You don't need a keyboard to do this. You can just reverse the order of configuration. First configure the flic button to the desired key combo and save it, then go Accessibility -> Keyboard and when it asks you for a keycombo for your shortcut, just press the flic button
This doesn’t work, the iPhone doesn’t recognize the key presses. Am I doing something wrong?
@@mindfxvideoyou need to connect Flic button as a regular blue tooth device after its setting are saved in app
@@vfil Hugely appreciated and all working perfectly now!
Would be cool if the button didnt cost an arm and a leg
You can do with NFC tags also. Just have to bring phone close to nfc tag.
@@birdofthunder95isnt the same 😂
@@Yoskio You can buy rolls of 5 or 10 NFC stickers over AE, which cost less than 15 cents a tag...
@@fluxcapacitor i know i have a bunch of nfc, even stickers but i mean isn’t the same using nfc as having the technology mentioned in the video
@@Yoskio Sorry I thought you were sayin the opposite, ie "isn't it the same?" whereas you stated it's two different things! And I concur, besides the technology being different, the usage is different too: with an NFC tag you need your phone with you, take it out of your pocket, and align it precisely for several seconds onto the NFC tag VS just press the damn button ^^
Literally what I was looking for. Thank you. 🔥
Excellent video Shane, very creative. Flic buttons are too expensive though for what they do IMO..😊
Great video, and a VERY creative use of Accessibility…
I was watching this, and kept thinking “Umm, yeah, but you’re going to need your phone with you due to the necessity of a Bluetooth connection…”
Since I have other workarounds (HomeBridge, Signal for HomeKit, etc) to accomplish similar results, I was kinda wondering about how this could fit into my ecosystem.
At the very end of the video it hit me…
A Flic button configured in this manner would be PERFECT in a vehicle. The possibilities for Leaving/Returning home are endless…they’d not be reliant on Geolocation…and a text message verification of successful completion could occur.
- Dammit Shane (and Francesco too)…I may have to go buy Flic Buttons now.
🤣
Thanks, as always, for the content. Cool stuff.
😂 thanks for watching!
Dude, this one is awesome. I love Flic buttons. I have several connected to my home with the hub and one in my car as a more convenient play/pause button for media. I was looking for a way to trigger a shortcut on the car button without the hub. Should have known you'd be the first search result!
I’ve been reminded that many of our Flic buttons do stuff no one remembers in my house. I was just thinking that it would be great to have a Siri message when any of the buttons are pressed to share what it is that it just did (or that the long press - rarely used - can tell folks what the single and double presses do).
This should enable me to do so!
Woah! I knew the Flic uttons were awesome, but I had no idea they could do this. Time for me to place an order. Thanks for the tip!
Great walkthrough! Wish they were affordable.
Thank you for the video 🎉 this is awesome 😎, I’m trying right now however is the space bar and the 500ms delay necessary?
I have managed to get this working with an iPad mini. At the moment i find that i have to keep the Full Keyboard Access turned on - if anyone has a suggestion on how i can revert to a soft keyboard without messing it up, please tell me. Thank you Shane
Bought a three-pack of Flic buttons. Had to go through a couple more steps to get it to work. One key point is to NOT connect to Bluetooth until after you go through the setup.
That's a great video, Shane, and it still works. Many thanks!!!
This looks great and kind of what I want to do, to trigger taking an audio not while riding my bike. It would be good to have an app-button where you could assign a personal shortcut straight to a button press, but this is essentially the same thing. THIS IS NOT A HACK (like having actions triggered by setting changing focus on your phone), this is just programming. Setting the hotkeys to trigger the shortcut is really just an extension of setting up the shortcut in the Shortcut app in the first place. This is like using Auto Hot Key on an windows machine, I don't know what the Mac equivalent is.
I just need to work out how to buy a Flic button in Australia, or find an alternative.
All I want to do with it is set up an auto call for my grandfather, he’s not great with tech but he’s an ol stubborn cowboy and would realllly like to be able to set up a one click phone call to me or a family member in case of an emergency or something similar. Would I be able to use this method to do this? Or even to just send a text message. He uses an iPhone.
same thing bought couple of this to set up as a remote
Did anyone figure out why after using the Flic - the iPhone starts highlighting areas of the screen, choosing apps, etc.? - it does trigger the shortcut as expected but the phone goes a bit crazy after pressing the flic button.
Always enjoy your videos, I’ve learned so much from you. THANK YOU 😊
Thanks for watching!
