Jun 18, 2018 - Flic gives you a few different options that will work for home automation, the Flic Hub, their Hax with Flic Mac application and their Flic SDK for.
I figured this might be a good place to post this. I am currently working on a full Flic application for the Mac, which will be very similar to the ones we have on iOS/Android. We will soon be needing some beta testers, so let me know if you are interested. The beta app will be lacking a little 'UI polish' and not all actions available, but other than that it 'should' be quite solid:) If there are any particular actions that you would like to see available that might make you more inclined to help out with the testing then let me know.
For now the list currently looks like this:. Philips Hue. LIFX. IFTTT.
Zapier. Slack. Sonos. Xcode (Mac specific). Keynote (Mac specific). Spotify (Mac specific). VLC (Mac specific).
Fart Generator (of course!) Most probably Wemo and Chromecast will be added to the beta as well. Would be great to be included in the testing as well. Any of these would be great: IFTTT Generic Keyboard commands (Mac) Launch/close an application (Mac) Philips Hue SmartThings On Tue, Feb 7, 2017 at 7:46 AM mlpease wrote: I'm up for testing. Most interesting to me: Hue, Slack, IFTTT, Zapier, VLC, and general computer operations (sleep/lock screen, eject disks, etc.) I don't use it much but I could also test Keynote. — You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or mute the thread. Two applications I really would appreciate are:. Plex integration, currently I have a Plex server and the client runs on the Apple TV, however I'm not sure how the communication works, i.e. Controlling playback remotely with the flic. Not really thought through.
SmartThings integration without the need of IFTTT Right now I'm using the MAC flic app to control Sonos but I found an issue with the current Sonos integration, it doesn't get the current state of the player. This means, if I press the flic for playback and then use the player's control to pause, I will have to press flic twice to play again.
Therefore I use the Sonos http API in combination with the flic mac app: which really works every time! Ok, here is the first beta (v0.1.7.Beta -Link removed-). I did not have much time to add the actions that were suggested in this thread, but the functionality will of course increase in upcoming versions. Anyhow, the purpose if this beta is to allow you to test out the core functionality and stability of the app.
I am well aware that the UI needs some improvements, so don’t pay too much attention to that. Please do not attempt to connect the same buttons to the FlicMac and the HaxWithFlic app at the same time. In the future we will also add the option assign the app to the status bar so that you don’t have to have the app icon in the application switcher. Minimum OS requirement is unfortunately OSX 10.11 due to some compatibility issues. I'm a user experience designer, most of my remarks will be user interface oriented. Signing out shouldn't be in the main menu (make it top right out of path of work) Signing out is missing a confirmation (do not destroy work without confirmation) Vertical tabs are missing feedback on which one is active (add an active color) Skip setup is broken Tutorial is missing a back button (timed out now i'm stuck) In the providers section, they have check marks, but it should be +, on arrival we just want to add stuff.
Hello again, We have now released a first version of the app to the public. You can check it out on our page. One warning though, in case you are upgrading from the Beta version, is that the Keyboard Maestro integration has been temporarily removed. This is done since we want to keep the option open to move it to the Mac App Store in the future and unfortunately that integration breaks the Apple's policies. Luckily we have a plan to make a plugin system for the app so that actions like that can be created and distributed separately. This way people would be able to create their own plugins as well.
Hello, If anyone is interested in trying out the Mac app version 1.0.6 then that would be appreciated. The app contains a basic version of the 'plugin system' to allow for own script execution.

Also new in this version is Microsoft Flow and IKEA Tradfri lights. Keyboard Maestro action is also added once again. It is not very straight forward on how you actually make and install plugins.
But for now basically up in the menu bar you can go to 'Plugins - Reload Plugins' and it will automatically load all plugins that lay in the plugin folder. The plugins will then appear in the action list like any other action. The plugin folder can be found through 'Plugins - Show Folder.' A plugin is basically only a folder with a JSON config file along with the scripts that you want to make available. I will attach a sample plugin that you can use for reference. It should be pretty clear how the config file works, but let me know if you have any questions.
