Flic + Voice recorder
Flic of the wrist!
Can always think of tricky situations in public or at work where you can't take your phone out that you want to record audio such as college lecture, meeting, audio note or potentially litigious conversation (hopefully not).
With flic you could be ready for those moments! Use the clip to attach it to the inside of your cuff, watch or bracelet and with one press it records and with two it stops. Would also work great with IFTT (Which everyone should vote for!) to save audio recordings to the cloud storage when finished.18 votesVoice recorder does work on the devices we have tried although it’s admittedly not very user friendly. When you start voice recording for the first time, it starts recording. When you execute the action a second time, it stops. The audio files are stored in your device memory (device Storage) in the folder Flic/Audio. We will look into how we can make the Action more intuitive, suggestions are very welcome!

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…

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"

Ultimate Car Companion
One press - Skip this track. Who really needs to urgently Play/Pause their music? Siri can do both, you have your volume knob, let's not waste a combo.
Double press - Play a random playlist. Long drive? Tired of this genre? Go to a random playlist for something fresh!
Long Press - Activate Siri, for everything else!17 votes -
Get distance between button and my device to perform a specific action.
Recover the distance between a button and my device to perform a specific action, and get distance paramater in sdk (signal force). (like EBeacon)
As opposed to monitoring, which enables users to detect movement in-and-out of range of the Flics, ranging provides a list of Flics detected in a given region, along with the estimated distance from the user's device to each Flic. Ranging works only in the foreground but will return (to the listening device) an array (unlimited) of all Flics found along with their properties.
A device receiving a Flic transmission can approximate the distance from the Flic.…17 votes -
Google maps on iOS
Be able to start Google maps as navigation on iPhone so you can get decent traffic info. My plan (I have it on Android) is to have a button in the car which with one press navigates home and with two to work so I can avoid queues.

LIFX LAN is amazing, but please add values, with the sliders so that we can see specific temperature, color, brightness value.
The sliders look visually clean for the UI, but user experience wise, it is rendered useless because of having to guess if i hit 2700K or is it 3200K?
Did I get 50% brightness or is it 70%?16 votes -

URL Scheme support
I tried making the browser open remote:// but it required the url to start with http :(
If i could just go to a url scheme it would be very powerful!
