scenes.
2 BLINDS TYPES

versions to fit both
horizontal and vertical
blinds types

a solar panel. No need for
power outlet or battery
changing.

instantly with a tap.
GROUPS

3. COMFORT
No need to run around the house to open and close all those multiple window
blinds, no need to climb up the furniture to close those hard-to-reach
windows.
ENERGY SAVINGS
With smart daylighting you rely less on artificial lighting and reduce the load
on air conditioning. 5 FlipFlics pay off in 9 months!
ADDITIONAL SECURITY
Blinds move by themselves when you are on vacation or business trip and
the house looks occupied.
BLINDS AUTOMATION ALLOWS FOR:
Sensor integration
It is fitted with indoor temperature sensor and photo sensor.
Control algorithm evaluates heating, cooling or neutral mode,
time of the day, and determines optimal shade position.
Autonomous and networked intelligence
The device may be a standalone product that is controlled with
a smartphone application. It may also be integrated into
building/home automation system and be controlled through
the third party gateway and interface application. It
communicates with other devices via Bluetooth Low Energy
and ZigBee. For some applications the third-party gateway
may be used to control large groups of FlipFlics. Gateways can
be intermediaries to Wi-Fi enabled features like IFTTT.
In the future we plan to add Z-wave protocol.
4. Installation
The device is attached to the blind head rail with magnets. One
doesn’t need any tools to install FlipFlic on existing blinds. E.g. in
case of venetian blinds one would need to detach wand for manual
control and clip the device to the regulating mechanism to replace
manual control with automatic control.
FlipFlic for Horizontal Blinds fits horizontal Venetian blinds, where the
twist / rod / tilting wand can be detached. FlipFlic works with
1''/25mm/ mini blinds up to 78'' (200 cm) wide and 2''/50 mm/ blinds up
to 60'' (152 cm) wide.
FlipFlic for Vertical Blinds works with vertical blinds with either wand-
or chain- control of the slats position. It is super easy to install. Snap
FlipFlic from either side of the headrail right on the rotating shaft. It
also detaches easily. Make sure you have 2 inches to the wall from
either side of the headrail to fit the device.
STEP THREE
Snap FlipFlic on the
remaining part of the
tilter where the wand
used to be.
STEP ONE
Stick the solar panel
onto the window glass.
STEP TWO
Simply detach the tilting
wand you usually use to
rotate to adjust blinds
manually.
5. Solar-Powered
FlipFlic is absolutely autonomous. It has a built-in
battery, recharged via micro USB with a solar panel.
There is no need for power outlets or battery
replacements.
A solar panel, installed indoors, harnesses the sunlight.
Simply stick it to the window glass. If you choose not to
use the solar panel or are in a dark or shaded window,
FlipFlic is easily removed for periodic charging via
standard MicroUSB cable (included). Without the solar
panel, we estimate that recharging may be required
approximately once every 30 days of average use.
6. Smart Home Integration
Integration in progress
FlipFlic can be integrated into your pre-existing smart home systems via BLE and ZigBee.
We are members of Icontrol Labs, which ensures the ZigBee firmware in FlipFlic will be Icontrol-certified and
available to users of supported smart home solutions powered by Icontrol Networks. This means Flipflic will be
compatible with other Icontrol-supported products (like ADT Pulse, Xfinity Home, PEQ, Piper) and eligible for
distribution through their service provider channels.
and counting. FlipFlic will accommodate new smart home integrations by one step firmware updates installed using
the mobile app.
