Title: Almond Click - Smart Button with IFTTT Integration
Post by: vamsi.varanasi on December 01, 2016, 09:03:17 am
Hi Everybody!

Almond Click, our smart button is available for pre-order now at https://www.securifi.com/almondclick. We've also been featured on Product Hunt here: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/almond-click. You're welcome to visit the link and check us out on PH. We're doing a contest and giveaway there  ;D.

With more smart devices and services coming out everyday, the complexity of smart homes is increasing. Almond Click can make things simple again by tying everything to a physical button press. We have also rolled out IFTTT integration in the form of Almond Click triggers on our IFTTT service (https://ifttt.com/almond). This will let you control other devices as well with Click.

Going forward, this thread will be where you can post your queries and inputs about Click. We're already working on getting the deliveries on schedule to those of you who've pre-ordered. We hope you'll like Click!

Hi mparadis, I meant to say that we're hard at work to ensure that there are no delays down the line. I'm afraid shipping is still some time away. Naturally, we'll serve our pre-orders first, you'll have your Clicks soon!

Do the buttons have like a cradle/dock to mount it to a wall or something... or is it just the button....
I can see using them as a fixed button and a remote...

I might just use a small piece of adhesive velcro if I find a spot I want to put one semi-permanently. I imagine someone with a 3D printer could make one pretty quickly without issue.

Could we get specific dimensions in mm for the Click? Not that I know I will have time, but debating about making a 3D printed holder (or at least designing one).

im all about 3m dual-lock vs plain velcro.. But yeah.. id like something to attack/dock the button to.. heck might even consider some sort of magnet solution.. (amazon remotes and even some of Squeezebox remotes pre/post Logitech)...

Never used Dual-lock before, just looked it up, very impressive. Will probably give it a try, thanks!

Dual lock actually has a very good locking/holding force.. its very similar to industrial velcro... but it doesnt have a hook and loop side.. it just interlocks.... very clever improvement on velcro...

Is the dual lock the same as one of the 3m picture hanging command strips?

What kind of 3D printer have you got? I've always wanted to get one but haven't been able to convince myself yet.

Since the Almond doesn't support the Linear Z-Wave 3-Way Wall Accessory Switch for my patio lights, could I use this smart button to basically turn on/off my patio lights that are connected to a Linear WD500Z-1 Z-Wave 500-Watt Wall-Mount Dimmer Switch? Thanks,

Dave

I believe the answer is yes. You should be able to create virtual three way switches.

Also, I would like these to support a toggle function in the rules.

We've had to push our delivery date to February. This delay is being caused purely by logistical issues, and the product itself has been ready for some time now. We are working to sort the issues out and get you your Almond Click orders soon!

Also, I would like these to support a toggle function in the rules.

The toggle function is available in the "THEN" part of rules for some devices like Peanut Plug. If the device you want to control supports toggle, then you can attach one of the press events from the Almond Click to trigger that in the rule. So it depends on the target device more than on the Almond Click itself.

Example: If Almond Click long pressed, then toggle Peanut Plug #2

When do you think these will be available in the uk??

Somehow missed a bunch of questions here:
@mparadis:
I have a MakerBot Thing-O-Matic. It is very old now though, small build area, and it is wearing out a bit. Only so many swapping of parts and replacements...
@scroder: You can definitely use them with a WD500Z. Not sure if it is still relevant for you, but I programmed mine to control one as the first thing.

On the page Dan is referring to, the back button in the browser is disabled. Anyone know how to fix this?
