WX Hyi is one of the known flickering DNe. It regularly has very short brightenings, seen by one observer and not by the others. This seems to happen at the hours level, not seconds...

Yes, this was the well-known(?) reverse case. People may remeber that WX Hyi was originally considered as a Mira, too. Some time ago, there was a campaign to check poorly observed Mira stars for more such examples, because typical supercycle lengths of SU UMa stars are close to Mira-type pulsation periods -- this was motivated by the possibility that "if only superoutburst are recorded, the star may look a Mira star". There was a VSNET discussion on this topic long time ago ... I don't remember the location.
