- IgorPartola 9y agoShameless plug: https://github.com/ipartola/amadash https://github.com/ipartola/amadash This is a general purpose daemon I wrote that monitors an arbitrary number of Dash buttons and does whatever you want when they are pressed.

- whitef0x 9y agoYou could build your own like this http://www.simpleiothings.com/build-a-10-wifi-smart-button/ http://www.simpleiothings.com/build-a-10-wifi-smart-button/
- semi-extrinsic 9y agoI bought a Flic button which works pretty well, using it at the office for hour tracking; it's more pricy though. Normally they are tied to a phone, so if you want it to work for multiple users, you need their hub as well.

- matt_the_bass 9y agoI like particle photons. That can used in these: https://www.particle.io/products/hardware/internet-button https://www.particle.io/products/hardware/internet-button No hacking required.
- aliasxneo 9y agoDoes this work with all of the dash buttons including the AWS IoT buttons?
- IgorPartola 9y agoI haven’t tested it with the IoT ones. The daemon works by listening to the button connecting to the network. It’s a hack. I think the IoT button has a better way to do this, but I haven’t tested that.
