Bluetooth devices like flic

xeor

My self and others are trying to get bluetooth devices to work with homey. Example the use of flic buttons.
Do anyone know how far Homey have got with implementing whats needed to get it to work?
Currently, I can connect my flic using https://github.com/swttt/io.flic, but I can't use it for anything..

What is blocking? Do we need to yell at Flic to get the snowball rolling? Or is Homey the problem here?

Bluetooth was , like other parts in homey, left half baked with the promise to finish it soon(tm)

Would like to use my 4 Flics also with Homey.
For now is have the Flic app on my Mac and phone and with their HTTP request option and the HTTP request app on Homey i can start a flow.
If Athom doesn't get the bluetooth option working with the Flic buttons i could buy the Flic Hub thats coming soon. Then you don't need your Mac/PC of phone to make the flics work.
But to be honest, buying some Zigbee Xiaomi wireless buttons (less then 10 euro) is a much cheaper option than the Flic buttons with Hub.
