Flic Button – Starter Kit, white

A small button for even easier smart home control

No more mobile apps, lots of controllers, or coaxing a voice assistant – you can control your smart home with a single button! Flic is the perfect controller for literally every member of your household. Even young children can use it, not-so-tech-savvy users can access the possibilities of a smart home and get the technology under their fingertips, while enthusiasts won't want to miss the opportunity for more advanced settings. Its 3 control modes – press, double press, and hold – will trigger pre-set functions and actions. Which ones in specific? It's up to you, the devices in your home, and the routines you set up and link to the button. Imagine trivially pressing a button on your nightstand to open the window blinds throughout the house, put on your favorite playlist, and prepare a fragrant espresso without getting out of bed. Or place Flic next to the front door. Before you leave for work, use it to turn off the music, lights, and thermostat while turning on the vacuum cleaner. All within seconds! Together with the hub, Flic does even more. The main advantage of using the hub is that your settings will always remain active, regardless of the presence of your smartphone. The advantages of Flic can then be used by others in your absence. Setting up the hub is a one-time process and only involves pairing with a network via Wi-Fi.

Always keep the button handy

Incorporating Flic into your home couldn't be easier! First, make sure your phone's Bluetooth function is activated. Open the Flic app, create an account, and sign in. Then, just follow the app's instructions. It will guide you through adding your hub button and setting up your first actions. Once you've successfully configured it, all you have to do is place the button where it's most convenient for you. This is designed to be as versatile and convenient as possible. It features a reusable adhesive label, so it securely sticks to a variety of surfaces. Whether it's a wall, a desk, or even the refrigerator. Need to change its position? No problem! Simply turn the button to the right, remove the adhesive strip from the surface, and reposition it. The button does not require an electrical connection to operate. It is powered by a replaceable CR2032 cell battery, which has a lifetime of approximately 3 years.

Expanded possibilities with Matter integration

The smart home environment is rapidly evolving, and integrating Matter into Flic opens up many exciting possibilities for interacting with connected devices. Matter acts as a universal language that allows devices from different manufacturers to communicate seamlessly. No more juggling multiple apps or being tied to one ecosystem. With Matter support, your devices can work together, giving you true freedom to customize your smart home. Your Flic buttons can control an even wider range of devices, from lights and thermostats to locks and sensors, all through a single, unified system. Matter's integration with Flic not only increases flexibility but also ensures future compatibility with a growing number of devices – because more and more are adopting the Matter standard. Please note that to control Matter devices, you need the Flic Hub.

More than 1000 compatible devices and services

The Flic button offers the possibility to remotely control virtually any device connected to the Internet. In addition to the previously mentioned Matter, various other integrations work with it. Some of the best known include Homekit, Amazon Alexa, Homey, Apple Music, IFTTT, LIFX, Philips HUE, YouTube, Spotify, and Telldus. You can find the complete list on the manufacturer's website.

Flic button for your business

The Flic button can also help at your place of business. You can let it run presentations, control office lighting, and more. If you own a retail store, use it as a button to request help or to control music on the spot to make the customer experience more enjoyable. Flic certainly won't be lost in the healthcare sector either – it makes it easy to check in on caregivers and send alerts and requests, making communication more efficient. Last but not least, it can also be used in the manufacturing sector to start and stop machines remotely, ensure quick response to safety issues, etc. Today, more than 650 companies rely on Flic for client retention, increased sales, safety, and streamlined operations. Among them are such giants as Samsung, Citroën, Securitas, P&G, Coop, Microsoft, Bosch and Würth.

Do you have your own app? You can integrate Flic buttons into it!

Flic Button has a new public SDK for Android and iOS. This allows you to implement Flic support directly into your app. Location sharing. Your order is ready to be picked up. Accept a ride. Stop recording. These are all examples of actions that a physical button can trigger that fit the needs of your business.
