Description

I've received a Flic Twist early and I'm trying to connect to the diyHue bridge from the Flic app.

The bridge shows up in the app but when clicking the Link button within diyhue when asked to click it in the app, nothing happens.

Not sure if this is on diyHue or the Flic end.

I can confirm connecting Flic to a real physical Hue bridge works fine.

In the video i see no requests from this device to diyhue, it catch the mDNS request locally, but most likely it continue using cloud services witch are not working with diyhue fake hub. You can try to disable the internet, maybe this will force a fallback to LAN pairing instead of cloud pairing.

Update: if you have a smart router/firewall you can also try to block https://discovery.meethue.com

@mariusmotea Thanks for the tip! When I tried blocking internet access, the same happened as in the video above .

With internet access still being off, I tried and could successfully connect the Flic hub with a Hue Bridge (square one with rounded corners).

I've also been able to successfully pair the Flic hub with hass-emulated-hue, however after that even though lights show up in the Flic app nothing happens as I try to control them with the Flic Twist...

I'd love to figure out why pairing with DiyHue won't work as I think this project has much more flexibility than for example the hass-emulated hue mentioned above.

If you have any other tips on how I could troubleshoot this, I'm very thankful 😺

Woop, woop, I was just able to pair the Flic hub with DiyHue 🎉 I believe my DiyHue was running at a different IP than the one I had set in my environment variable. Fixing that did the trick!

Thanks!
