Step 1. Get a Flic Button

Rachel edited this page Aug 13, 2018 · 2 revisions

The Flic is a bluetooth smart button that uses your phone to do whatever you program it to (like call an Uber! Uber shoes, anyone?). I chose to use this instead of, say, hacking an Amazon Dash button, because the Flic uses your phone to look for presses instead of a Raspberry Pi.

The Flic also has the benefit of being about the size of a quarter - the perfect size for a shoe tongue!

You can buy a Flic on Amazon for about $34. Buying a pack of 3 is cheaper (one shoe for pizza, one shoe for Uber?!).
