I mostly use echo to control lights and other things that need to happen very quickly. The button is a backup plan for something, particularly if for whatever reason I want something done quietly. Or if the room is so noisy that echo can’t hear. Or if it’s one of those days when my own voice is very slurred, which happens sometimes. Right now, the plan for the first button is just to turn the entertainment center on and off. So it doesn’t have to be as quick as a light would be. I’m getting a pretty consistent eight second response time from the flic via IFTTT which is just fine for this. The yellow button on the left side of the entertainment center is a flic. I can push it with my knee from the wheelchair and the dog can push it with his nose. 🕶🐕 ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/smartthings/original/3X/4/7/478dc6c0c3dfdae18e5be1a96a5214db5d198789.jpeg) I also plan to eventually have a flic that will activate an automatic door opener. As far as the HTTP method, sure, that should work. That’s how Dave glass originally set up IBeacons/SmartThings integration. > [@Mobile Presence and iBeacon (discussion beginning 2015)](https://community.smartthings.com/t/mobile-presence-and-ibeacon-discussion-beginning-2015/15410/22): > > Using iBeacons with SmartThings @DavGlass made a “proof of concept” smartapp for me that allows me to use an iBeacon to flip a SmartThings switch on or off. slight_smile Since this could be a virtual switch, it can also be used with the Big Switch for Hello Home Actions to do all kinds of stuff. Or used with IFTTT. Or, of course, if you want to modify the code, this proof of concept can be used as the basis for many different SmartThings interactions and much more complex smartapps. The POC SmartApp only asks for the detection range you want to use, and the switch you want to turn on or off. You can get it from Dave’s GitHub: My very deep thanks to Dave for working this up for me! It has immediate practical use in my house, and I’m sure will be the basis for many other creat… --- _[View the full topic](https://community.smartthings.com/t/flic-wireless-smart-button/7086)._
