>An amazon button next to the grinder. Amazon just announced, a little over a week ago, that they are killing the Dash buttons. As part of the announcement, they said they believe that the whole concept has outlived it's usefulness and has been replaced by voice ordering with virtual assistants ("Alexa, order coffee"). I think the real problem was that the idea of having a separate button for every product was untenable. The same issue faces OP's concept - are we really going to put a separate network-connected scale under every single consumable good in the house?
