Flic Announces its Tiny Smart Button – Flic Duo

Flic, the creators of the Flic smart button, have announced their latest product at CES 2025: the Flic Duo. Building on over a decade of experience, the Flic Duo is designed to offer a straightforward yet versatile way to manage your smart home.  A more compact design than many traditional wall-mounted light switches, the Flic Duo lets users take control of their smart home through simple button presses – or more importantly – customised gestures. One feature is its detachable design, allowing it to be used in hand for controlling music, lights, blinds, or other devices, before being returned to its wall mount.

It appears to be a clever and ‘little’ device that seems to combine practicality with a modern design – a good start for anyone looking to streamline their home setup. The Flic Duo reimagines how users interact with our surroundings with its intuitive design and versatility, making it accessible to all, whether you’re a tech enthusiast or just looking for a straightforward way to simplify your daily routines.

Key Features of Flic Duo;

• Simplicity – The Flic Duo is designed with ease of use in mind, making it suitable for all ages. Like a traditional light switch, a single press turns lights on or off – no tech expertise required.
• Motion Controls – For more advanced users, the Flic Duo can be detached from its magnetic mount to unlock gesture-based commands. Swipes, rotations, and button presses can be configured into over 30 unique actions, offering a flexible way to control devices.
• Minimalistic Design – At 8mm thick, the Flic Duo sits (almost) flush on walls with its magnetic mount. Its compact size makes it easy to carry, whether you’re using it at home or on the go.
• Dual Personalities – The Flic Duo adapts to its location. Mounted on the wall, it can control lighting, but when held, it can switch to managing music or other functions, depending on your needs.
• Find It Fast – Lost your Flic Duo? The Flic App includes a locator function with an audible beep, so you can track it down quickly.
• Customisable Accessories – Flic Duo offers a range of optional add-ons to suit different needs, including:
  • A clip-on with a lanyard for portability.
  • A waterproof case for outdoor use.
  • Symbol stickers for easy button identification.
  • An ultra-thin magnetic wall mount for seamless integration.
• Easy Setup – Despite its advanced features, setting up the Flic Duo is supposedly straightforward. The app’s intuitive interface makes it easy to configure gestures and commands.
• B2B Applications and Safety Features – The Flic Duo isn’t just for homes – it’s also designed as a tool for businesses. In sectors like elderly care and lone worker safety, it can function as a personal alarm with two escalation levels, providing tailored responses in emergencies.

For added safety, the Flic Duo includes fall detection, making it especially valuable for elderly users and lone workers. These features integrate smoothly with existing Flic business solutions and can be enabled via a software update, ensuring a hassle-free upgrade to enhanced functionality.

The Flic Duo will be available in two colour ways – black or white, and is compatible with Matter, via one of the company’s Flic Bridges using Bluetooth. It also offers up to 3 years of battery life on a single CR2032 coin battery. The Flic Duo is set to ship in Q2 2025, with preorders opening on 28th January.
