    I would like to be able to determine if a Flic Duo is on the wall or handheld in FlicScript.

    I see there is gesture and orientation (x, y, and z dict) attributes, but I'm not certain exactly what orientation parameters are best to accurately determine if a Flic Duo is currently mounted on the wall.

    Is it possible to add a definitive position attribute (or something similar gesture) to know if a Flic Duo is currently on the wall? Or, would it be possible to share the exact orientation conditions that y'all use internally when someone configures an action through the app to determine if the Flic Duo is on the wall or handheld?

    I’m working with a Flic 2 button and a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, using the fliclib-linux-hci Git SDK.

    I successfully built my own Debian package from the SDK and installed it on the Pi:

    Package:
    flicd_1.0-1_arm64.deb

    The daemon installs and runs correctly. Below is the systemd service I’m using:

    cat /etc/systemd/system/flicd.service

    [Unit]
    Description=Flic Button Daemon
    After=bluetooth.target
    Requires=bluetooth.target

    [Service]
    Type=simple
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/flicd -f /var/lib/flicd/flic.sqlite3
    Restart=always
    RestartSec=3
    User=root

    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target

    Pairing and button events work fine, so communication with the button is confirmed.

    Issue

    I’m trying to read RSSI (signal strength) from the Flic 2 button, or otherwise estimate distance between the Pi and the button.

    I’ve tried multiple code variants (both modifying the SDK and external BLE approaches), but I’m unable to retrieve:

    RSSI values

    Any distance-related data

    It seems like RSSI is either not exposed through the SDK, or not available during normal operation.

    Questions

    Is RSSI data available at all from Flic 2 via fliclib-linux-hci?

    If not, is there an alternative supported way to estimate proximity or distance?

    Does the Flic firmware intentionally block RSSI access for power or privacy reasons?

    Has anyone successfully retrieved RSSI from a Flic 2 on Linux/Raspberry Pi?

    Any guidance, confirmation, or examples would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello,

    I have purchased several Flic hubs, Buttons, Twists and trying to get them integrated into Home Assistant.

    When the sales pitch originally went out for the Flic Twist .. there was a carrot dangled that Home Assistant support may be considered .. since then .. nothing ..

    Can we please, please, please get any clarity if your are even close, or considering any updates on a native Flic integration for Home Assistant to support your Buttons and Twist?

    I had my Matter Bridge commissioned to my Flic hub and all working great,

    Accidentally I managed to decommision the bridge from the flic fabric via the iOS Matter settings but it didn't remove from the flic app.

    Now I'm in a state where the flic app thinks there is a bridge (and all its associated devices) there but it shows as offline and I can't remove it.

    I managed to recommision the Bridge back to flic but now I have a duplicate set of 22 device in my list!

    Is there a way I can remove the old bridge from the Flic Hub?
