Thought I post the how-to with visuals on connecting my Flic Hub 2 LR with buttons to the Homey Pro. I forgot how it worked and the info/app was not clear at all - so here is a report of the “How I did it” for next time I forget Hope you find it usefull too.
I AM NOT THE FLIC APP BUILDER, just a user… <
First I have Homey Pro, Flic Hub 2 LR and some buttons:
Have the Flic Hub and buttons up and running.
Add a button to the Flic hub.
if you add a Button to the Flic hub give it a simpe name, no spaces.
add as actions the HTTP “Internet Request” and save it for now
Click - goto settings right top corner
Name the button, add it to a zone, change icon etc.
Click - goto advanced settings
Now here you see the webhook addresses generated that we need to copy later into the HTTP internet request setting of the Flic button action later
Have the Flic Hub button app open next to your Homey app (to switch easy)
Add the exact name where it says “Pending” of the button you setup in Flic
Save it all
Repeat this step for each action you want to define on the button (click, double…):
-Switch to the Flic Hub app and open the button you named in Homey
-Select the action and copy paste the full webhook line from Homey app settings to the Flic Hub Button “Internet Request” line settings. Make sure you select and copy the FULL webook, standard it selects just a part (if needed copy it first to Notepad to check - the URL should look like this:
Hi Dennis,
Did you find a way to resolve the error?
I have the same now after I moved to a new house (with the same flic, homey, etc.).
Many Rhanks! Alex
Also posted this on the flic community, but maybe a reply on this topic can also be helpful…
Hi,
I have two flic buttons which I want to use to connect control devices or flows on/in/connected to my Homey Pro (2023). I do not have the flic hub, but installed the flic app on my iPhone. As far as i understood, my phone can also be the “hub”.
I was able to pair the buttons in the iPhone app, and also installed the flic app on the Homey Pro. Furthermore I followed the instructions on this page to connect the webhooks:
However, I have a question and an issue where someone might have answers to:
Question: can I connect the flic button directly to the Homey without having my phone nearby to use it? Eg, if I am not at home, can anyone else use the flic button to start flows or control devices paired to my Homey? That is something that I was not able to find anywhere.
Issue: when I use the iPhone app to “click”, I am able to start flows or control devices paired to my Homey. But clicking the actual button does not do a thing. It flashes green when I push the button (while my phone is within a few centimeters). Unfortunately, nothing is triggered on the Homey if I push the button itself. What am I doing wrong? Anyone?
HI all, I am sorry if I do not reply with helpfull follow up answers here to my initial “experience documentation” on Flic config. I personally stopped using my Flic setup so I cannot test any (new) issues. I also have not checked my “experience documentation” based on latest Flic or Homey API’s and configs since.
Feel free to extend and improve the help info here. But I cannot provide Flic improvements here anymore. Sorry and thanks
That “Flic App” plugin in Homey is not an official one by us. It appears to simply set up a web hook which can then be triggered as a normal http request.
We already have our own Homey integration directly inside the Flic app which is able to execute scenes/flows in a Homey, by authenticating the Homey user inside the Flic app.
If you have a Flic hub, then clicking the button will still work if the person with the phone leaves the house.
Currently, there is no good way to connect a Flic button directly to the Homey device. We did some attempts some time ago together with Homey but their Bluetooth stack was not good enough to handle triggering devices.
Maybe someone knows this. Sinds 2 days I have problems with the Flic buttons and Flows. I am using the Homey integration in the Flic app and it was working fine, but sinds 2 days I have problems. Flows are not started. I see in the Flic app that the button is pushed but notting is activated.
When I deleted the push actions and add the push action the flow is working fine but after a day or 2 it is not working. Have someone this problem or a fix?
Hope you find it usefull too.
