what is needed to get the following plugin to work in Pimatic ? ( got a button from my boss )
https://github.com/hongkongkiwi/pimatic-flic-buttons

If I install it manually its producing the following output:

     [npm WARN unmet dependency /home/pi/pimatic-app/node_modules/pimatic-          echo/node_modules/hapi/node_modules/subtext/node_modules/pez requires boom@'3.x.x' but will load
    npm WARN unmet dependency /home/pi/pimatic-app/node_modules/pimatic-   echo/node_modules/hapi/node_modules/boom,

@passie This plugin has not been released.
Maybe you’re lucky and get some feedback from the developer @hongkongkiwi soon

well got one from my boss also…

I think this button has one major dependency… bluetooth module…

But was also looking for a plugin… but no succes yet.

I was able to get it working with the above mentioned url, Though this requires manual steps.
Would be great if hongkongkiwi releases this the official way.

Perhaps the following Heise article is interesting for German users. https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Deutscher-Zoll-laesst-smarten-Knopf-nicht-ins-Land-3067458.html

Apparently, the button is on sale at Gravis, though.

Hi,

You could use it with the API of pimatic, same as i do.

f.ex. to play some music through the sonos players:
http://pimatic-username:pimatic-password@IP:Port/api/device/sonos/play

or as a presence dummy sensor:
http://pimatic-username:pimatic-password@IP:Port/api/device/presence-stuff-raoul/changePresenceTo?presence=true

maybe more complicated but work as expected.

Would you mind explaining how you got the Flic button working with Pimatic ?
