Instructions as of 7/11/2016
Requirements:
- Amazon Dash Button connected to Wifi (follow instructions here)
- Class C subnet
(If you don't know what this is, don't worry about it) - Preferably a reserved DHCP IP for the button
(If you don't know what this is, you may need to rerun the Discovery program from time to time)
Instructions:
- Double click "AmazonButton_Discovery_160711_1114.exe" to start scanning for buttons
- Click "OK" at the prompt
- Start pushing the button you wish to pair repeatedly. Keep the LED "White!"
- If no Amazon Devices are found, try again, but start pushing the button as soon as you double click on the EXE
- If more than one Amazon Devices are found, You'll have to go and figure out what IP corresponds with your button on your own. I have not automated this process yet. Disconnect and power off your other Amazon devices if you wish to use this program easily (i.e. Echo, Dash, Fire TV, Fire Tablet, etc)
- Pick a program you wish to run when the Button is pushed
- Enter a comment for the daemon, this will identify the particular daemon corresponding with the particular button. Comment ex. "Elements button toggling Porch Lights"
- Finish! Repeat as necessary for any other buttons.
Wishlist: (To be implemented)
- Batch file creation to allow followup button usage (if Reserved IPs) without having to run through the Discovery program
- Automatic "Amazon Button vs other Amazon device" distinguishing
- Button "Manager" GUI
- Hover over tray icon to determine button
