Flic button integration success story

If you have the Flic Hub, you can just configure your buttons to perform Internet Requests (POST) to the Home Assistant REST API, to call specific services (like /api/services/light/toggle) or scripts which you can then customise in the HA UI.

In fact, this is what I am now switching to as flicd and the HA flic integration are wholly unreliable and even have a bug that causes HA to push my server’s load average above 100 and trip a reboot by the load watchdog. (flicd loses the USB BT adapter, at which point HA’s flic integration goes into a loop trying to get button information, eventually crashing the system.)
