I have found your email in our support system and I will instruct my colleague to go ahead with the refund. Again, sorry about this.

Thanks to direct HTTP requests wired into my n8n server, I can now use this compact little button to trigger fully customized automations on demand. Imagine the power of IFTTT or Zapier, but supercharged with total flexibility, no subscription lock-in, and full control. Now layer in Kimi AI and Moonshot to give it brains, and suddenly we’re talking about real-time, AI-enabled workflows running through clean API calls for fractions of pennies on the dollar.

I picked up the 3-button + Hub kit, and things escalated quickly. The moment it arrived, I started building out integrations. What I wanted, more than anything, was a physical way to toggle Conversation Mode on and off without unlocking my phone or tapping through menus. Just one press. Whether clipped to a keychain, snapped to a belt loop, or finally making use of that tiny jeans pocket above the front one that no one knows what to do with, the button would give me instant, seamless access.

Here's the magic: while ChatGPT still hasn’t figured out true fluidity in Conversation Mode, I found a workaround. By swapping in Perplexity instead of Google Voice using the same integration path, I now get something even better. Perplexity starts actively listening the moment I trigger it, then shifts into push-to-talk so I can ask my question naturally, with my phone still tucked away and a single earbud in my ear. It feels like whispering commands into the air and having your own private AI actually respond, without the awkward setup, interrupted conversations due to noise, conversation mode feature timing out, or battery drain of a full-blown assistant app.

This is not just a novelty. This is the beginning of a low-cost, high-impact control interface for personal AI. A button that listens. A voice that answers. Logic that flows. And it’s all mine to customize.

I am waiting for my Kickstarter Loomos AI Smart glasses to arrive and I plan to program a feature to control the camera and other aspects. More to come!

I have a very long story on my obssesion for smart stuff but I'll cut it short and say this -

My simple button - Double tap turns off my house lights between 10pm to 3am (I pull the right time through the internet), so outside those hours I can assign other activities to the button

My twister button - regular twist controls the volume of my Laptop, press and twist controls my bedroom light and hold button resets the laptop volume. For the volume control I check if my laptop is available, otherwise I can assign other tasks for the button

This wasn't as easy as it SHOULD have been unfortunately... this is really highly dev skills required but it's doable. I just wish it was much easier to achieve without the amount of code work and integrations I made

You should be able to send a HTTP request to the shelly with your flic. A bit of googling (or ChatGPT) should give you the appropriate payload.

I am not sure if Shelly accepts a "toggle" command, if not you may need a click for on and double click for off.

Good luck

• Kitchen downlighters
• Dining room downlighters
• Dining room pendant

All three have their own momentary switch in a single-gang faceplate, though I generally use voice commands via my Echo Show.

My partner, though, has great difficulty getting any of the four Echo devices in the house to understand any commands... and my seven-year-old granddaughter cannot reach the switches... Enter my Flic 2!

I have a Flic set low enough for the granddaughter to easily reach. A single click turns on all three sets of lights and double turns off all three sets of lights.

The granddaughter has no problem, though my partner still yells and swears at Alexa!

Yes, there is!

You can use Flic Universal to configure the Flic button to act as a Bluetooth keyboard and program different key combinations to be triggered when you press it.

Ok, so why have I done this? Instead of going to the web dashboard and doing tasks manually, I can do it with a simple click. I usually block most social media and ad trackers using Pi-hole but sometimes it is necessary to view sites like Facebook or Instagram. I saw this article where some guy hacked this functionality together but those of us with Flic can do this much more elegantly.

The first thing to do is get your API token from Pi-hole found under Settings. Then set up an Internet Request GET action in the Flic app and for the URL, enter something like the following:

http://YourPiHoleIPAddress/admin/api.php?YourCommand&auth=YourAPItokenHere

You could probably use any Pi-hole command but "enable" and "disable" are probably the most useful. In addition, you can also set the amount of time you want it to remain enabled or disabled.

Here is how to disable Pi-hole blocking for 5 minutes or 300 seconds:

http://YourPiHoleIPAddress/admin/api.php?disable=300&auth=YourAPItokenHere

Here is how to enable Pi-hole indefinitely:

I hope this little tutorial helps you get a bit more functionality from your Flic buttons.

I have the flic 2 buttons with the hub.
On and off works with lifx bumps.
I have the problem with choose a scene.
Nothing happened when I push the button.

Thanks for helping
