Flic Twist – Starter Kit, white

Even easier control of your smart home

No more mobile apps, lots of controllers, or coaxing a voice assistant – you can control your smart home with a single button! Flic Twist is the perfect remote for literally every member of the 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. Four ways to use the button – press, double press, twist, and press with a simultaneous twist – will trigger corresponding functions and actions. Which ones specifically? It's up to you, the devices in your home, and the routines you set to link to the button. Imagine how something as trivial as pressing a button on your bedside table will open the blinds throughout the house, start your favorite playlist, and brew a fragrant espresso. Or place a Flic Twist next to the front door. Before you leave for work, use it to turn off the music, lights, and thermostat and turn on the vacuum at the same time. All within seconds!

The manufacturer itself is proud of these button features:

1. Smart Dimming

Smart dimming adapts intelligently to vivid color scenes or different volume settings. For example, you can now dim lights at different brightness if your ceiling lamp is very bright and your side lamp is not, therefore dimming exponentially. It adjusts each parameter individually, preserves the relative differences between devices, and conjures up the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing evening with a book or a sleepy morning when you need a boost of energy.

2. Advanced Dimming

Advanced dimming is flexible light control with custom triggers. You can simultaneously adjust brightness, color, or saturation at the turn of a button. You can sequence the lights and even add additional events.

3. Scene Blender

Flic Twist’s innovative Scene Blender mode allows you to preset up to 4 different light scenes. It fades smoothly between your scenes, so you can select just the level in between that fits your mood for the moment.

4. Selector

The selector (the external part of the button which can be twisted) is divided into 12 segments. It allows you to select up to 12 custom triggers to activate or adjust. Each position is referred to as a clock position in the app, from 1 to 12 o’clock. When manipulating the selector itself, you can recognize the active segments thanks to the illuminated LED lights.

Powerful button, which is always handy

Incorporating Flic Twist into your home couldn't be easier! First, plug in the Flic Hub and make sure the Bluetooth function is activated on your phone. Open the Flic app, create an account, and sign in. Then, connect the hub and follow the app's instructions. It will guide you through adding your button and setting up your first actions. Once you've successfully configured it, you can place the button wherever it's most convenient for you. Make sure it stays within range of the hub to ensure a stable connection. Nothing else limits you. Flic Twist can be attached to any metal surface thanks to the built-in magnets. You can also reuse the adhesive label on the back of the button for placement or screw it to the wall. The button does not require a power outlet to operate. It is powered by a pair of replaceable AAA batteries with a lifetime of approximately 2 years. You can also use the rechargeable ones.

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 compatibility with a growing number of devices. So not only does this integration simplify smart home control and increase reliability, but it also provides a future-proof solution as more and more devices adopt the Matter standard.

More than 1000 compatible devices and services

The Flic button offers the possibility to remotely control virtually any device connected to the internet and also any paired computer, smartphone, or tablet. In addition to the mentioned Matter, various other integrations work with it. Some of the most well-known ones include 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 Twist for your business

In addition to its use in the smart home, the Flic button can also help in your place of business. For example, it can optimize productivity in the workplace by running presentations, controlling office lighting, and more. If you own a retail store, you can use Flic as a button to request help or control music to make the customer experience more enjoyable. The button is certainly not lost in the healthcare industry either, where it will make it easier for caregivers to check in or send alerts and requests to make things 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. Currently, more than 650 companies rely on Flic to retain clients, increase sales, improve safety, and streamline operations. Among them are giants such as Samsung, Citroën, Securitas, P&G, Coop, Microsoft, Bosch and Würth.
