@Emil Sorry. Didn't write that it's when I'm in my car on my way home.😉

I would like to be able to determine if a Flic Duo is on the wall or handheld in FlicScript.
I see there is gesture and orientation (x, y, and z dict) attributes, but I'm not certain exactly what orientation parameters are best to accurately determine if a Flic Duo is currently mounted on the wall.
Is it possible to add a definitive position attribute (or something similar gesture) to know if a Flic Duo is currently on the wall? Or, would it be possible to share the exact orientation conditions that y'all use internally when someone configures an action through the app to determine if the Flic Duo is on the wall or handheld?

Hey there, about 6 months ago I started having weird behavior on one smartplug attached light. It would turn on spontaneously, or when it was on it would brighten on its own. I contacted the OEM of the smartplug (Leviton) to see if there's a way they can tell what prompted it- a Matter command, or a Leviton command, or something else. They said they would turn on logging. I contacted them a couple times with specific dates and times, but they never got back to me. The other day it got really bad- would turn on; i would turn it off with the flic button; it would go back on. Then something dawned on me- I had seen behavior like this when I just had the Twist sitting on my desk. If I placed something down hard on the desk, the light would brighten. Annoying!! (Flic, fix that too!) I then mounted it under a cabinet on my desktop hutch. That behavior stopped, and only does it when I close that cabinet door hard.
So I tried something- I took the batteries out of the Twist, and VIOLA! the light stopped turning itself. Put them back in, and the lights went into zombie mode again. Did that several teams to confirm it was in fact the twist doing it. Waited a day, put them back in, same issue. Oh well, it's 18 months old now, I guess I'll just order a new one (I ordered two 😞 ). A couple days later, before trashing the old one, I had a thought- maybe this is low battery behavior? So I got out a fresh pair of AAs and put them in- and the lights behaved as expected! Figured it was the batteries. But then I had ANOTHER thought (I gotta stop that) and retrieved the old batteries from the wastebin and put them back in- and now the light is behaving normally.
So I guess my question is: is this a hardware issue with this particular Twist? Is if firmware? If so, then others should be experiencing this issue.
Lastly, I'm wondering if there's any logging or diagnostics in my hub (I have a mini) that would've helped me troubleshoot this way back when.
Thoughts anyone? Thanks for reading! -
I’m working with a Flic 2 button and a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, using the fliclib-linux-hci Git SDK.
I successfully built my own Debian package from the SDK and installed it on the Pi:
Package:
flicd_1.0-1_arm64.debThe daemon installs and runs correctly. Below is the systemd service I’m using:
cat /etc/systemd/system/flicd.service
[Unit]
Description=Flic Button Daemon
After=bluetooth.target
Requires=bluetooth.target[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/flicd -f /var/lib/flicd/flic.sqlite3
Restart=always
RestartSec=3
User=root[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.targetPairing and button events work fine, so communication with the button is confirmed.
Issue
I’m trying to read RSSI (signal strength) from the Flic 2 button, or otherwise estimate distance between the Pi and the button.
I’ve tried multiple code variants (both modifying the SDK and external BLE approaches), but I’m unable to retrieve:
RSSI values
Any distance-related data
It seems like RSSI is either not exposed through the SDK, or not available during normal operation.
Questions
Is RSSI data available at all from Flic 2 via fliclib-linux-hci?
If not, is there an alternative supported way to estimate proximity or distance?
Does the Flic firmware intentionally block RSSI access for power or privacy reasons?
Has anyone successfully retrieved RSSI from a Flic 2 on Linux/Raspberry Pi?
Any guidance, confirmation, or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance! -
I had my Matter Bridge commissioned to my Flic hub and all working great,
Accidentally I managed to decommision the bridge from the flic fabric via the iOS Matter settings but it didn't remove from the flic app.
Now I'm in a state where the flic app thinks there is a bridge (and all its associated devices) there but it shows as offline and I can't remove it.
I managed to recommision the Bridge back to flic but now I have a duplicate set of 22 device in my list!
Is there a way I can remove the old bridge from the Flic Hub?
