Hi! Here's a video on how to change the battery of a Flic:

[This specific case has been solved by contacting support@shortcutlabs.com]

Hi @emptythecache, This is a strange issue that requires some troubleshooting, so please send us an email at support@shortcutlabs.com
So others might be informed of the issue, @krisszancs has the same problem and my colleagues are preparing a replacement hub because that one was faulty.

Hi Matteo,
Perhaps you can elaborate on what you mean by "clicking on a specific area"?
If you have a Mac computer, with Keyboard Maestro you could create a shortcut that moves the mouse to a coordinate and then clicks. Then you can assign this "macro" to a button in the Flic app.

This is the closest to what I think you need!

Hi, Flic Singles (Location, Music, etc) cannot be opened, and therefore the battery cannot be changed. Please send an email to support@shortcutlabs.com and if your button is faulty we'll replace it :)

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.

@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.
