This tiny button pulls off the wall and controls your lights and music with gestures
The Flic Duo made its debut at CES 2025. You can mount the smart button to the wall like a light switch or remove it and control the rest of your smart home with customizable gestures.

The dual-button remote allows users to create over 30 programmable motion-based commands, so you could, for instance, program the smart button to play a specific music playlist with a swipe. You could even configure the Duo to perform different tasks based on its location, so it turns into a light switch when mounted to the wall and functions like a music controller in your hand.
Flic’s also added other conveniences designed to make it easier to integrate with other smart tech. It’s compatible with Matter, for example, which means it works with all major smart home platforms, and offers up a replaceable battery that should last up to three years. And if you were to ever lose the button, you can easily keep tabs on its location via the companion Flic app.
In addition to being a smart home controller, the Flic Duo also includes safety features targeted toward senior adults and “lone workers.” These include fall detection capabilities and the ability to use it as a personal alarm via a built-in speaker. Flic says the remote should last for three years off a single coin-cell battery.
The Flic Duo will be available to preorder on January 28th at an “early bird price” of $49. It will ship sometime in the second quarter of this year.
