If you complete the setup correctly, when you push the Amazon dash button, It will light up white (connected to wifi) then turn Orange/red (cannot make purchase). IF THE BUTTON TURNS GREEN, then you've ordered something. Go and cancel that order (unless you want it) and delete the button from your account to start over.
Hi there, Thank you for sharing this! I'm a noob and trying to see if I can set this up as a "silent doorbell" for my networking class, so I apologize if I'm missing something completely obvious. My question is in regards to part 2, when using a PC to set up the dash button. I am able to see the Amazon ConfigureMe in the wifi options and even connect to it. However, I'm confused by "Follow the instructions to setup wifi, and then your button's light should be off." When I click on the Amazon ConfigureMe, my computer connects, but does nothing else and the dash button continues to blink blue. I was wondering if you could get into more detail about how to set up the dash button using a PC. Thanks again, I appreciate you sharing this!

Hi! Sorry for the late reply. If you don't wish to use a mobile device to setup the Amazon button, the process is a bit more involved. Since you're in a networking class, I assume you're familiar with finding and navigating to a default gateway? Connect to the Amazon dash button with your PC, Find and http to the default gateway, and via the built in webserver you can setup the Wifi settings for the button. I strongly suggest you setup the button with the mobile app and associate it with your Amazon account though. I realized if you do that, and you push the button at least once (Even if you didn't "select a product") the next time you buy something from Amazon normally (not with the button) you will recieve a $5 credit! Doesn't matter what you buy!!!
If you want to setup the button on the wifi that you have, just browse this command: _ssid=SPECIFIED_SSID&amzn_pw=SPECIFIED_PASSWORD and the dashbutton will registered on that wifi connection with that password
post? like a POST request? Unfortunately you wont be able to go directly from dash button to arduino, but if you like, you could create a small script to send your POST request and activate it with this program!
Hi, finally i've found the solution to my problem. Using a script on D1mini that intercept the ARP packet, it detect any time the dashbutton is pressed, than i can make a post directly from arduino. The dashbutton is only used to send an "hello world" to the net where the arduino is listen. :) look at here...
If you have the older dash button versions, you would be able to web into the dash button itself (during pairing mode) and enter your credentials directly! However I am under the impression that this has changed in the recent past and is no longer an option.
Has anyone figured out the interrupt for the actual button on the dash button circuit board. I would like to execute my code only when the button is pressed and I cannot find the interrupt to intercept when it is pressed.
The 52 connector is not the Molex 503548-1020. The pitch is correct but locating pin is different along with the mounting pads. This picture is of the dash button with the original connector and the Molex just to its right.
Yeah, when I first read of the Dash buttons becoming unavailable, I heard something along those lines: basically, the opinion was that the ease and cost of devices like the ESP8266 effectively stalled any further work on the Dash hacking because of that disparity in effort needed (one thing that had to be bodged versus something designed to be customised and put into your own solution).
what i like about dash buttons is, they can be used as sensors (just attach reed switch/tilt sensors) to button connectors. they use single AA battery (replaceable in v2, esp8266 requires more to run). Excellent power management (lasts years where as esp8266 will probably last few days). For simple operations they work great.esp8266 provide more flexibility in but at cost of power requirements and packaging.

This seemed to show that the dash button shows twice on the button press. I guess this means we should drop any requests that are within a few seconds of each other. This is something to keep in mind for the further development of this project in case running things twice would be a problem for your choice of use for the button.
No matter what projects you want to try with the Dash button, make sure you watch this video first. It contains the easiest explainer of how to find the MAC (media access control) address for your dash button, which will come in handy for each of the following projects.
Dash button hacks popularized by people like Ted Benson involve detecting an ARP Probe request made by the button ( a common way to avoid IP conflicts on a network ). The hack uses a running script that listens for ARP requests coming from the known MAC address of the button on the local network. When a request from the button is identified, an action is performed in response.
After exiting the Amazon App, the Dash button will do everything it needs to do and you can safely use it to perform various tasks without fear of buying stuff. Now for the fun part, running code in response to a dash button press. There are really two ways to do this.
We'll discuss how to hack standard Dash Buttons for other purposes below, but Amazon offers a dedicated "smart button" as well. The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Internet of Things (IoT) Button is more expensive than the others, but lets you code logic for the button in Amazon's cloud.
Dash Buttons occasionally drop to $1 per unit, so you may want to wait for a sale if you're just buying a button for messing around. Feel free to browse the Dash Button collection and choose your favorites. The brand on the button won't have any effect on the hacking. If you're ordering several buttons to perform different functions, it's a good idea to buy ones that are different colors and thus easy to distinguish.
Next, you'll need to identify the button on your network. For a guide on this, have a look at the original Dash Button hacking article, written by Ted Benson. He's the one who initially hacked Dash Buttons to track his baby's nighttime habits, and explains how this works in the post.
To setup it you shold have Amazon Prime subscription, without it there are no button setup options in amazon mobile app.Even if you had Prime subscription before and already bought a number of buttons, when your subscriptiongone, you cannot setup even already bought buttons.
Amazon app constantly changing but the general direction - you should place the button near your phone and select in amazon mobile app Your account -> Dash buttons and devices -> Set up a new device.And you go in the set up process to the point where they ask you to choose the product - do not do that, just stop here.If you select a product, every button press will order that product and I think this is not what you want.
To get MAC-address you can use web-server inside amazon button. Connect to wifi Button ConfigureMethat is created by amazon button before you set it up.Open web-page and on this page find MAC-address.
For button that you already setup you can see MAC-address in my app log. My app logs every MAC-address once (after reboot), so after you press your amazon button the MAC-adress would be last one in the log.
To the best of my knowledge you have to set up the button through the app (partially) to tell it how to connect to the wifi network you want it on. After that you can log out of the amazon app on the phone you used to set it up and everything should still work.
i configured the button with the wifi password using the amazon app on my iPhone, but did not choose a product. unfortunately every time i pressed the button it tries to phone home and the iPhone app tells me to finish the setup. so then i went into my router and pointed the amazon address the button tries to resolve to 0.0.0.0, and now amazon does not know when i push the button anymore. but of course no dash button will work with that IP address blacklisted.
If your button has been connected to the Internet after December 31, 2019, it has probably beenbricked and at the moment there is no solution. If you have never configured your button it isnecessary to hack it first. If you already have it configured but want to change your Wifi network,go to Configure wifi.
The hack-device command allows you to hack a Amazon-dash device built on May 2016 and earlier.Even if your device was purchased later, it is likely that it has an older firmware installed. You onlyneed to use this option if you have never connected your device to Amazon servers.
The configure command allows you to change the Wi-Fi network of your device. It can also be used toget device data like MAC Address. This command only works on Linux. This command will change the wifi networkof your computer. Amazon-dash support NetworkManager and iwconfig + dhclient but NetworkManager isrecommended because it does not require root. To configure your button:
These button can be found on ebay, amazon or aliexpress like following this link for less that 6$. The button is paired to the smartphone and then allow to execute photo shoot without the need of any third party application.
As detailed in a blog post, the system was set-up by sticking the button on the wall, installing the node-dash-library and ensuring a small amount of code was installed. "It just sits there and listens to the network," Smith explains. "When the button wakes-up, it stores the time in the spreadsheet through Zapier." 2ff7e9595c
