So we've gone from switches on the wall to voice commands to replace the switches on the wall, back to switches to replace voice commands. 🤔

[@CraigsTechTalk]

Yes, because we realized the old way is better for some things. Voice definitely wasn't the answer for a lot of things.Thanks for watching.

@@CraigsTechTalk thanks for the quick reply, much appreciated. Btw, I would have replied sooner, but I was busy setting the clock on my VCR 🤣🤣🤣

If I may add....It is more than just a button push for one action. A single button push can accomplish multiple actions. It's really a great way to simplify life.

[@mathrocks7591]

Great product but the price is way to much to justified the buying them. Great video.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

Thank you very much. You just have to buy the jumbo package. But that is definitely pricey. Then the average cost isn't too bad. The initially cost to get the hub is a bit pricey. But after for the buttons is not crazy compared to others. Thank you for checking out the video.

[@billcsho]

With Smartthings and Galaxy phone, the Samsung SmartTag is on sale at $15 right now and it can serve the same function plus working as a tracker.

[@mikebedford4362]

FANTASTIC Video - thanks Craig, so simple, yet SO informative. I'm building a new home and bought the Flic switches to use with HomeKit over a year ago. Today I needed to find out if you can set completely different actions with single/ multiple clicks. Searched everywhere (even the Flic site) and finally landed on yr channel and there it all was so clear and so helpful - BOOM! Thanks so much.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

Thank you very much. I am glad to hear it was helpful for you. Thank you for watching and the nice comment.

[@WaynoGur]

Too pricey at $160

[@justind.6780]

I had some trouble with the latency between a button press and the alexa routine. But I figured out if you just delete the hub and re-add it, it is almost instantaneous now. Absolute love it.

[@ascaye]

The price needs to come down a bit. Quite a bit.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

I would like to see the starter come down quite a bit too. I think they can offer a lot of value. The per button cost doesn't bother me as much. The hub is a lot.

[@HughD]

You can also pair these to your phone directly via Bluetooth and skip the hub which means you can have a button in your car to do things like send a quick "I'm on the way home" text or even run an Alexa routine. In the US texts aren't free, but only cost 5 cents each which is worth it if you need the capability. You can also send your current location and other things with just a button press...pretty cool. Oh, you don't want to pair this way in your house because when you're away with your phone, no buttons in your house will work because they're now out of Bluetooth range of your phone. So a hub for inside buttons and the phone for outside buttons. #sharethelove

[@CraigsTechTalk]

Hello Hugh, I like the suggestion and the way you are all over these things. That is great. I like the idea of one in the car connected to the phone. I think I have to steal that. I am going to try and see how many different places I can put these. That is a good point about not pairing your house that way. Like you said, that is where the hub is needed. Thanks for sharing some great information. Have a good day Hugh.

[@HughD]

@@CraigsTechTalk Thanks for the kind words, Craig. I have a Flic in my car now which will open/close my garage door and also turn on/off my driveway and front porch lights. The only problem with this setup is you have to have decent cell service near your house or it won't work. You can do all sorts of things like only have the opener work during daytime/evening hours and not in the middle of the night. To me, it's much more secure than a regular opener remote you'd have in your car as when you're out of Bluetooth range of your phone it simply won't work. This stuff is fun.

[@dianeparton9249]

Are there any alternatives that just work via Wi-Fi, and not through a hub? This looks great but I’m hard pressed to drop $160 when all I need is a button to turn the lights off.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

Aquara is cheaper with their hubs. But most need a hub.

[@RodPriester]

Thanks Craig👍🏻....good info....I must admit I really didn’t see a use for them either.....but with Homekit compatibility and some common uses it would be handy....especially for my wife who doesn’t necessarily embrace some of my smart home ideas😂....I’ve been subscribed to Brian and love the information he and you offer us...Thanks

[@730Frankr]

Once again you did an outstanding review of these Flic buttons. I was like you and didn't see much value with them ...but now that you have explained them better...I do see a real value. They do need to come down in their start-up pricing currently at $140...hopefully that will be the case in the near future. Thanks again, for the great review.... Flic should be real pleased with the great job you did...!!

[@HeyTechi]

Really love the set up interface with these, but it seems a lot of money when compared with the IKEA Shortcut buttons, which also need a hub to connect with HomeKit? Sure, you only get two controls (short press, long press) compared to three with Flicc, but they’re a lot cheaper. Does the Flicc button offer any additional features beyond the three controls?

[@niravniel561]

Hi, thanks for the video, is it possible with a click of a button to start playing specific playlist on Spotify on a specific echo or google home speaker?

[@tiffanycortapasso2729]

Hi Greg I have a question about the flick buttons they work with the echo dot I’m just wondering do they also work with echo shows

[@CraigsTechTalk]

Hello Tiffany, what they are working with Alexa routines. Alexa routines work across your devices and is cloud based. The buttons pair to the hub. Flic buttons show up as a routine trigger option. Nothing connect just to an individual echo. The beauty of being a cloud based system.

