Default Flic button

Does anyone know what the Flic button is and why would I want to install it?

Not 100% sure, but it seems to be a Smart Button:

I do not have VOC, so not sure?

In terms of functionality it's like the Shortcuts app in IOS but as a physical button to serve as shortcut.
The Flic app allows you to program workflows to achieve a certain action. Turn on/off lights, order a saved menu from a sushi site for example, etc.

So you buy a rubber button (Flic), install the app (Flic app) on your phone and you program on the app what do you want to achieve with your Flic button.

Since there is an integration between VOC and the Flic app on your phone, you can integrate the basic operations from VOC in Flic, for example enable parking climate.

So in practice, if you press the button that you can place anywhere (near your bed, couch, whatever) that is mapped for example with the action "start the parking climate" and you dont need to go to your phone, open the VOC app and start the parking climate.

So it's a gizmo...

So you have to buy a button for it to work. I thought that maybe it was a button somewhere on the Volvo. No thanks.

Yes, I tried it out as you have to with all techie stuff...........but no advantage over my iPhone/iWatch combination.
So now transferred that Flic button to a more productive use - that of turning on/off my Sonos system.
