As long as I have to use openHAB with user root: no 
The dash button shows up as “unknown device”
I’ve created a rule:
rule "Dash button pressed"
when
Channel "amazondashbutton:dashbutton:AC-63-BE-62-BE-F5:press" triggered
then
logInfo("FILE","The dash button has been pressed")
end
but no loginfo is showing up when I press the button …
Where? In the inbox?
Hmm, are you sure that this is the correct id? I guess AC-63-BE-62-BE-F5 has to be lowercase.
First in the inbox, after adding as thing under things.
Now with another openhab restart under root it seems okay:
Tried that, works now:
2016-11-02 21:05:01.413 [INFO ] [.eclipse.smarthome.model.script.FILE] - The dash button has been pressed
Now we need to solve the “run under root” problem …
Edit: btw, what is the correct syntax to define the thing with text files? I don’t like the mapdb database …
I uploaded another test application: https://ufile.io/d3612
Try this as a non root user and paste the output.
Because of the feedback in this thread I decided to implement the capturing in a more fault-tolerant way.

Nevermind. Are you sure that you run the application with the java binary you granted the cap capabilities to?
Can you try this please:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/java -jar d3612-pcap4j-sample-0.0.1-snapshot-jar-with-dependencies.jar
I have no idea because it is the first time I heard about setcap …
What I did yesterday:
sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/java

Ok, obviously the Java binary in your path is not /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/java.
So you granted the capabilities to the wrong Java binary.
No idea about that. Everything worked right out of the box before, so I never had to even think about this.
What should I do now?
Which one is it then?
Edit: the VERY first step I did was:
sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle-arm32-vfp-hflt/bin/java
2nd Edit:
pi@raspberrypi3:~ $ java -version
java version "1.8.0_111"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_111-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.111-b14, mixed mode)
This is the command for my RPi3:
setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-8-oracle-arm32-vfp-hflt/jre/bin/java
Easier way to resolve the path of your java:
sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip `realpath /usr/bin/java`
I realise that the suggested command in the docs may have a conflict with the Network binding, since setcap may overwrite previous settings (i.e. cap_net_bind service=+ep) @oliver would you agree that for these people the command should be:
sudo setcap 'cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=+eip cap_net_bind_service=+ep' `realpath /usr/bin/java`
I have to admit that I just don’t know if this is the correct command, but I gues you are right. I updated the README: https://github.com/openhab/openhab2-addons/pull/1388
Thx, that worked for me, dash button is up and running.
