Update on this:
I managed to create a workaround by using autohotkey program and creating a script:

if WinExist("Zoom Meeting")
{
WinActivate ; Use the window found by WinExist.
Send, !a
return
}
else
{
MsgBox, "Zoom Meeting" not open.
}

I turned that script to executable with autohotkey tools, created a short cut with hotkeys [ctr] + [alt] + [z].

Then configured my flic to send [ctr] + [alt] + [z] command.

Now finally I can toggle mute zoom call even when focus is on for example on a excel or browser.

@Emil I know ! but on android does't work......

Hi,

I had this requirement and solved it by linking Zapier (Free account) (5 Zap limit I believe so if you need more perhaps not the right email option) and then using a service called Firetext (UK based) to deliver the text messages.

And yes it works 👍 .

You will need to pay for credits (the first 25 are free) £20 for 500 so depending on what you want this combination, as a way of using a flic button as an alert service, it works well.

However!! Zapier is not instant so if anyone knows of a service that will email instantly I would be interested (I will keep looking).

The reason I mention the delay is for those who are looking for a Panic Button Solution as the above combination can take between 30 seconds and a few (less than 5) minutes to deliver the text, the delay is with the Zapier free account, unfortunately. 😞

But if you need an alert as an email/text this workaround/combination is by far the simplest/cheapest I have found and it works :).

Hope that's helpful for someone.

regards
Paul.

Same experience with flic2.. so hard to open and change battery.. what’s the trick?

Hi. I don't really understand your problem.

Nowadays, you can set the button to operate in HID mode. In the Flic app, add a Keyboard Command action under Universal Actions.

@sturpe when you pair the Flic button in the Flic app, you need to press "pair" or "pair and connect" to any system dialog that appears. Otherwise it won't work.

Not sure but try to remove the buttons from the Flic app and add them back. It's important that you have an active internet connection while adding the button and configuring Alexa in the Flic app, since that sends a signal to our backend that the Alexa action is used for this button on your account or hub.

@MajorTingz please try again now

Hi,

The IR device consists of a transmitter and a receiver, which are separate.

If you can record signals in the IR provider in our app but your device does not react when played back, and you have tried this for multiple devices, it might be that either the hub pcb or ir accessory has become broken.

@paul-mckibbin Our Alexa integration is a cloud to cloud integration. After you have set up Alexa, you could theoretically throw out the Alexa device through the window and uninstall the Alexa app and it should continue to work, assuming you have set up Alexa to perform another cloud action (initiated by Alexa cloud)...

So I can't understand why the app version in your phone is important.
