Frequently Asked Questions
Does FlickDeck listen for gestures all day?
No. FlickDeck is designed around explicit, user-armed gesture sessions instead of silent always-on detection.
What gestures are planned for the first release?
The planned v1 gesture set is deliberately small: double twist, flick up, and flick down, with false-positive rejection treated as a core feature.
Can FlickDeck run smart home or webhook actions?
Yes. The planned action model includes generic webhooks and Home Assistant webhook helpers, with risk levels, confirmation, cooldowns, and redacted logging.
Does FlickDeck require a phone companion app?
Yes. The phone app handles setup, profiles, actions, calibration, and sync. The watch app handles arming, gesture detection, confirmation, and action status.
