Same for me… and I even bought some Gillette stuff with the Button and then used it with OH. So no problem, just reseted the button and blocked it inside my firewall…
Hello all, now I’m an Amazon Prime Member (30 days free membership) and I ordered Dash Buttons. They arrived and I could order some things. I was able to reset them and after that to bind them into OH2. Thanks to all.
But now I have many errors and warnings! Any help would be great!
If the dash buttons are set up already (e.g. if you wanted to order something to get the 4,99€ back) it is not mandatory to reset them. It’s most important to block their internet access. Otherwise they will always send notifications.
Setup on an raspberry pi is pretty simple and works flawlessly following this documentation.
@patrickse It doesn’t matter, because it was not relevant to the original question. After original question was answered, I got additional problems while using the amazondashbutton binding. I thought maybe some people here could easily help, because of their experience with Dash Buttons. Thanks.
I got some Dash buttons from eBay, since they are not available in my country (Hungary). Does anyone know if I have to be a Prime member in order to set up the buttons via the Amazon app?
I always get an error when I try. It looks like the phone starts talking to the button, the app asks me for the WiFi network SSID and the key, then it says “Registering”, and after 5 seconds or so, the app says “Registration error”, and the button remains unconfigured.
Does anyone have an idea where I should start looking? Could it be because I’m not a Prime member, or because of the country not being supported, or something completely different?
I have just figured out what the issue was. The IP configuration on my home automation network has a subnet mask of /23. The Dash button can only handle subnets of a C class or smaller. This sounds like a horrible design.
When I changed the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 from 255.255.254.0, I was able to complete the setup.
