@stevehooper yeah we should really try to add a direct Home Assistant integration from the Flic hub someday, since it is so popular...
In the meantime, can you use the Internet Request action in our app to send a simple http request to your device running Home Assistant maybe?
We are slowly rolling this out in different regions. Stay tuned.
@giannis-yt I would guess at the moment the Raspberry Pi Zero Wireless is one of the cheapest options.
@steveff Our Matter integration is just around the corner. For the Twist this is probably most relevant for lights, as no speakers I know yet support Matter.
What we also have in the pipeline for Twist is e.g. more configurable steps (4 -> 12) for Advanced Dimming/Scene Blender so that you can trigger an action (e.g. Alexa) with higher resolution and before as well as Hub SDK features for the Twist so that you can build custom integrations.
Spotify has an API (over cloud) that we could potentially use for controlling the volume, but we are not sure if the latency will be low enough to make this action have a good user experience. We also don't like that they don't provide any means to "push out" the volume status when it is changed so that the LEDs on the Twist could update accordingly (https://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-for-Developers/Access-to-websockets/td-p/4955299).
@abboberg All our firmwarers are auto-updated. In some cases we have assigned a specific firmware to specific people on request. Please reach out to us if you want to go back to the public release track.
The current hub fw version is 4.2.11.
Usually when we update the hub firmware we also update the apps. In the apps you can see a Change log in the settings menu.
@hello_marley the ball is moving according to plan. Please stay tuned 
Have you followed the tutorial? Did you register the correct flags according to this?
What you should do is to first call bind, followed by setBroadcast(true) on the socket. Then you can send messages using send.
FYI, the API is made to be compatible with Node.js API https://nodejs.org/api/dgram.html.
Hi. You need to manually construct the Authorization header. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication.
Are you using this skill? https://www.amazon.com/Shortcut-Labs-AB-Flic/dp/B08WXGP16H
You need to log in with your Flic account in that skill.
What is the serial number of your hub? Is it connected to the internet?
Hi, we have found the issue causing this in the Hub Firmware and a fix will be included in the next firmware release.
@Rice-Eater The app will show a red low battery indicator when the voltage is low. The Flic 2 button will also show two short red LED blinks when pressed if the voltage is low.
@buckyswider did you finish the pair device again or didn't you have to since you noticed it became online again?
@mattbat123 You can have multiple hubs but they will act as separate hubs, meaning you need to configure every button and their actions on all hubs. Once configured, the button can be moved around and when you press it, the fastest hub to react will connect to the button and execute the configured action.
Can you tell me which device type you are currently using as Home Hub for your Apple Home setup?
Also, when you try to save a config and it doesn't work, does it fail regardless of which (target) device you select that the button should control?
Thanks!
@kerry-thacher Thanks for the update. I will update you whenever I get a reply from our Apple contact.
@kerry-thacher said in New user - button and HomeKit problem:
Sir, with all due respect, I am not confused. Is it your policy to insult customers when your product does not work correctly?
It was never any intention to insult anyone. What I meant was that at least I find the UI very confusing since as you say, when you press X number of accessories, the list is empty, as well as it is quite hard to find the accessories in general that are bridged. Therefore, I assume you feel the same confusion as I do regarding this point. If we can get more people to complain to Apple, it is more likely they can act, since as you say, they typically don't care if only one person complains.
@kerry-thacher said in New user - button and HomeKit problem:
The other 2 will not configure in HomeKit .
Do you mean that these do not appear at all (not included in number of accessories under the Flic hub bridge in the Home app) or that you get a mysterious error message when you try to save a configuration? FYI, I forwarded your screenshot to our contact person at Apple. I hope he will give a better answer than "try factory reset" this time.
@buckyswider The only thing I can think of is if any other app (Alexa or Leviton app) has thrown out the Flic Matter connection (Fabric) to the Flic Hub. In that case you would need to add it again to the Flic hub.
@kerry-thacher Nice that it worked out for you!
Just sort out a few points:
@kerry-thacher said in New user - button and HomeKit problem:
FYI, I had submitted a problem report. Your support team got back to me, and I explained how I fixed the problem. They then told me that what I did was the same approach they have suggested to others. They have clearly seen the issue before. In spite of you telling me here, that you have never seen it.
Sorry if I was unclear here. What I meant was that we have not the observed or reproduced the same issue at our office with our own eyes, when we have tested Apple Home ourselves. The only thing our support team can say is that other users have noticed the issue and how they fixed it.
@kerry-thacher said in New user - button and HomeKit problem:
You have said more than once, that your responsibility ends with events being sent to HomeKit. That cannot be true. Your devices need to accept configuration instructions from HomeKit. That seems to be where the failure is. They are apparently refusing to accept HomeKit configuration requests. At least until your customer is forced to completely start over.
You might think that the configuration you enter in Homekit (i.e. what actions should be done on press/double press/long press etc.) is sent to us (the Flic Hub) but that is not how it works. It is more or less only a one way communication from the Flic Hub to the Apple Home hub, containing a list of the buttons as well as events being sent whenever the button is pressed (press/double press/long press). The configuration itself is stored at Apple's side. It is also the Apple Home hub that decides and takes action when it receives a press, typically executing whatever action the user has configured. The Flic hub has no idea what you have assigned to the various press/room configurations and it gets no information or message when the configuration is changed in the Home app. If the configuration cannot be saved, it is the Apple Home hub (or iCloud or whatever) that doesn't accept the configuration.
@kerry-thacher said in New user - button and HomeKit problem:
You are squandering customer goodwill with this wrong “not our problem” attitude. These bad experiences will continue, if you refuse to even investigate this. Your engineering team should be made aware of this, so there is some hope of fixing whatever is going on here.
Every time we have tried to inform our contact at Apple about various problems our customers have in Apple Home, when it is clear that the problem is not on our side, we have never got a satisfying response. They typically say that they cannot reproduce it. They also never tell us the reason why various problems can happen. So it is hard for us to do anything unfortunately more than informing Apple about the issues. We can only keep telling our users to factory reset the whole setup and hope for the best when something like this happens, but I know it's not a good long-term solution. Note that a factory reset of the Flic Hub also removes the configuration in Apple Home, so that is most likely why it started working for you, since the Apple configuration was reset.
@kerry-thacher said in New user - button and HomeKit problem:
On a more positive note, the product is fantastic when it actually works. Which is the current status.
Thanks!
@kerry-thacher said in New user - button and HomeKit problem:
One out of six. I removed the battery and tried again. That worked.
I don't really know about this one. That should only affect the signal between the button and the Flic hub. The connectivity status of the buttons are not sent over Homekit.