Wow. Amazing tip. What will I do with the 3 or 4 flic buttons I’ve yet to activate? 🤔
Thanks for another great tip on how to continue to expand functionality of a smart home! PS (sorry...minor point) the hyperlink for 'Trend Micro' offer captured the "and" so one needs to copy paste the link and delete the "and" for it to work. Looking forward to your next post!
Fixed it. Thanks for letting me know and thanks for watching!
I haven’t got a full keyboard tap. Is there some setting I have to turn on so that I’m able to set this up?
I really enjoy your videos. They give me a lot of ideas for my own home. Except the “wife approved” videos 😊
In my home I’m the HomeKit nerd 😂
Hey, great video, thumbs up. I'm curious, does this work with iPads? I have one mounted to control my office and would love to use this button with that device. Thanks again.
Do you still need to buy the flic hub to run these personal shortcuts?
No hub needed if connecting them directly to your phone like we did in this video.
@@ShaneCreates Thanks Shane. I sincerely enjoy all your videos. Very informative and creative.
This facility would be great for my wife who has every poor sight. I have tried to set this up to run a personal Shortcut and it worked the first time i tried
It, but every time thereafter there is an error message to the effect that the button is out of range. It shows as being connected in the Bluetooth area of IPhone settings, and nothing i do seems to make any difference. Same effect using an iPad. Any suggestions please?
Thanks Shane fantastic video as usual. Yesterday all my HomeKit devices stopped working and instead in the HomeKit App are showing ‘Updating…’ Any idea why, or what I should do? I have upgraded to the last est updates on my Mac, iPad, iPhone, HomePods and HomeKit but I’m baffled??
Thanks again mate
Are there any matter thermostats not made by google nest?
Excellent!!
As soon as I connect the flic this way, my iPhone thinks a keyboard is connected and I cannot use the on screen keyboard anymore and also there are square rectangles around parts of my screen. Anyone knows the solution for this?
Same here - saw the video and ran out and spent $30 on a Flic button... but now that I've set it up and can't input text on my phone this is useless :(
I'm having the same problem. Were you able to find a fix?
@@JeffAMaxfield nope, wasted a couple more hours on it. There’s an “alternative keyboard” mode for the Flic that doesn’t bring up the keyboard, but it also doesn’t activate keyboard control, so that not much use.
@@robotheboboafter playing around with it for a bit longer I got it to work by removing the Cmd/Win check box. Still testing but so far so good!
@@JeffAMaxfield Awesome - are you using alternative keyboard?
Hey Shane, great video, thank you very much for this. I was following your instructions and trying to run shortcuts using an iPad instead of the iPhone for execution as the iPad is always home. Unfortunately, the iPad version of this will only execute the shortcuts when the iPad is unlocked while pressing the Flic button. Is there any workaround for this?
Hi Jan, thanks for watching! I have not tried configuring these automations with an iPad so I can't say for sure. Although I am surprised that it would work differently than the iPhone.
I have it working on my iPad 9th gen running iPadOS 17.1.2
7:57 Why say homekit instead of the correct name which is Apple Home?
Wait dude, that AppleTV Everything shortcut you have 4:46 5:14 , I actually made that. How funny that ended up in this video 😂
Awesome! 😎 Thanks for making the great shortcut available!
@@ShaneCreates You’re welcome! I’m actually working on a big update on that shortcut.
Can you do the same thing with $15 Ikea shortcut buttons?
The ikea buttons dont connect to homekit or your phone at all so nope
Question: can I use my Apple Mac keyboard as I don’t have a Logitech keyboard
Yes, you should be able to connect your Apple bluetooth keyboard to your iPhone.
Way to expensive for me those flic buttons…
I agree
no longer possible, flic universal is gone !!
I created a shortcut to open/close my Chamberlain garage; unfortunately when my son leaves the house in the early morning to go to work, he doesn't close the garage. I plan to use this to close the garage behind him so I don't have to get out of bed to close it, just press the button and go back to sleep 😴
Is there an alternative for poor people like me? 😆
Ikea makes a version of this for a fraction of the cost.
IKEA buttons cannot do this.
Ridiculous number of steps to set this up. Is there any shortcut for this 😂
This solution is not practical. It requires that you give up your iPhone keyboard...
It works initially and later after some time, it does not work. It treats as a keyboard and later iphone does not respond. Not even a work around.
Your title says iOS shortcuts, but it works with HOME shortcuts, not iOS shortcuts.
Did you watch the video? 🤔... I show how to use the buttons for iOS Personal Shortcuts.
*Needs $150 hub that only works with these buttons.
You don’t need the hub if connecting directly to the phone like in this video.
