Flic Manuals & User Guides

Flic is a pioneer in the smart home industry, best known for its wireless Smart Buttons that bridge the gap between physical control and digital automation. Manufactured by Shortcut Labs AB, Flic buttons offer a user-friendly interface to control complex smart environments with a simple push, double-push, or hold action.

From controlling lighting systems like Philips Hue to managing music on Sonos or triggering Routines in Alexa and HomeKit, Flic simplifies daily tasks. The product line, including the Flic 2 and the rotary Flic Twist, functions via Bluetooth Low Energy and can be paired with the Flic Hub for whole-home connectivity independent of a smartphone.

• How do I pair my Flic button to my phone?

  Download the Flic App from the App Store or Google Play, create an account, and follow the in-app setup guide to pair your device via Bluetooth.

• How do I change the battery in my Flic 2?

  Twist the Flic button to the left (often while stuck to a surface to get leverage) to open the battery hatch. Replace the old battery with a new CR2032 battery with the positive (+) side facing up, then twist the lid back on.

• Is the Flic button waterproof?

  Standard Flic buttons are water-resistant but not waterproof. They should not be submerged. Waterproofing is possible using specific accessories like the Silicone Case for older models.

• How do I perform a factory reset on my Flic button?

  Remove the battery and re-insert it. Within 5 seconds of inserting the battery, push and hold the button for 10 seconds until it resets. This will erase all settings.

• What devices does Flic work with?

  Flic connects with iOS and Android devices via Bluetooth 4.0+. It integrates with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, IFTTT, Philips Hue, Sonos, and works with the Flic Hub for phone-free operation.
