Notifies MQTT when an Amazon Dash button is pressed

MQTT Dasher

This project was forked from: https://github.com/stjohnjohnson/mqtt-dasher

I am adapting it for my own user with docker and ansible.

#Docker Configuration TODO

- name: Install Mqtt Dasher
  docker_container:
    name: mqttd

Configuration

The dash bridge has one yaml file for configuration:

---
mqtt:
    # Specify your MQTT Broker's hostname or IP address here
    host: mqtt
    port: 1883
    #leave empty if none
    username:
    password:
    # Preface for the topics $PREFACE/$TOPIC
    preface: dash

buttons:
    44:65:0d:dc:51:50:
        name: nerf_supplies
        interface: eth0     # optional
        timeout: 5000   # optional (time in ms)
        protocol: arp   # optional (one of {udp, arp, all})

The underlying code makes use of this this library.
