for old people to press the flic to activate the inbuilt sos message feature in iphone and android
currently you can triple click your power button on your android phone to send an sos message to programmed contacts with your location. Can you programme the flic so old people can push the flic once to send the sos message?
6 votesHi! This is currently working in the Flic app. It’s called “Send Location Text”. Check it out and let us know what you think! :)

Lifx control using the LAN API (no internet)
At the moment the Lifx bulb control (on Android at least) is done using the HTTP API. That means that Flic is connected to the Lifx cloud account and the actions look like this:
Flic->Android app----->Lifx cloud----->Bulbs
The problem with that is that the delay after pressing the Flic is considerate and, worst of all, if the router loses conection to internet while still being powered up and offering WiFi then the button becomes useless.
It would be great if the Lifx actions supported the LAN API as specified here: https://lan.developer.lifx.com/docs/introduction
That way the bulbs can be controlled via WiFi…

Page turner for ForScore and Newzik for conductors.
I feel you could easily increase your sales with this addition to compatible applications. More and more musicians are using iPad Pros to read music from and conduct. The problem for conductors is the multiple page turns. The Flic is small enough to put in the palm of a conductors baton hand so you wouldn't need to turn pages by touching the screen. The two competitive applocations right now on the iPad are Newzik and ForScore.

So on and so forth...2 votesDead man’s Switch is available in the Android app, but unfortunately impossible to implement on iOS because of Apple restrictions.

Dead man's switch: Perform an action when flic is NOT clicked
Use Flic to say that everything is OK and have Flic perform an action if it's not.
Send a warning if you forgot to take your pills, notify your personal trainer if you're slacking off or publish your secret wikileaks data if kidnapped by evilcorp.
The possibilities are endless.
37 votesThis can be done on Android, but iOS would not let us do that.

Connection with the Spotify app instead of playing music in the Flic app
Now, when you open Spotify and listen to your music and press on a Flic to skip to the next song, it will open the Flic app and plays your music from there while the song in the Spotify is also still playing...

Delay option for hue!
It would be nice to get an delay option for the hue lights. For example: click at the flic turns some lights on and 5 minutes after the click my lights go off!
38 votesHi! This is possible with the Android Flic app! :) Here’s how to do it: When configuring the “click” you should add your first action, which is turning on the light. Then you can “chain” another action after that to turn off the light.
The important thing is to delay this action by clicking the little clock icon at the top and setting the time you’d like.For iOS at the moment this isn’t possible, unfortunately.
If you need more details we can help you out on the Community forum https://community.flic.io/ or at support@shortcutlabs.com

Click once - more actions at once
More than one action for "one click" - e.i. Click once - "turn on hue" AND "turn on Sonos" AND "use harmony hub and shut of TV"

Waterproof flic.
Would allow for connection to smart devices, changing of music or youtube, and other things while in the bath.
42 votesWe rate our buttons to IP44 standard which officially classifies them as splashproof. They are not fully waterproof and we do not recommend using them in environments where the button could be fully submerged or sprayed with water for more than 10 mins. However using it with wet hands, or just light splashing of water will not affect the button, so you could place them on the wall in the bath/shower :)

Add support for Android native camera, rather than using Flics built in camera app
I like that there's a way of taking pictures using the flic app...but I would prefer if the Flic just supported the stock Camera on android.
Also, to add on to a couple other ideas posted (Conditional Buttons/Configs), the flic button should be smart. When the Camera is open, then switch to camera controls.
