Flic Hub LR User manual

Flic Hub LR

Getting started
To get started make sure that you have:
1. An active internet connection (Ethernet or WiFi)
2. A phone with the Flic App installed
3. A Flic button (”Flic”) within Bluetooth range of the Flic Hub LR (”Flic
Hub”)
The phone is only necessary during the setup process.
Once the setup is complete you no longer need the phone to enjoy Flic!

Power
Connect the Micro USB cable and an external power adapter to the Flic
Hub. The Flic Hub will turn on, indicated by a bright red LED.
After approximately 15 seconds the LED will dim and become
discoverable. Please follow the instructions in the app to complete the
initial setup.
We recommend that you use an adapter with at least 1A output. An
adapter with less than the recommended current rating may result in
unstable behavior.

Internet connection
To connect the Flic Hub to your WiFi network open the Flic App and follow
the setup steps to get the Flic Hub connected to the internet. Alternatively,
you can simply connect the Flic Hub, via an Ethernet cable.
If the Flic Hub doesn’t have an active internet connection you will not be
able to make use of all the available features.
To check if the internet connection for the Flic Hub is active you should
open the Flic Hub settings page in the app. Look for the network settings
section and press test.

Pairing your Flic
To pair a brand new Flic to the Flic Hub, simply tap the ‘+’ button in the
bottom right corner of the Flic Hub app page. After pressing the Flic the
pairing should take a few seconds.
If you are pairing a Flic that was previously paired then you will need to
remove it from that device first. You can do this by navigating to the app
page of the Flic you want to remove, tapping the gear icon, and selecting
the ‘Remove’ option. Now you are able to pair this button as described
above.

IR accessory setup
Connect your Flic IR Accessory to the Flic Hub via the 2.5mm connector
and place the IR blaster, in the direction of the receiving device(s).
The range of the IR signal is ~10m. For best results ensure a clear line of
sight between the IR blaster and the receiving device.
To setup your first action, simply select the IR blaster action within the Flic
Hub app page. Follow the app instructions to start recording IR signals
from any of your remotes!

IR accessory mounting
The Flic IR Accessory uses the same reusable adhesive as Flic.
Once you have all your actions setup you can simply peel the label and
secure the IR blaster in the best location to serve all your devices.
If the adhesive starts to lose its stickiness then you can clean it
1. Remove it from the IR base and rinse with water.
2. Give it a rub and rinse again.
3. Leave it to air-dry and it will return to full stickiness.
Do not apply solvents, chemicals, or abrasive cleaning products as this will
damage the adhesive.

Audio
Connect any speaker to the Flic Hub via the 3.5mm audio jack connector.
This allows for the Flic Hub to play sound as feedback to know that a Flic
has been pressed.

Apple HomeKit requirements
The Flic Hub can be configured to forward push events from Flic to
HomeKit. This is done individually for each Flic. Keep in mind that a Flic
configured for HomeKit can not be combined with any other Flic actions.
To get started make sure that you have:
1. An active internet connection on the Flic Hub.
2. An iOS device with the Flic app installed.
3. An active internet connection on the iOS device.
4. A Flic already paired with the Flic Hub.
5. A HomePod, Apple TV, or iPad set up as a home hub.
If you have not already set up HomeKit on your network, then it is
recommended that you do so before proceeding with Flic. This can be
done using Apple’s Home app.
To control this HomeKit-enabled
accessory, the latest version of iOS
or iPadOS is recommended.

Apple HomeKit setup
It is critical that both the Flic Hub and the iOS device have an active
internet connection during the setup process.
1. Using the Flic app, connect to the Fluc Hub and select the Flic that you
wish to add to HomeKit.
2. In the Flic detail view, there will be a toggle switch called “Add to
HomeKit”. Toggle this switch to the on position.
3. Before the Flic is added, the Flic Hub itself first needs to be paired with
HomeKit. You will be prompted to do so at this point. Follow the in-app
instructions.
4. Once paired, please continue the setup using Apple’s Home app.
Note: The HomeKit setup process is only necessary the very first time you
add a Flic. For any additional Flic that you wish to add, moving the toggle
switch to the on-position will automatically share it with HomeKit.
To control this HomeKit-enabled
accessory, the latest version of iOS
or iPadOS is recommended.

Factory reset
If, for any reason, you must perform a factory reset you need to press the
pinhole button for between 10-15 seconds. By pushing the button, all your
account settings will be lost and the Flic Hub will return to default.
If you remove the Flic Hub from your account and reconnect to it then you
will be prompted to use the Factory Password when pairing. This can be
found on the label on the underside of your Flic Hub.
If during the initial setup you assign your own password and forget this
then you must perform a factory reset to gain access again.
