Flic - Wireless Smart Button

Huh? Since when?

@Ben pretty much rules out WiFi here:

There is subsequent discussion in the thread about using USB adaptors, but certainly nothing definitive.

You can do this today with this 3 button ZigBee switch http://smartenit.com/product/zbws3b/ and the SmartThings hub.

Are you using this 3 button switch? Are you able to control the 3 buttons with the smart things app?

Yes and Yes several people are.

Can you elaborate on this. Custom device type? Custom app? etc. Thanks

Here is a thread where I helped a couple other guys. Wireless, Battery Operated Wall Switch I wrote a custom device type for the switch and you guys are very welcome to use it. Look in the thread and you should see the code. You can cut and paste that into your IDE and assign it to your 3 button switches.

Just as an FYI this switch can also do a direct bind to an on/off ZigBee device. You can use this to have it directly control a light or wall plug (must be a ZigBee device to do a direct bind) Take a look at the instruction on how to setup a device bind that came with the switch. The cool thing about a direct bind is when you push the button the command goes directly to the bound device. The SmartThings hub is not required for the command to be successful.

I agree!

I supported the project. Looks super cool! IFTTT support so we can control any Virtual button and quite literally
do anything we want from there. Love it!

I decided to back this in hopes of a ST integration - either directly or via other channels. Bought a 6-pack.

I bought two of these. Didn’t want too fully commit, but I think it looks promising.

I really hope this is as cool as this video makes it look:

I got 12 of these. They look soooo cool. All the partners that they have already are incredible!

They already have Unified Remote, Spotifiy, IFTTT, Logitech, Atooma, and Morning Routine on board.

IFTTT gives tons of features. But direct control of STs would be amazing!!!

Ya’all need to reach out to these guys if you haven’t already!! :smile:

Tim, how reliable are they? How do they communicate? Do they have a hub? If they are tied to my phone and I’m not home and my wife pushes a button how would it work?

I believe they are bluetooth and require a mobile device to work. I think it will use IFTTT to communicate with smartThings, unless ST HUB V2 can support this. I thought V2 was going to have Blue Tooth support.

there’s a lot of similar products out there. This one says they will be open sourced, and it’s a lot smaller too.

Done… :smile:

I want to place them near a few table lamps to control them. If I use a Hue bulb or an outlet module to control that lamp, you can’t use he control on the lamp itself! First world problems, I know…

Done x3 - looks like I could throw 3 votes your way.

I will definitely buy some of these once they are integrated

You got 3 votes from me, but it looks like you’re gonna have a hard time competing with internet porn. I died laughing when I saw it.
