I've been using these since the Flic 1. My wife and I have it setup for when her boyfriend comes over, he pushes a button and all the lights turn red, so I know not to disturb their fun time. It also automatically turns on my Baby Yoda lamp and starts up Disney+ automatically. Keeps everyone happy!
I have a couple Hue buttons and an Eve one for controlling non-Hue lights but these do seem cool. My issue is that they require a separate hub but still use Bluetooth. Not sure why they can’t just connect via Bluetooth to your home hub like Eve’s button does.
Great video, Brad. I felt the same way as others about the excessive pride of these buttons. But, once again, you get what you pay for. I have about 10 Flic2 buttons throughout my house, including 2 hubs (my outside office was just a bit too far). It’s funny how everyone who uses these buttons comments on how good the press feels. It’s true. It’s also true these buttons make several SmartHome tasks wife friendly. I recently added Eve SmartPlugs to all of my A/V equipment as these draw a ton of electricity when they are theoretically off. However, this frustrated everyone else and telling them the Siri commands to turn everything on did not go over well. Now, each room with a TV has a flic button and they all work the same way: single press = AppleTV and TV on, Double = all A/V on, and long press to turn it all off. I also turn all of these off in my goodnight scene. Now, everyone uses the buttons regularly. I also use them in the laundry room to set timers that announce something is done over the HomePods and in my office to control various scenes for client calls, vendor calls, and “Interrupt away: I’m just working on deliverables” scenes.
I have these and they’re great! Even more so for kids to control their lights in their bedrooms. Set for a dimmer light in the morning when waking up, full on for during the day, and the final long press to shut down lights and keep a nightlight/LED strip on at a low level.
Caseta Pico remotes can do all this with Homebridge and the Caseta bridge, and 1 Pico has 5 usable buttons for the price of a 1 button Flic and uses ClearConnect to the bridge.
I got it , it works very well with the hub…but with IPhone , I have to open the app Flic on my iphone for the button to work... too bad... it seems it works on Android without problem… i can’t use in my car … Thanks for your vidéo
Sure, but now Hubitat is fully Homekit certified (better late than never) now any cheap zigbee or Z-wave button can work with Apple Home. And onsale right now for $90

I find these excessively expensive considering you can get the Ikea Shortcut buttons that work with home kit for less than $10 a piece
Which ones are you talking about? Do you have a link for these?

Always appreciate your content! and the OLP tees!
Great video, thanks for bringing this in.
Can you also assigne iOS shortcuts to a flic2 button? Any restrictions/ limitations given?
Can this work without using a Flic hub... just an iPhone or iPad and a HomePod mini?
Tx much for great info. It's 2023, can I do outgoing call from iPhone or Android with that magic button ????
Can these be used to make a simple one button phone call and then another simple one button hang up? Thanks!

Hi Brad, can you setup a flic button as a doorbell in HomeKit to make a sound through a HomePod? Love the channel, thanks
can I send text or place a call with the Flic ?
Brad, I just realized you’ve been looking slimmer. What’s your secret buddy?
Fantastic video, Brad! I really am surprised at how reliable these buttons are, especially working over Bluetooth. Good stuff!
how did you add your bathroom exhaust fan to homekit?
You can do it as a wall switch that controls the fan or there are SmartHome enabled bathroom fans now.
No thread. No purchase.
You're back! 🎉 We missed you, Brad Lloyd! 🏠

black flic 2 is only for black Friday sale each year
He has a special link in the comments so you can get the special BF deals for a short period of time.

The hub(s) expense on top of the buttons themselves is way too high a barrier to entry. They need to make a Matter over Thread version.
Too small! I lost also a couple of Aqara switch, this is quite small, not suitable for my home, better an Aqara cube t1 pro, in my case, of course
Paid for uncritical review
It's overpriced. That's the problem.
