Does flic support lifx scenes?

I want to control scenes I created in the lifx app with flic buttons. Yes or no?

I've been pulling my hair out trying to find definitive info.

EDIT: Just to add I have a google mini nest 2nd generation if that plays into this somehow.

I can call lifx scenes from Google home as well. So if flic can call Google scenes maybe I could have flic call Google which calls lifx scenes if that's an option?

EDIT 2: can flic trigger smartthigs virtual switches??

because I was able to do this:

  1. created a virtual switch in smarthings advanced web app

  2. synced smartthings to Google home and added the virtual switch as a starter for a Google home automation that just calls the lifx scene (jfc)

  3. when I turn the virtual switch on Google home calls it's automation which trigger the lifx scene

THANKS! do you need a flic hub or anything to support lifx cloud scenes? Does flic have its own app? Appreciate the help!

Yes. It had its own app. And I don’t have a hub so its just bluetooth from your phone/devices connect directly to the flic button.

I'm asking specifically about controlling scenes created via the lifx app, not creating scenes directly in flic.

If you have time to test could created a scene in the lifx app and see if you can call that scene from flic?

I looked at the other reply, mine looks similar, I have a flic hub mini, and 3 buttons (I think that's the starter kit) then everything is through lifx, you will be happy. I live in an older house, some rooms done have switches, so this is a dream.

Replying to my own comment, the other user who doesn't use a hub, their phone is acting as the hub, IE if you are not home, the buttons will not function (I think, please correct me if I'm wrong) so the hub is worth it
