A Flic is a small button that connects to your phone via Bluetooth, and can be customized by app developers.
Baby Stats has built support for the Flic Button for adding Wet, Feedings or Stools.
You can customize which action (single click, doubl click, long press) goes to which command for the button.
Currently, we will only support 1 button.
How do I do it????
Open the Flic app (not Baby Stats... yet). Create an account on Flic or login with your existing Flic account.
Connect the Flic button in the Flic App (click the "+" and add your button, name it BabyStats).
Open Baby Stats, select "Setup Flic Button"
Set the Actions that correspond to the Flic (if you want to change the defaults)
Select the BabyStats button!
That's it! Now you just need to place/hang/stick the Flic by the changing table and you can track stats easily using it.
Single Click adds a Feeding, Double Click adds a Wet, Long Press adds a Stool.
Android Help:
This page shows you the baby stats tracks/counts per day, it's a summary of the diapers/feedings you have tracked. When you first open Baby Stats you won't see any data since you haven't tracked anything yet. Once you click one of the buttons to track a stat in, you can see each individual baby stats count. As soon as you press a button the baby stats count will be tracked and be able to be seen on any device (Android, Alexa etc..).
On the main page you have multiple options in the "..." on the top right of the baby stats main screen. One of the options is the "Counts" page to view each individual baby stats count you have tracked. These counts will be tracked on all devices.
Baby Stats lets you share your babies counts so they can be tracked on all of your devices. Use the ID generated on the Baby Stats mobile apps, or the Alexa skill, to link the devices together.
The Baby Stats Alexa skill makes it really easy to track baby stats at home, with just your voice. Say Alexa, ask baby stats to add poop and it will sync across any device using the same ID. Make sure to say Alexa, ask baby stats to get ID, and enter the ID into your mobile app.
Online Viewer Help:
The Baby Stats online viewer can be used to supplement your Alexa Skill, or for use on your computer.

Ask baby stats to get ID
Navigate to www.babystats.org, click on Help, then click on Help with Data Sharing for more info on how to share your account for other devices/platforms.
Help With Data Sharing
The online viewer and the mobile apps for Baby Stats are intended mostly as
a way to view/track stats in conjunction with an
AI assistant. If you want to use the mobile app as a stand alone
application without voice, you are welcome to, just
click the button below that says "Generate an ID for me" and one will be
created for you.
When you use Baby Stats each device/account on the AI assistant is assigned a unique ID.
Think of this ID as your account username, except it's auto
generated by Baby Stats so it contains no personal information.
The reason for auto generating an ID instead of asking you for a username
is for your privacy. We are serious about your privacy and we will
never store anything from you that would be considered private.
If you want to share one account with other devices or
other platforms, you can Set the ID of whatever device you are using.
This allows you to track your stats on any device using the same account.
Step 1: Identify which device is your "master" device, and copy the ID, for that device.
Step 2: Take that ID and set it by entering it in the textbox and click Load.

You could track stats on Alexa at home, Google Assistant on the go, or
Cortana if you're browsing the web. You can link all those accounts by:
Step 1: Identify which device is your "master" device, and ask Baby Stats to get ID, for that device.
Step 2: Take that ID and set it on any other device by saying, ask baby stats to set ID {the ID numbers in sequence} (so if the ID was 12345 you'd say "one two three four five")
NOTE: There is a confirmation and easy way to restore the old ID. Don't be afraid of messing it up, it may take a couple tries as you have to speak quickly. If the platform allows for typing that is recommended/easier.
Below is a picture showing you how to share data.
Help With Multiple Babies
You can now count stats with multiple babies on Baby Stats.
Enter your ID below, then follow the steps to convert your
account to allow multiple babies. NOTE: If you do not need
to use multiple babies, there's no reason to do this. Just
skip this step.
When you configure for multiple babies, each baby will get
their own unique ID/account that can be used independently, or
can be used from you main master ID/account. In the mobile app
and online viewer it will allow you to toggle between them.
In most cases you should not need to care about the baby's ID,
as you can track against any baby using your main account.
Now that you understand the way your account is linked
to the baby's account. Below is an explanation of the
fields specific to multiple babies.
1. Spoken Name allows you to nickname the baby. Baby Stats will use fuzzy matching to try to find the
correct baby based on what you have said, but in case your baby has a name that is difficult for
Alexa/Google to understand you can use this field to specify what Alexa/Google should be
listening for instead of the actual name (or maybe a nickname that Alexa/Google do understand.)
2. Display name is what is displayed and repeated back to you.
3. ID is auto generated for the baby. This is similar to your ID, it can be treated as a specific
account on it's own if you need/want to.
4. Is Default is a way to track stats without specifying the name of the baby. If you do not specify
a name, it will track stats against this baby.
Ok. Now that you know the basics. How do you do it?
Below you will see a button which allows you to convert your account to
allow for multiple babys. Once you have done that the Online Viewer will
show you all your babies and allow you to manage them.
The basic outline is you say "for {spoken name}" at the end of any of the normal phrases.
ask baby stats to add wet: (tracks a wet against Coleman because Coleman is the default)
ask baby stats to add wet for von: (tracks a wet against Vaughn)
ask baby stats to add wet for test: (tracks a wet against tester)
ask baby stats to get stats: (tells you the stats for Coleman because Coleman is the default)
ask baby stats to get stats for test: (tells you the stats for tester)
ask baby stats what time was the last wet: (tells you the last wet for Coleman because Coleman is the default)
ask baby stats what time was the last wet for Coleman: (tells you the last wet for Coleman)
ask baby stats to undo: (undoes the last count from Coleman because Coleman is the default)
ask baby stats to undo for von: (undoes the last count from von)
Help With IFTTT
You can now integrate directly with IFTTT. You can configure which stats you subscribe to and
everytime that stat is triggered you can have it kick off some action on IFTTT. Want to have it
log a stat every time to Google Drive? Want to start tracking sleep every time you turn off the
lights in the babies room? Maybe you just want to change the light color everytime you change
a diaper? The power is in your hands.
1. Enter your ID below, then click Load ID Information
2. Next enter your IFTTT key. If you have previously subscribed it would have auto populated when you clicked Load ID Information.
Help finding your IFTTT key
3. Next, highlight the events on the left and click Add Subscription for all of the subscriptions you want IFTTT to listen for.
4. Now save your subscriptions. This will update Baby Stats with the events you want IFTTT to know about. Next you will need to configure IFTTT.
