Use Flicd with external hub about home-assistant-addons

[pschmitt]

I own a Flic Hub as well, AFAIK there's no flicd service running on it. HASS' integration cannot make use of the Flic Hub.

Alternatively, you can set up webhook callbacks to get the button press events in Home Assistant. There will be a noticeable delay though.

I also have a Flic hub, I am using it with the webhook callbacks. It works fine, but the configuration of the webhooks in the Flic app is a pain.

If I would connect my Flic buttons directly to my HA running on Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, what can I expect to gain / loose?

I expect to gain easier configuration using HA. Will Flicd somehow let me know that some buttons are about to run out of battery before they actually die? Flic app show empty battery icon on these.

How about BT connection distance / reliability when comparing Raspberry vs Flic hub?

You mention webhook callback have "noticeable delay". I use them to control light bulbs, so less delay is always appreciated, although I do not find it especially bad currently. Can I really expect difference I will really notice?

Thanks
