      @eirikaaltvedtf
      Sounds simple, but these are actually hard cases for Flic. Using the hub is quite a limiting factor, as is executing commands on PC coming from cloud. Using the flic hub, you cannot achieve this without creating some external actions.

      There are some utilities for Windows that have been designed for this. For example TRIGGERcmd has quite a simple setup with ready made IFTTT applet you could use, I think more advanced and requiring a bit more setup would be AssistantComputerControl; it might overall be a better solution if you have other smart home devices.

      For the phone it's enough that you download and "always run" IFTTT app there.

      @mitvortrieb Govee lights can typically be controlled using the Matter integration.

      @ys-khoe USB typically delivers 5 volt but flic accepts a range somewhere between 2 and 3.6 volt so you would need to convert the voltage somehow.

      @Emil Thanks Emil,
      Rapid orange flashing (not red).

      Would be nice if you can describe color coding somewhere in manual or better in video.

      @josef-held Hi, you can configure the Flic button as a Bluetooth keyboard with the help of the Flic app, then connect the button directly to the Go Button app.

      See https://flic.io/applications/flic-universal.

      Hi, @Emil
      I have the same issue and it is annoying not to be able to differentiate between enabled and disabled flows or to filter them. But it may not be possible to get that information from Homey.

      In addition to that I have found out that only the first 17 or so flows are listed (based on creation date) so I can not assign any of my recent flow to my flic button because I can't see them in the list 😞

      @philippe-lux-67 Hi!
      Sorry for not getting back, we did have a look at the logs but unfortunately there was nothing we could see that would spark an idea for a potential workaround. We do not have the ability to test or update old versions of our app, so I'm afraid there is not much we can do about this.

      You can with smallish effort accomplish this using Home Assistant, I don't think Flic app nor IFTTT can do this as they would have to know what your Sonos is doing when you execute the action. If it doesn't matter what was happening before the button press, then IFTTT and for example Alexa can be used for this.

      @Emil
      People who have gone Home Assistant path want to use it for their home control, not Flic app. Other apps, such as Flic app, is something they want to get rid. Home Assistant is growing fast and there is a good reason for it - controlling your smart home has become way too spread out and complicated without something like HA.

      People who have Alexa already have Matter controller there, they just want to see the buttons. People who have Google ecosystem already have a matter controller. They too just want to see the buttons. Same with Homekit. Needing anoother controller and app doesn't really work as reasoning as everyone having any kind of smart home setup already have them.

      I can understand the Matter controller path regarding the Twist - it's a pain that Matter doesn't support these kind of products properly yet. But being your own controller is, in the end, a patch for promises made before. I don't think Alexa, Google, Homekit nor Home Assistant users are looking forward to having another ecosystem around to complicate what they want to simplify. And I think lack of enthusiasm for flic's Matter release tells the same story.

      Could be wrong, maybe sales are up like crazy. But it doesn't look like that from stupid users point of view.

      @Emil The permissions I enabled were "Show on Lock screen" and "Display pop-up windows while running in the background". These are shown on a picture here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71449643/how-can-i-get-the-display-pop-up-windows-while-running-in-the-background-and

      You were correct, there's an additional permission to start on boot. It worked similar how described here https://nine-faq.9folders.com/articles/8772-how-to-manage-autostart-service-on-the-xiaomi-devices

      It seems a phone reboot helped.
      Also, https://flic.io/support turns to have self-service troubleshooting which isn't bad.
