Amazon cancels Dash buttons

Awesome, guess I’ll try it again.

As I remember I wasn’t getting 100% reliability with the ARP packet method, so I set the doorbell to a static IP on my DHCP server, and my script would just ping that IP. That worked better (if I remember right) but still wasn’t completely reliable for me. Who knows, maybe it was just some issue with my network.

And oof, good point about them removing the ability to configure them through their web interface!

It would be awesome if there was a true, full root style hack for these buttons. Such amazing hardware, if we could get full control of them they’d be downright powerful.
