Previous HN conversation on it is at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11687463 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11687463. TNW article about it is also pretty decent - http://thenextweb.com/gadgets/2016/05/16/dash-elsewhere/ http://thenextweb.com/gadgets/2016/05/16/dash-elsewhere/ I suppose in the article I should have mentioned that I expected the button to be able to fire whatever HTTP payload that I wanted. Probably an odd expectation of mine, but that's the price I pay for my day job seeping into my night life.

(Reposting my comment from your other thread): FWIW, if you don't need hardware, you can turn your phone into such a "button". Apps allow you to add a widget to your home screen and can be configured to make arbitrary HTTP requests. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.rmy.android.http_shortcuts https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.rmy.android...
