Device handler that tries to simulate an hardware flic button. Here's what it can do:
- Click, doubleClick and hold event
- For each click, doubleClick and hold event, record the last time the action was perforrmed
- Choose between black, white, turquise, green and yellow color
- Support multiple buttons of the same color to differenciate them
This device handler works really well with the expose-rest api app. https://github.com/jbisson/SmartThingsPublic/blob/master/ExposeRestApi.md Combined the two together, it allows you to receive click, doubleClick and hold events from a real flic button (hardware).
Once the event is inside the smartthing, you could use CoRE (Community’s own Rule Engine) for defining your own rule. (ie: When I click on my flicButton do this, ect) https://community.smartthings.com/t/release-candidate-core-communitys-own-rule-engine/57972
The mapping between action and button numbers are as follow, this will be very usefl if using CoRE smartApps:
Click event: Button#1 -> pushed
Double Click event: Button#2 -> pushed
Hold event Button#3 -> pushed
