<![CDATA[Common Flic Use Cases]]>I'm having trouble figuring out what to do with my Flic other than turn the lights on/off.

  • I don't live in the US, so I can't use it to order Dominos.
  • It doesn't integrate with Google Home, so I can't use it to play music on my speakers or adjust my (Nest) thermostat
  • I cannot use it to order an Uber or Lyft
  • The actions available on IFTTT & Zapier also do not allow me to do any of the above either
  • It doesn't integrate with Toggl, so I can't use it to track hours

What is everyone else using it for?

Here are some of the tasks I have assigned:

  • Control a Wemo On/Off switch to turn on a small space heater for cold mornings in my office space

  • Turn Nanoleaf panels on/off via IFTTT

  • Turn Philips Hue lights on directly via Flic Hub

  • Set a specific temperature on Nest Thermostat via IFTTT

  • Add a new entry to my iOS calendar via IFTTT, that I've taken a daily medicine (Button is on the bottle)

  • Turn on/off my TV and Audio Receiver directly via Flic Hub IR

I have one button directly connected to Flic via my phone:

  • Play/Pause control while walking the dog. So I don't have to get my phone out to pause a podcast when I inevitably run into a neighbor who wants to chat.

  • Arm/Disarm Motion Detection/Push Notifications from security cams via IFTTT

Hope this might spark something useful for you to create.
