to get an acceptable delay vs. battery life. You haven't said exactly how you communicate with flic (our app, or sdks, something else) so can't give you more advise right now.

RE: Frustrated Alexa is not finding flic devices
@ryan-0 have you looked at https://flic.io/alexa/setup? The important thing is to add the Alexa action in the Flic app to your button configuration.

RE: Firmware Changelog
@Brooke generally we update the hub and apps at the same time when we have a new feature, so you can check the changelog in the apps.

RE: Hub not sending Internet http Request after reboot
@alces as you can see on https://superuser.com/questions/1581627/where-is-my-lan-hostname-stored, hostnames on the LAN is not really a "basic feature of networking" since there are like four different "standards" for that. Currently, the only thing you should rely on is that you use a FQDN that the DNS resolver the DHCP server gives the hub will resolve.

RE: Hub not sending Internet http Request after reboot
@alces with hostname, do you mean the computer name on the local network? In that case, it's not something we support currently so don't expect it to work.
