FYI that @Emil responded in another thread on timing. Since it's weeks and not months, I'd guess/hope late may/early june?

@Emil Thanks for response! Good to know its still coming.
@Emil Would really love an update on either support for Flic Hub turn events for the Twist or at a minimum what you mentioned here

Http Request at every step. Currently the number of steps is 4 but we intend to increase it to 12.
I come to the forum nearly everyday hopeful to see an announcement for these things. I'm sure i'm not the only one. If you add the twist events, I'll be happy to share my code for integrations and again I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be happy to do that. Let's unleash the power of this thing!

I have 6 twists and 30+ buttons (lost count). Clearly, I'm a crazy supporter of Flic products, my only desire that hasn't been fulfilled is more updates on the progress for improvements.

@Emil Any update on when 12 steps might be available? That's what i desired here https://community.flic.io/topic/18405/flic-twist-feature-request-advanced-position-triggers-actions?lang=en-US
and would unlock a nice amount of capabilities with the twist.
@ai-please-ai Maybe you figured this out already... but this the data i see sent by default from a button http put action.

Hey @flicflop!
I nearly have a workaround for getting the twist events on the hub. Maybe you have some thoughts on it https://community.flic.io/topic/18405/flic-twist-feature-request-advanced-position-triggers-actions
Summary
Be able to select an advanced mode for Twist / Push Twist that allows the user to assign an “actions” trigger to any of the 12 available positions.
Note
This would be similar to the scene blender, except the user could select any of the 12 positions with the more simple goal of assigning an action to each (no blend functionality).
Basic Use Case
Set each of the 12 positions to sonos playlists and twist to the desired playlist.
Advanced Use Case
Be able to make internet requests from each of the positions in the twist for home automation uses.
How I got here
I thought this feature was already available. Without the availability to access the twist rotation events in the flicsdk I came up with what I thought would be another way to accomplish this. I used “net” from the flichub SDK TCP module to start a basic webserver on the hub, from there I thought I could then send requests from my twists to the flichub web server to accomplish my goal. Unfortunately, the above configuration feature doesn’t seem available and I could only use the “scene blender” to accomplish it at the 4 available points.
It nearly works perfectly… kudos for sending the timestamp, serial, name in the headers…
Flic hub web server output from twist requests:
Although my desire is advanced, I’m pretty sure this would be a very good feature for the average user as well.
If there is another way to accomplish this, would love to hear it!
Having a lot of fun using flic! Thank you!
