How this automation works

Control your smart home by triggering a Wink shortcut with a simple Flic button press. This Applet runs when a Flic with a specific tag is clicked, double-clicked, or held, and it activates a selected Wink shortcut. Perfect for conveniently managing home lighting or routines using quick physical controls.

Realtime Applets run after the trigger service notifies IFTTT of a new trigger event. Since IFTTT is notified proactively of new trigger events, realtime Applets normally run within a few seconds of a trigger event occurring.
You can create tags and give them to your Flics, so multiple Flics can be used with a single Recipe.
