Hi, If you use Mac, You can download our Mac app: https://flic.io/mac-app

The Flic button itself cannot send keyboard commands to the Mac, it only sends Flic click events directly to the Flic app. However, with the Flic app, you can integrate with other apps (such as Keyboard Maestro) that should be able to do this for you. Either that or, if you are a programmer, you can write your own custom scripts that achieve this.

I just noticed the new LIFX Local Network and tried it out and it's working really well. Latency is now very low (same as my own setup). This now makes Flic the perfect light switch for my LIFX lights, super happy and thank you for getting that feature added!

@goonermel Hi! What problem are you having?
Also, things have changed a bit since this old post. The "Tasks" feature has now been relocated to the three dots menu in the top right.

I have the exact same problem! Can anyone address?

@goonermel said in UNABLE TO ASSIGN TASKS TO MY BUTTONS:

Re: can't get tasks to work
Please can soon help with this issue.
I just received my hub at last and I was very excited to set it all up!
Unfortunately I cannot see how to assign the list of tasks like before.
I only seem to be directed to all the "providers" list.

Please offer a solution.

Anyone???

@nadia Can we please get an update on this? Wemo integration is the reason I bought Flic and so the product is useless to me right now. Also, Wemo integrations still work fine with services like Alexa and IFTTT so can you please confirm you are also investigating your own implementation of the Wemo integration?

Thank you for quick answer, but it did not help me at all. First of all, of course it causes trouble when one has to redo every single action on every single flic. And it doesnt help in getting me to feel comfortable with using it. We are planning to use the flics in our stage productions for triggering things in our show. Thankfully this happened now and not in one week when our premiere is but it still kills our very precious non-existing time having to redo everything for an update I do not need. The plan was to buy several more flics, but if this happens again, whats the point?

And for us without hubs, landing on the hub page steals even more time and it is in my thinking very strange to put a system that fewer people will use contra one or a few single flics, as the first page. Not very user friendly.

@nadia That's exactly what I do with a couple of my buttons that I stick under countertops. They've fallen off a few times, but if I wash the sticky part, it gets sticky again, and they'll be fine for months.

@michal-svatos Hi! Thanks for reaching out. Check out this recent topic on LIFX lights: https://community.flic.io/topic/17293/flic-latency-with-lifx-but-likely-same-for-most-smart-lights
We'll keep you updated!

Is IT possible to activate i task with a Flickr ord is it only possible from the app?

@billieleyendecker Glad to know you figured it out! 🙂 If you ever have any other problems just email us at support@shortcutlabs.com and we'll help you out!

Update: The problem seems to come from the WeMo switches and not from our side of the software. We're trying to find workarounds.

Hi!
I'm guessing there would probably be some way to do this with IFTTT/Zapier or a similar service, but I haven't managed to do it, so it may need advanced configuration.

The problem is that IFTTT/Zapier requires the image URL to tweet. So maybe if you first create an action that takes a picture, find out a way to upload it to a server, get the URL, and add it as a variable to tweet... It could be possible, just sounds very complex.

If you can't find a way to do it out of the Flic app, we'll add the feature to the list of suggestions and contemplate it for future updates! Feel free to add it to ideas.flic.io so others can suggest/support your idea too.
🙂
