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.

Would be cool if functionality for IKEA's smart lightning system Trådfri could be developed for Flic.

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.274 votesSoft launch of our Linux SDK today!! Please have a look at the lib and comment at Github.

Dead man switch functionality
Record video while holding flic.
Mute volume/pause music while flic is pressed.
Stopwatch while flic is pressed.
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.
36 votesThis can be done on Android, but iOS would not let us do that.

A bridge to connect flic to the web/cloud
Somethings like the bridge of lockitron (http://help.lockitron.com/article/100-how-does-bridge-work):
flic -> bridge -> web/cloudso you don't need to have the phone with you.
57 votesThe Flic Hub can now be pre-ordered and works just like this. It’s a bridge to connect up to 64 Flic buttons to WiFi.

Kitchen Timer
1 press: 3 minute timer. Ever want to make the perfect poached egg? 3 minutes, done. Tired of bitter tea? Set a timer for 3 minutes so you don't over-steep. Ever put something back in the oven, just for a few more minutes, and come back to the oven 20 minutes later only because it was billowing smoke and your fire alarm was going off (yeah... Me neither...). Subsequent single presses will keep add additional minutes
Double Press: Start 10 minute timer / Add 10 minutes. Perfect home made cookies, every time. Also, it happens to be the average…

Delivering the flic to early backers

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

Desktop App
Multiplatform Flic apps for: Windows 10, Mac OS X, tvOS, Roku, etc... This would allow the Flic buttons to be a permant fixture in a home automation workflow without relying on a single user's mobile device.
Most desktop machines have bluetooth making this a software add-on rather than a hardware limitation.

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"

Create PC and Mac connection for Flic
Connect Flic to stationary hardware as well. Another million uses for Bluetooth-equipped computers. No long arms needed to turn on music when You stand over by the copier.
Press button upon entering the office, shut off surveillance webcam and open browser by the time You reach Your desk.
Basically the same stuff as with mobile devices. Pure work luxury, impressed staff, elegant moves.....
147 votesWe now have a Mac App! Read more about it at https://flic.io/mac-app/ or join the discussion on Product Hunt! – https://www.producthunt.com.
If we see a good response for the Mac App we will consider developing for PC as well.
