Misfit’s new smart button and app control more devices in your world

Adding to its extensive and fashionable product line of wearables, accessories and gear, Misfit Wearables Corp. announced a new smart button, the Flash Link, giving users more interactive control points over other connected devices in their world. Along with the Flash Link is a new app called Misfit Link, to manage it all.

The app allows users to use any Flash to take a selfie with their smartphone camera app or Snapchat; control music playback on Spotify, Pandora and other music streaming services; advance slides in a presentation; and more functionality will be introduced such as IFTTT and Logitech Harmony integrations.

The Misfit Link is now available for download on iOS and will be available for Android next month.

The Misfit Flash Link is now available on misfit.com and includes the tracker/smart button device and a companion clip, which allows the user to wear it anywhere. The device will be available for purchase in retail stores worldwide later this quarter.

Aside from the new app and device, the company also announced the reduction in price for its Shine and Flash trackers. The Shine is now priced at $69.99 and the Flash retails for $29.99.

“We’re focused on making products everyone can use. Flash Link is not just a more affordable wearable, it’s a more powerful one,” said Tim Golnik, Misfit’s Vice President of Product and Design.
