Hi,
One of the most recently added providers is the Matter provider. Matter is a common protocol that many devices now implement so that every manufacturer doesn't have to provide their own proprietary protocol.
Matter is supported by e.g. Govee and Shelly.
@gj The new apps now display the serial number of the buttons in the button info.
@gordon-0 As the "Internet Request" action in the app is designed, it unfortunately does not contain any type of cryptographic signature that you can verify to make sure the request (when received) itself actually originated from the press of the button. The only thing you can do is to provide credentials or something in the headers of the Internet Request, but those you have to design and implement yourself.
@gordon-0 I was under the impression you wanted to use WebBluetooth or something, but maybe you are not? In that case, what is the Flic button connected to?
Not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but the Flic 2 protocol implements security up to the point where the client of the protocol is.
See https://github.com/50ButtonsEach/flic2-documentation/wiki/Flic-2-Protocol-Specification. What you can do is therefore to proxy all GATT packets between your script and a server where you want to terminate the end-to-end communication.
@starstruckpigeon is it the Android or iOS app that is crashing? What app version do you have?
@gj if you give me a list of serial numbers, I can assign a different version of the firmware which includes the serial number in the advertisement name.
Please upgrade to firmware 4.4.6 which does not have this problem.
If you use the device manager, you can manually assign a specific firmware version.
Hi, the latest Flic Hub firmware (4.4.5) now fixes this issue. The apps (in case you connect the Hue Bridge directly to the phone/tablet) will be updated later.
@gj Would you prefer to include e.g. the serial number in the advertising name?
@pociask Hi, we are testing every button at the production site including the battery voltage of the included battery, so we can assure you that no buttons leaving the factory have low voltage. The issues in this thread are related to issues we had with the old Flic 1 and are not relevant for Flic 2. In case a customer notices that the battery drains quicker than expected, we will of course send a replacement.
Hi,
We saw that their new pro bridge was just released. We will buy one to our office next week when it gets released in Sweden and try it out.
You should be able to use their Matter bridge integration though and add it as a Matter device to your Flic Hub by generating a Matter setup code in their app which you can enter into the Flic app when you are connected to a Flic Hub.
Hi,
We have just released a firmware update which should fix this (version 4.4.4).
While connected to a Flic Hub, go to settings and press "check for new firmware" in order to upgrade.
@knewe Thanks, I got your video.
After you have pressed Save & disconnect, and the configuration has been saved successfully, the button is now ready to be used as a keyboard on any Bluetooth compatible device such as a PC, tablet or phone. To use it as such a device, you must manually go into your system's Bluetooth settings and add it as such a device, even if you want to use the Flic button on the same device (i.e. the one that has the Flic app).
Note that after you have pressed Save & disconnect and have been taken back to the home screen of the app, you must NOT press the icon representing the button again, since that will reconnect the Flic button to the Flic app and hence change the mode of the Flic button from a keyboard to a normal Flic button. You should only do this when you for some reason want to reconfigure the Flic button again.
@knewe I don't really understand why it's not working for you. Maybe you can shoot a video or something from the point where you press save & disconnect and then try to pair the device "FLIC" that should appear in the system's bluetooth settings when you search for devices. (Note that you need to make a short press on the Flic button to make it advertising)
@knewe You need to follow this step where you click "Save & Disconnect". Otherwise it won't work:
@werner-kneile Did you press "Save & Disconnect"? This will disconnect your button as a Flic button. The Flic will instead advertise itself as a normal Bluetooth keyboard and you need to add it using the system's Bluetooth settings.
@hmmwhatsthisdo Could you elaborate what you did when you unregistered the hub from device manager? There should be a red trash can icon which will delete the hub. Make sure you are not just removing it from a group or similar but remove it completely.
@hmmwhatsthisdo Sorry, I was maybe too fast typing my reply or not clear enough. The hubs on the Device Manager path have slightly different firmware builds compared to firmwares for non-device manager. Therefore, the "latest stable" on Device Manager does not necessarily correspond to the same latest stable version for the normal consumer firmware as we require different testing for Device Manager hubs vs consumer hubs. The Device Manager firmwares might also lag a bit in regards to functionality compared to the consumer version.
That said, I now see that the Twist features have yet not reached the firmware used for Device Manager hubs. I will escalate this issue and try to get it resolved ASAP. In the meantime I suggest that you deactivate Device Manager for this hub if you want to try out the feature.
