Flic Reviews and Details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Using an $8 smart outlet to avoid brainrot

  Similarly: https://flic.io/ Little programmable buttons, they're great. I've used them for similar habit formation stuff, in my case not ignoring my alarm, by making the button the only way to shut it off, and putting the button very far away from bed. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Small, easy to press, IoT button for triggering tasks? Using Tile now but my mother with Arthritis has trouble.

  There are a slew of iot buttons but who knows how hard they are to press. Check https://flic.io/. Source: about 3 years ago

• Found a simple and cheap way to always have ground truth on if I remembered to take my morning pills

  The solution is in the form of a programmable button stuck to the bottom of a shot glass. The programmable button is made by Flic, and I set it up to send my phone a text that simply says "morning pills taken". Source: over 3 years ago

• In search of a Google Home physical button to control a routine

  Otherwise, https://flic.io/ might be an option if matter support actually works out (not sure how much support is there for it)? But if it does, I suspect other things will follow (flic isn't cheap last I recall). Source: over 3 years ago

• Just getting started... Please excuse the super basic question!

  You could try a Flic, pretty versatile little gadget really. Flic. Source: over 3 years ago

• What’s the best physical controls (switches/whatever) for normies to turn on/off, adjust digital LED brightness, AND adjust color — so nighttime can be more red, eg)? More than one switch/knob is okay!

  I think https://flic.io is right up your alley. Source: over 3 years ago

• I have two light fixtures controlled with two HS200 switches. Is there an equivalent to a Tradfri button?

  Forgot to mention that you can buy almost whatever switch you want, including Bluetooth switches. https://flic.io/. Source: over 3 years ago

• Are all food-logging apps terrible?

  And for reference, my dream is to setup some IoT buttons (like these) in the kitchen, fridge, pantry, etc. And then map their inputs to commonly consumed items or meals. Pull it out of the fridge, press the button (or combination of buttons) and bam, auto-logged. Of course I could go back in and adjust as I want (hence the desire for a great webapp) but the idea is catch the input in the moment. Source: over 3 years ago

• Reverse smart light switch

  So, forget WiFi, go for a battery powered button like Flic 2. Source: over 3 years ago

• My ideal use case for Tesla Android

  Looks like OP is referring to this https://flic.io/. Source: over 3 years ago

• Activate HomeKit automation via Button/shortcut

  FLIC buttons are great to trigger HomeKit anything. You can set 1 button to have 3 actions (single click, double click, long hold). https://flic.io/ Also in general, you can set up any automation as a scripted shortcut to work multiple ways, for example- click button during X timeframe does A, click button during Y timeframe time does B.

• Remote control for Mac?

  If you don't want extra hardware, then the only options are WiFi and Bluetooth. Both needs the sender to follow a complex protocol and the receiver to have special server/driver app. There are various smartphone / tablet based solutions out there but there isn't many choice if you want physical button. You may take a look at this: https://flic.io. Source: over 3 years ago

• Does this exist? A HomeKit (or homebridge?) accessory that is a button that I can program to run scenes or turn on and off groups of accessories.

  I've got Flics. Each button can be programmed to run three different things (one press, two press, three press). I've got one by my bed to run my good morning/night routines. Source: over 3 years ago

• One wireless switch to turn on/off several smart plugs?

  For reliability I would consider a flic 2 system. Not cheap, but very stable and reliable. https://flic.io/. Source: over 3 years ago

• Automation button outlet

  I think flic works with Google Home? They have committed to working with Matter, though, so if they don't yet, they should soon... Source: over 3 years ago

• Hubless HomeKit buttons available in Europe?

  I think you can run Flic's without their hub as long as you phone is in the house, and they are Europe based. Source: almost 4 years ago

• Board Game Table with "End Turn" Buttons

  As for a non-arcade button solution, I actually prototyped my smart home integration stuff using a Flic button (https://flic.io/). You can program them to adjust lights and play sound effects really easily if you're interested. They can also send http requests, so they're hugely expandable if you have a computer that can listen for them. Source: almost 4 years ago

• Need A Button Solution For The Frame TV

  Something like this could work: https://flic.io/shop/flic-2-single-pack ? Source: almost 4 years ago

• Controlling A/C With Microcontroller

  Ah, that's rough on the range. I was going to suggest flic with the hub connected to your phone in your car via wireless and triggering Tasker or Automate to start cooling with the button on your keychain but realistically that would be ~150 ft. Source: almost 4 years ago

• Is it possible to control a fan that uses an IR remote through your phone? Might not be through HomeKit

  Good news - last week I set up my Flic starter kit with an IR blaster. The blaster also let me program it so just one button click not only turns on the fan, but starts the oscillation as well. Source: almost 4 years ago

• External button to trigger Tasker events

  I use a Flic button myself :) Works great: https://flic.io/. Source: about 4 years ago
