Flic Twist (R-TW-01) — User Manual

User manual for the Flic Twist (R-TW-01) — a smart, adhesive-mounted push-and-rotate dial that pairs with a Flic Hub to control smart lighting scenes, brightness, color, and other home automation actions.

Description and Main Features

Flic Twist is simple and intuitive, wildly configurable, and can be placed anywhere. Push and Rotate are easy to use and understand — unlock advanced modes by pushing and rotating at the same time.

• Smart Dimming — adapts intelligently to vivid color scenes or different volume settings, adjusting each parameter individually while maintaining the relative differences between devices
• Advanced Dimming — a flexible dimming journey with custom triggers along the way; while rotating you can adjust brightness, color, or saturation simultaneously, and sequence lights with added events
• Scene Blender — preset up to 4 different light scenes and blend seamlessly between them

Getting Started

Before setup, make sure you have:

1. An iOS or Android device with Bluetooth 4.0+
2. An active internet connection
3. The Flic app (App Store or Google Play)
4. A Flic Hub, Flic Hub LR, or Flic Hub Mini ("Flic Hub")
5. A Flic Twist ("Twist")

For up-to-date requirements, visit flic.io/start.

Connecting Your Twist

1. Plug in the Hub LR / Mini
2. Make sure Bluetooth is activated on your phone
3. Open the Flic App, create an account or log in
4. Add or connect to your Flic Hub
5. Follow the in-app setup guide to add your Twist
6. You're now ready to set up your first actions

Note: Do not hold the Flic Twist in your hand during normal operation — keep a separation distance of at least 20cm.

Bluetooth Connection

When setting up the Twist, connect it to your Flic Hub using the Flic App to add it. Make sure the Twist is within Bluetooth range of the Hub — up to 50m (150ft), though range can vary greatly depending on the environment.

Sticking Your Twist

Each Twist comes with a reusable adhesive sticker pre-attached to the back. Peel off the protective layer and stick your Twist on any clean surface.

To reposition it, twist the button to the right to exert horizontal force, making it easier to remove the adhesive. Note: the adhesive is very strong — removing it may damage the mounted surface. The Twist can also be wall-mounted using the included magnetic wall mount and screw.

Cleaning the Adhesive

If the adhesive loses its stickiness:

1. Carefully wash the adhesive with water
2. Rub gently and repeat the wash
3. Leave it to air-dry — it will return to full stickiness

The Twist is not waterproof — do not rinse, submerge, or use it underwater; this causes irreversible damage outside the scope of the warranty. Do not use solvents, chemicals, or abrasive cleaners on the adhesive.

Changing the Battery

Flic Twist uses two replaceable AAA batteries that last up to 2 years (rechargeable AAA batteries are also supported).

1. Open the battery hatch by inserting a small flat-head screwdriver into the slot and gently bending upward
2. Remove the old battery
3. Insert two new AAA batteries, checking polarity against the printing inside the hatch — don't mix used and new batteries
4. Close the battery hatch

Dispose of old batteries according to local regulations.

Factory Reset

1. Remove the battery
2. Insert the battery
3. Within 5 seconds, push and hold the button for 10 seconds

This removes all pairings and returns the Twist to factory default.
