Hi!
A quick update on this, we discovered a minor difference in how the LIFX buld acts depending on model, which created this issue.
We have now fixed this so we will soon release a new firmware update which makes this work!

Hi!
I can only say that it is coming "very soon".

Hi!
Yes, there is!
You can use Flic Universal to configure the Flic button to act as a Bluetooth keyboard and program different key combinations to be triggered when you press it.

@MagAa Hi!
I think there should be a way to solve the issue you are having, but yes it would require some programming, but if I know more about the specific scenario maybe I can help!
The main question is what you would like to use instead of a computer to connect the button to, are you thinking a phone or a Flic Hub?
In the case of the Flic Hub, it will probably be possible to write a script using our Flic Hub SDK (https://flic.io/flic-hub-sdk) that will send a specific OSC command to a host.
If you want to use a phone, you will have to use the approach suggested by emil and run an HTTP server on a computer somewhere that translates the messages to OSC. This will probably be a bit more complicated.
@oscar Hi!
Sorry to hear this. Yes, the pairing dialogue not showing up is the issue here but we are not quite sure what causes this.
Could you please try the following procedure and see if it fixes your issue:
Go to System Settings -> Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth off and then back.
Remove any Flic device in the list if there are a.
Go to System Settings -> Security & Integrity -> Integrity
In the left pane, select Bluetooth.
Make sure Flic is in the list and has a checkmark.
If Flic already has a checkmark, uncheck it and re-check it again.
Please let me know if this worked for you!
Kind regards
@thecudes Thank you for submitting the log! After having a closer look we see that it tries to connect, but fails stating that it is currently connected to another device.
Is this a Flic 2? (LED in the edge of press area)?
When pressing, make sure it is pulsating with a yellow light.
Also, when connecting, macOS will pop up a dialogue asking to confirm pairing. Do you get this dialogue?
To make sure you could perform a factory reset to clear any old pairings that might interfere.
Open the battery hatch by twisting the back side.
Remove the battery for 10 seconds, then re-insert it and immediately press and hold the Flic for 10 seconds. When releasing it should blink red fast 3 times.
Pressing again should show a red fade, this indicates that it has no pairings.
Now try to add it to the Flic app on your mac.
Please let me know if this helped!
@thecudes Hi!
Sorry to hear this, it would be very helpful if you could submit a Bluetooth Log so we can take a closer look of what is causing this.
First, recreate the issue by trying to connect a Flic, then in the top menu, select Flic -> Submit BT Log. Write "Stuck on 99%" as description.
Once again, sorry for everyone experiencing this issue! Hopefully a BT log will help us track this issue down!
@oskar Oh, and also make sure you have deleted any old pairings in the Bluetooth device list i System Preferences!
@nikolai-misc Hmm, this sounds very strange. I am currently testing this on macOS Monterey 12.2.1 and I cannot seem to be able to reproduce the problems mentioned in this thread.
Does the Flic connect to other devices like an iPhone or Android without issues, are the problems exclusive for the mac app?
There should be absolutely no problem moving the Flic from one device to another so there is definitely something strange going on.
Just to be super clear, this is how connecting a previously paired button should look like:
Make sure the Flic app for mac is at version 2.1.0.
When pressed, the button should pulsate with yellow 2 times, this means it is trying to connect to something.
Press the "Add Flic" button in the mac app.
Press and hold the Flic for about 6 seconds.
The Flic should flash Green and connect to the mac app.
If you see any other LED behaviour, like fast red flashes, it might be low on battery.
I have some questions in order to narrow down the issue.
@guitarnstuff Hi!
The MIDI features can be found in the bottom of the action list, under "Flic Universal". Note that you must have a Flic 2 connected directly to your phone (not hub) to configure MIDI.
You can read more and find tutorials here:

@daniel-1 Hi! Sorry about this!
Please make sure that the button is deleted from any other device, it sounds a bit like two different devices is competing over the connection.
Please let me know wether this worked!
@oscar-norlin said in Issue, cant see all the actions in iOs app:
no graphic sympol such as Fun, Smart Lights, Smart Home, Media with no symbol are not visable to me.
Hi!
It sounds like you are either connected to a Flic Hub, or that you have a "Flic Single" (no flic logo but an icon printed on it).
Flic Universal can only be accessed when a Flic 2 is connected directly to the phone. Make sure you are using a Flic 2 and it shows up under the "PHONE" tab in the Flic main screen.
Please let me know if this helped!
