@Emil Thanks for your further explanation!

I really hope they will give in to your efforts. Feel free to quote me if they request reasons. I know one of their internal mantras is to make all customers happy… so this issue is probably a good one to remind them of their own "rules".

@Emil Thanks for clarifying this. One question though… did they ask you to implement it that way or did they force you to do so? Obviously they want the user to use their solution (home kit app) instead of yours, regardless wether it is beneficial to the user or not.

In my case it renders the homekit support totally useless. I got a configured working flic button that controls some Trådfri lights and a projector (IR remote). Now I was looking forward to the homekit support to include a smart plug that only supports homekit and as @davylondon mentioned, I wanted just to add Homekit devices to existing flic actions (inside the flic app). In my case said smart plug.

So, @Emil, is there a way that you can extend the homekit support in that way, that we actually can control homekit accessoires inside the flic app and also mix them with existing flic provided features (such as IR or all the other 3rd party implementations)?

Looking forward to a statement from your side!
