> I don’t use the Flic buttons, but why shouldn’t they be able to be used in an AF? What is the problem? There are trigger flow cards (When…) for Click, Double Click and Hold Click available. And I’m pretty sure these trigger cards will also work with an AF.

I’m using the Homey support Flic has built-in to its hubs. Advanced flows aren’t listed in the Flic phone app when you want to connect a type of button press (click, double-click or hold) to a Homey Flow. Not just the above advanced flow, but none of my advanced flows appear.

I think you might be referring to the Homey Flic app which is community-developed. It seemed to me the built-in method provided by Flic would be more dependable (time will tell).

I used that flow card because when I went to add a ‘When’ card to start the flow the only options I get are to start it with a parameter…

 ![FlowOptions](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/6/e6910f0aff4491ce4b14954ba38cb5675e5e73bd.png)

Did I miss something?

I suspect the above two issues are connected. To initiate an advanced flow, I’m guessing Flic would have to request the user to provide a parameter even if not needed - and that would complicate its UI.
