godash

A small Amazon Dash Golang program to send web requests on button press.

The program itself works well, but the Dockerfile and build for Raspberry Pi is a work in progress.

Compiling

You should be able to compile it like this:

git clone https://github.com/chrisgilbert/godash/
cd godash/godash
go get github.com/google/gopacket
go build

You can then do mv conf-example.json conf.json and edit that file to add the appropriate details.

Adding a username parameter to your button will invoke curl w/ digest auth. This works well for digest-authenticated API end points. Like Indigo.

Finding your dash button hardware address

I haven't provided a program to do this, but this will help (an example on Mac, it's probably eth0 on Linux):

tcpdump -i en0 -e | grep who-has

This will show some arp traffic for anything requesting an IP mac translation from the switch/router.
You should be able to figure out what address is attached to the button fairly easily. (Mine starts with ac:)

I've only tested on Go 1.7.1 and Go 1.8.