[@dnoland77]

Till the price drops a little I'll keep using my echo buttons but I'm so glad that this product exists. If I didn't already have buttons I would buy right now.

[@utuber1000]

It is hard to feel motivated to buy these. The idea is to use a button instead of your voice, but in order to do so you have to purchase a special hub. With the hub, you get 3 buttons, each of which can only execute 3 commands, so the cost for executing 9 commands with your finger costs $160 plus $7 shipping from the Flic website; whereas you can buy an Echo Dot (3rd Gen) on sale for $30 that executes ALL of the Alexa voice commands. At first I thought it would be nice to have a button to turn off the light on my nightstand if I forgot to do so before putting on my CPAP mask, but for this price I'll just continue to tell Alexa to set sleep timer for 5 minutes with bed lamp beforehand. Cute idea but I think this company needs a new marketing plan!

[@dan1eldav1s]

Hi I thought you could run these of Bluetooth without the hub , is that right or wrong 😑, or are routines only available with a hub ?

[@CraigsTechTalk]

You can pair them directly to a Mac, android or iOS device. If you want to trigger any routines you do need the hub.

[@darrellwinston8909]

Does it need the hub to work with Alexa routines?

[@ddp2049]

Question. You need a flic hub to use the flic button ?

[@CraigsTechTalk]

You can pair the buttons to your phone with Bluetooth to do limited task on your phone. To really do anything with them, you need the hub.

[@ddp2049]

Thank you for getting back. I enjoy your videos.

[@alexlevine6570]

does it work for HomeKit locks like August? it's an authenticated action that's goofy with siri shortcuts

[@stuartbrotherton]

Craig, I see these as a very useful for Echo/Alexa but for just HomeKit FLIC vs IKEA button vs Hue button?

[@CraigsTechTalk]

I have not used the IKEA buttons yet. The thing I like is the flexibility and the reliability of them. For me, I want to have things work with all assistants when possible. Never know when it is worth taking advantage of one of the other assistants. I don't think the price is bad per button compared to others. I do need to try the ikea buttons. I have not tried the Hue button. But I do like how consistent my Hue devices have been. Lifx has been annoying me lately with its WIFI connection. Thanks for watching.

[@DrLydiaCraigmyle]

Thanks Craig for this excellent review! Being able to use the flic 2 buttons for my new Alexa routines will be really helpful. I haven’t gotten used to my vocal commands for all of my routines. I am half way in my dark room before I remember what to say to turn on the lights! This should be my memory building exercise, but frankly, I would rather push a button to get into my room with lights ! Craig is it possible to use flic 2 with speaker groups ??? I can’t seem to get a routine to utilize more than one speaker at a time. Thanks again for all of your tech reviews. I love them!

[@CraigsTechTalk]

Unfortunately, there is no way I know of to trigger groups. I don't think is going to help with that. What you could try doing is use a custom command step in your routine. Try typing what you would normally say, "Play TYPE OF MUSIC on NAME OF GROUP". Custom commands are meant to fill that void for actions. Hope that helps.

If you the Eve app with conditions can you add even more things? Like one press “if garage door is closed” open it and unlock door into kitchen....one press “if garage door is open” close it and lock kitchen door. This gives the single click two functions...no?

[@CraigsTechTalk]

That is an interesting idea. I think you might have to find some creative work arounds to trigger Eve. There is no Eve support within the choice of actions. But maybe triggering it through a phone, IFTTT, HTTP or another option might work.

Craig misspoke. You dont need the flic hub to control Alexa. The flics can connect to your phone. It is certainly more convenient to have the hub, otherwise the flics wont work when your phone leaves the house.

[@neighbortim]

Hmm. I have a short hallway into the master bedroom, and I have a motion sensor in the hall that turns on the light in that bedroom. The problem is turning this light off, because if I ask herself to do that while in the room then the motion sensor turns them back on again. I could put one of these small buttons as I exit the hallway to turn the light out, after I’m past the motion sensor. It is a little pricey with the hub though. I’ll think about it.

[@CraigsTechTalk]

You would buy these so you don’t have to open any app. It’s not a waste of money if your goal is to remove voice and needing the phone from the equation. The best routine can be activated by my 8 year old or my 80 year old mother in-law without needing to have a smart device or know the command to trigger the routine. I think some people who get into smart homes are excited because touch is quicker for a lot of things. Voice and apps are so inefficient for a lot of things in a smart home.

Hello Paul, that is awesome you are sharing the love across the tech community. I do appreciate it. Yeah, Brian and I are so close. I hope we can hold hands and cross the 100k finish line at the same time. 😀👍
