      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?

        I have several buttons configured to do different things around the house (both 1.0 and 2.0 buttons).
        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.
