Hmm personally think these things are one step too far, like who really needs a dedicated button to order a specific product like this?
Still considering you effectively get £2.50 to own one, I might be tempted. How does the £5 credit work? Does it go onto your main Amazon account like a normal promotional credit or is it tied to the button only?
If it's the latter I will probably give it a miss as I'd want to be able to use the credit how I want and not be tied to one product...

I bought a couple a while back when they were on offer (£1 button with £5 credit, I think). Was disappointed. Tough to set up using my tablet, but that was probably my old fashioned tech. The credit only worked on the button. I had Kleenex & Dettol ones, but found the buttons were not only brand specific, but product specific too. Might have changed now, but the buttons wouldn't work across the whole range, and the products that could be purchased using the buttons weren't usually the best value for money. I had to wait nearly a year before using my Kleenex button, as I refused to waste the free credit buying over priced goods. Wouldn't buy them again. Think there was a loophole to getting the credit expanded, but I never bothered with this.

I had the same experience with the SimpleHuman button. Despite owning two different bins I found their button completely useless. Didnt offer bags for the first and I could only order bags for the second if i was prepared to order a year's supply in one go, defeating the whole idea behind Dash buttons. Naturally I can make both orders on Amazon the normal way, just not with the Dash button. Absolute frustrating waste of time.

Are you disappointed that the prices aren't to good or that it took you a year to use your Kleenex supply? At least your knobs would have been Dettol fresh.

Frustrated that Amazon only seemed to allow dash button purchases on their least cost effective products. Took a year for a good value Kleenex product to become available.
And, look after your own knobs. Don't judge the cleanliness of mine!!

Are these still easily hackable as wifi buttons?

Believe so. I bought one a while ago and although it was a version 2 button, it was still possible to do so. Have it hooked up to IFTTT at the moment but haven't decided what to use it for.

Replace ** with IFTTT, Raspberry Pi, Smartfone, Various Internet enabled heating controllers etc and I've got a few gadgets I haven't worked out what to use them for...
IFTTT is a free web-based service that people use to create chains of simple conditional statements, called applets. An applet is triggered by changes that occur within other web services such as Gmail, Facebook, Instagram, or Pinterest.

in layman's terms:
IFTTT = IF This Then That so, IF I press the dash button, Then do That - That can be set to various internet based commands - see website

Like your thinking... Otherwise it's a waste of time

What is IFTTT?, thanx. :-)
