@Astro We don't have a voting system unfortunately.

@Astro We have in the backlog to add the feature to play a Sonos Favourite. That way you can set a radio station as a favourite and then start that using Flic.

@stevehurcombe Hi. We will take a look at this when we are back from summer holidays.

@thomas-vorndran Hmm ok... What Hub FW version do you have (and what Hub variant) and what app version?

@stevehurcombe said in Matterbridge, Flic twist and Home Assistant:

Hi,
I've installed Matterbridge, connected it to Home Assistant and I've connected it to the Flic app.

However in the app all the devices show as the name 'Matter device'. What am I doing wrong? Obviously I'm aware that there are two API connections and three developers involved, but I have to start somewhere.

Ok, let's start here then
The name that shows up is read directly from the remote device over the Matter protocol. The name is stored in the NodeLabel attribute in the (Bridged Device) Basic Information cluster. If the name is missing, we try to show something else, like the product name. You can however change the stored name using the Flic app if you go in to the Providers settings and then under Matter. This will send the new name over the Matter protocol to the remote device and it will be stored there.

Since you are using a Bridge, the name is most likely simply stored in the Bridge software. I'm not sure if Matterbridge has a UI to configure the name or not.

Secondly, I've added a Spotify account to Home Assistant, which then appears as a media device. Matter supports Media, can that be enabled for the Flic twist? Then I can use it for volume control and playback and even track\playlist selection.

In my opinion the Media support in Matter is currently not the best. In any case, can you check using the "Matter Other" action to see if it exposes the Level Control cluster (for volume), the Media Playback cluster (for next/previous/skip etc.) and/or the Content Launcher cluster (for launching content either from a search or a URL)?

@thomas-vorndran Sonos will soon require Sonos account authentication for accessing Sonos products. Before this is enforced in a few months, the latest firmware currently requires the user to login using the Sonos account before any action can be saved. So please press "Setup" and then login with your Sonos credentials.

@mosthated Hmm I just tried to reproduce this, but the latency is always instant for me. The LED on the hub should light up when the button is pressed. Does this have the same latency as well? Have you tried any other actions, like turning on some smart light? Just trying to figure out where the issue might be...

@rickard Yes! This will be possible, but note that we have not yet started to ship Flic Duo. We still need to finalize the Hub SDK events for the Duo so I can't give you an example right now. For MQTT itself, please see https://github.com/50ButtonsEach/flic-hub-sdk-mqtt-js.

@mosthated The Android app with this functionality has now been released!

@pianosimon Hi! Are you using Flic Universal or the Flic app for macOS?
