Use the Flicd service with external hub

I dont have access to a bluetooth device on the pc where my HA is running but I do have a flic hub.

Can I use the flic hub and take the ip address of that device to use as the flicd service and integrate into HA?

I’d appreciate if someone could provide an answer to this question too. I’ve just bought a HA Yellow, and my two USB ports are used by z-wave and zigbee dongles. Which means I can’t run the pschmitt’s flicd add-on, as there’s no bluetooth capability in the HA Yellow, and I’m out of ports to add it.

But like the person above, I have the flic hub, and I’d be delighted if I could integrate this somehow…

Any pointers from the HA veterans out there?

I’ll reply to myself as it may help other Newbies looking for an answer to the same question.

There’s a wonderful step-by-step guide to integrating a Flic hub with HA at the following link.

Many thanks to Bruce Hartley who contributed this.
