Make a Flic app for Apple TV
I have a habit of closing down iphone apps to save battery. But since the Flic app have to run for the buttons to work properly, the Flic app should be converted for the new Apple TV that has a app store. It shouldn't be too hard.

A WIFI version of Flic
- so no phone is required and actions can be set on an owner or flic hosted website!
282 votesHi everyone! We’re going to mark this idea as “under review” since the Flic Hub (http://bit.ly/flichub) is in process and that will allow you to use your Flics without a phone, and program them via wifi/ethernet.
It’s not the exact idea all of you are asking for in the comments but we believe it solves the main issue everyone agrees on: using Flics without your phone.
We’re sure the Flic Hub will solve a lot of things for you! But we’ll leave this topic open in case anyone wants to discuss it further. -
Raspberry PI integration
I would be really glad if it was possible to let my Raspberry pi connect to the Flic-button instead of my phone.
In that way the automation would work even if I am not at home.273 votesSoft launch of our Linux SDK today!! Please have a look at the lib and comment at Github.

Flic button and Volume Up and down key
is it possible for Flic to work the same way as the physical volume up and volume down button? I need this to control the movements in the application. Unfortunately, it currently doesn't work like physically pressing the volume buttons.

Integration with Homey (athom.com) for home automation purposes.
Homey is an awesome new home automation controller with an insane amount of supported protocols (z-wave, zigbee, wifi, IR, etc etc) which could benefit from integration with a device like this.

Better Sonos integration
As of now, The Sonos integration lacks some needed features.
• Sure, you can play/pause. But that will not solve the problem Start This Radio Station On This Speaker, unless that radio station on beforehand is on que in that speakers playlist. So, the play/pause feature needs the possibility to select a Sonos favorite to play.• Sure, you can select a specific speaker. But if you have the Playbar set up for tv sound (as a group of speakers), all those speakers show up with the same name (see attachment). Should be possible to select either the group or…

Have different uses for different times of the day/week or even different places.
I would like to use one Flic to be configured differently depending on when or where it is used. Imagine even the same Flic for different circumstances or places e.g. in the car driving vs at home vs at work.

Make Flic compatible with Apple Homekit
Make it compatible with Apple's Homekit to take advantage of older, existing home automation systems and their newly created Homekit bridges. (e.g. Insteon) This will greatly increase the number of devices it could control.

publishing the FLIC API so I can use it with Linux and gatttool as well
I do stuff with BTLE on Linux. I have written an interface to the TI SensorTAG so I can read out values. Would like to use Flic in a similar way. Just publish all the BTLE UUIDs etc.

Flic to trigger Alexa Routine
Flic to trigger Alexa Routine
Pressing a flic to trigger an alexa routine. Now the ability to launch a routine is available via Amazon's API. It would be great to get a flic to trigger a routine rather than going through a 3rd party service (as far as I am aware IFTTT haven't implemented the new routine feature yet).
