While\u00a0<\/span>smart\u00a0homes are better with voice commands, sometimes you don\u2019t want to yell to turn off your lights or run a routine. If you\u2019re having a conversation or watching TV, voice commands don\u2019t work as well. Flic\u2019s smart buttons<\/a> can solve that problem by running your smart home at the push of the button. And now they can fire off Alexa commands too.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not familiar with the Flic 2 smart button, it\u2019s a small and discreet button you can stick anywhere in your home. With an optional hub, you can connect it to various smart home systems, including HomeKit, IFTTT, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyone who has ever tried an Amazon Echo Button<\/a> knows the convenience of skipping voice commands and firing a routine with a push instead of talking. You could set them to turn on all the lights in a room, give you the latest weather from a nearby Echo, and more. But Amazon discontinued the buttons, and you can\u2019t buy them anymore.<\/span><\/p>\n

Flic\u2019s latest update adds Alexa routine functionality for free on both the original Flic and the Flic 2 buttons. You don\u2019t have to have a hub, but having one will add stability. Without a hub, the buttons will connect to a nearby Echo over LE Bluetooth.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the update, you can trigger any command that\u2019s possible with voice. That\u2019s handy when Alexa may have trouble hearing you due to background noises like a movie on the TV or ongoing conversations. To get the new functionality, you just need to update the Flic app<\/a> and link it to Alexa.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can find Flic buttons at Amazon in starter packs that include the Hub<\/a> or just three buttons<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
