Smart Flic button helps you remotely control your smartphone, home appliances and electronics
At Indiegogo, a new rising star has appeared above the horizon : the Flic project . The fundraising campaign for the project has already raised $ 320,000 instead of the $ 80,000 requested by the developers. And before the end of the campaign - another month. Most likely this campaign will be one of the most successful in the history of Kickstarter.
What is Flic? The device looks unusual: it is a button that seems to live by itself. In this case, to such an action, like pressing a button, you can bind any function of the smartphone (or some smart device). One button can tie the execution of three different functions. ')
Here's how it works:
In the case of the device hides, in addition to the button itself, the wireless Bluetooth communication module, which transmits a signal to the device, and receives the response. To connect with the smartphone Flic is a matter of ten seconds, after which you can begin to explore the possibilities of such a bundle.
As an example, the developers cite such functions as receiving a photo, searching for a smartphone, controlling a player, calling a selected number, sending their coordinates to a pre-selected phone number.
Something similar on Kickstarter has already appeared, if memory serves me. But Flic is the most functional of all such devices.
You can use not one, but several buttons at once. For example, use them in a car for quick access to smartphone features.
I personally know a lot of people who constantly lose their phone at home, and the search is delayed for a long time. Flic solves this problem.
Several functions can be linked to one button at once by specifying the reaction to various actions (single click, double click, holding the button).
Does a loved one often need help? Then you can attach a button directly to the clothes. By the way, Flic is a waterproof device, it is not afraid of rain.
If any smart device is tied to the phone, then such a device can be controlled. In addition, the developers have provided compatibility Flic with Harmony Hub - a smart hub from Logitech, and a separate set is provided.
The developer of the smart button also provides a developer kit. Well done guys think ahead.
The cost of the button is low - only $ 27. For "give two" you need to pay $ 49 - savings. The campaign has already raised more funds than required, so the button will definitely appear on the market. It should happen in March 2015.
We also ordered a couple of kits, we will certainly test them when we receive them, and tell you about the test results.
