Forum rules Questions about hardware that can be controlled by Indigo (but not through the interfaces and plugins listed). If Indigo doesn't support some bit of hardware you're interested in, and you don't find a for it, add it to this forum. Be sure to include links to as much information as you can find about it.

Note: adding it here does not mean we're going to add it - in fact it's possible one of our 3rd party developers may decide to write a plugin for it. We add hardware/features based on a lot of different factors beyond just having a request for it. Flic wireless buttons are small 3-option smart buttons that link to a number of home automation systems including IFTTT, Philips Hue and others. One issue I've run into is the 'wife factor'. She just wants to turn off your bedside lamp at night without pulling out her phone. She could manually turn the switch but now the bulb is de-powered.

Flic offers a nice situation to add small buttons anywhere needed do bridge the gap between normal operation and smart bulb automation. Since this connects to the Philips, not sue how difficult it would be to integrate but this would be very nice!

Could be used to execute more complicated actions as well. Looks like you CAN use flic to launch indigo actions??

But it seems to require some scripting knowledge. ' Supported script files The following files are supported: Automator workflows (.workflow) All other files that are executable (chmod +x ascript.py) and contains a shebang on its first line (#!/some/path) Some examples of supported files: AppleScript -.scpt,.AppleScript - #!/usr/bin/osascript Shell Script -.sh - #!/bin/sh Ruby Script -.rb - #!/usr/bin/env ruby Python Script -.py - #!/usr/bin/env python '.Have not tested, not that used with scriping,so please publish you working script. I got this working via automator last week when they released the HaxWithFlic App.

I'm not a programmer so I'm sure there is a better way to do it but what works in about 2 min is to build an applescript in Automator to launch a action group (see below) and then map it to one of the button actions via the HaxWithFlic pull down menu. I have actions for Flic press, double press and press and hold. My Indigo PC is in a back bedroom and it works out on my deck. Hope this helps and like I said I just cobbled it together, I'm sure a more eloquent mechanism exists to make it work. I forgot to add, I don't think this setup uses /needs any internet access to work - it should all be local - but I have not put a sniffer on anything to verify.

The Flic Mac App supports digest authentication and, in fact, will attempt to get the credentials from the keychain so you don't actually have to pass the username/password on the URL.

When you set up the Internet Request action in the App, just specify the appropriate and type. When you click the execute button to test it, it will ask for permission to use the keychain to get the saved username/password. Always Allow (AFAIK) will then allow the app to get the creds as needed. Pretty nice actually - I might have to get a flic button just to test with. EDIT On second thought, $35USD seems like a lot for what it does. I'm sure others will find uses for it, but for me it's just not worth it.

Bringing our expertise to a new platform When we invented the smart button in 2013, we wanted to create a tool to save people’s time and to reduce complexity in technology. We had several use cases in mind. Put Flic in your home to control lights and music. Wear Flic to send distress messages or tell RunKeeper to start tracking your work-out.

Now we bring all that to Mac, along with the FlicLib - probably the best Bluetooth Low Energy library out there. Expect lots of new functionality to be added soon, and don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Love, The Flic team. Great news guys, well done. Tried it all works well. Only drawback for me is that there's no script running feature that was present in Hax.

Yes I could sort of do it via Xcode, but it relies on a single desired script being tee'd up in the whole time, and doesn't allow specific scripts for certain button presses (unless I've misread the situation). I get that Hax was just meant to be a bridge for more advanced users to get going with Mac scripting, but I think there are quite a few users who liked Hax and were just waiting for use with multiple buttons. I'm one of them. Please can the next release bring back the script launching facility, just as it was in Hax, except maybe prettied up to match the standard Flic UI.
