Flic Twist Starter Kit Including Hub Mini and Twist Controller

Control Anything at Home with Just a Twist

Add wireless smart control over Bluetooth connected lights, devices, and scenes around your home with the Flic Twist Starter Kit! This Bluetooth automation kit contains a Flic Twist smart programmable controller and a Flic Hub Mini that together control and coordinate various smart devices around your home, programmed smart home routines, or even specific commands within applications or software on your computer or mobile device. The Flic Twist triggers simple to complex functions through one of four commands – Push, Double Push, Rotate, Push & Rotate.

The Flic Hub Mini maintains Bluetooth connectivity between Flic products and their connected devices, ensuring constant operation when a controlling mobile device is not available. In addition to controlling various Bluetooth compatible devices, Flic supports hundreds of third-party integrations from leading tech and smart home brands and ecosystems including Amazon Alexa, Matter, IFTTT, SmartThings to act as additional action keys for specific smart scenes or tasks.

Flic Twist

The Flic Twist offers simple and intuitive control over your lights, home audio devices, and small appliances. Each button can be triggered in 4 different ways: Push, Double Push, Rotate, Push & Rotate, to turn On/Off devices or a single smart scene, Dim/Brighten lights or Raise/Lower volume or curtains and blinds, or switch between automation scenes. Each trigger can be customized to activate different individual devices or groups of devices. The Twist's Selector features allows you to program and select up to 12 custom triggers to activate by rotating the Twist to a specific position represented by a lit LED. Each position is referred to as clock positions in the app, 1 to 12 o'clock. For example, set the Twist to 1 o'clock to raise all blinds, 4 o'clock to trigger Alexa to play music, and 7 o' clock to dim the lights in the living room.

Flic Twists take smart lighting control to the next level with Smart Dimming and Advanced Dimming functions. Flic Twists are capable of dimming lights individually, collectively, or in sequence. Dimmable and color changing lights can be included into the same lighting routine with synchronized dimming and brightening or in sequential order for unique lighting settings. For example, all dimmable lights in a room can be controlled at once, but the central ceiling lamp will dim/brighten faster than the other smaller lights.

Flic Twist's innovative Scene Blender mode allows you to smoothly transition between up to 4 different lighting or audio scenes. This feature is best used in rooms full of Bluetooth connected dimmable lights or audio devices. Switching between two different lighting scenes causes dimmable bulbs to smoothly slide from one lighting scene to the next with minimal lag or flickering. Switching between two audio presets allows you to move your active audio channel from one room to another, or from one room to the entire audio system, or change audio settings.

Essentially any device with Bluetooth compatibility can be controlled by a Flic Twist. A constant Bluetooth connection with a dedicated hub, such as your smartphone, tablet, or a Flic Hub, is required in order for Flic devices to retain their programmed triggers. If connected to a Flic Hub, a Flic Twist can utilize Bluetooth 5.0 Long Range to communicate with compatible devices up to 164 ft (50m) indoors or up to 656 ft (200m) direct line of sight.

Flic Hub Mini

The Flic Hub Mini is perfect for building a smart system within a single household. The Flic Hub Mini maintains Bluetooth connections between Flic products and their controlled devices when a Bluetooth connected smart device (such as your smartphone) is not within operating range. This gives you and your family or roommates the freedom to continue using your Flic devices and maintain your programmed settings. Up to 63 Flic devices can be connected to a Flic Hub Mini or Flic Hub LR (sold separately).

Installation Details

Flic Twists are powered by a single AAA battery with an average lifespan of up to 2 years.

Flic by Shortcut Labs – Simplicity and Accessibility

Flic was created by Shortcut Labs AB in 2013 with the goal of making technology more accessible and easier to use through physical controllers that anyone can understand. Flic products are designed with as few limits as possible so anyone can use them to fulfill their creative projects and innovative businesses.
