Over the last 3 years I've bought nearly 2300 of these for airnoise.io. An AWS engineer reached out to me two days ago to chat, and I suspected he was going to say that Amazon was going to discontinue them as they did the Dash button a few months ago. Sure enough, they stopped selling them two days ago. He reminded me there are alternatives, like the AT&T button, but they're larger and more expensive and not rechargeable nor do they have a replaceable battery (though they are LTE-M instead of WiFi). More importantly, he said they have a manufacturer who's producing a similar but improved device (rechargeable or replaceable) that should be the same price point. These should be available in late March. Why Amazon created a 2+ month gap here is beyond me, but so be it. On the server side, they are going to continue to support the back-end IoT services and have no plans to deprecate those.
