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.
holeymoley18 to Oneday77

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!!

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.

Because crabby crab wasn't any help:

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.
kg808 to gslgregory
5 Sep 17 #49
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

I bought the Tassimo button, but the range of products you can actually attach to the button is quite small (for example, you can't add L'Or Latte Macchiato, which is madness).

Bought 4 or 5 on UK launch (discounted) never once used as we like a 'deal' on this site and these buttons go against the deal mentality.
Avoid.

great to use as long as you keep an eye on the price changes, ordered the finish one and pushed my Andrex one as classic toilet roll is £15 for 45 at the moment

If you're going onto Amazon anyway, isn't it just as easy to press the "buy with one click" button?

These things are rubbish. Most of the items are cheaper on subscribe and save, which doesn't work with Dash.

I'm a tech guy, and love things like this, but not for the sake of wasting money.
greenant to buddn07

Exactly. And the Dash buttons don't even have a magnet on them, which would be handy for placement in a kitchen

Got a few Hue bulbs in the kids bedrooms at the moment just working as normal bulbs so will hopefully configure this as an on/off switch - cheaper than a hue switch.

It's so you can make a quick for an item, going by the comments on here it's not that cheap to it this way and it can't be used on different varieties of a product.

These have flopped hard, especially since the Echo came out. Also who would want to pay their over inflated prices for household items when nearly every supermarket is cheaper for those sorts of things.

bought a bunch of these last time as wanted to use them for home automation, but found it a ballache to use. the buttons themself if you were to use in a normal circumstance are stupid imo. ended up buying like a years supply of kleenex tissues (which turned out to be xmas themed boxes, which is lovely given that there were like 12 of them).
One of the other buttons I had (i cant remember which now) didn't even have any products associated with it, so literally couldn't use it.
most of the other stuff to choose from are bulk items. which makes it even less useful as chances are it would be cheaper buying BOGOF in the supermarkets when you need them.
all in all, as you can probably tell, not impressed. but i didn't expect to be to be fair.

Used these once to use promotional credit and not since as more expensive than Wilko, B&M, Poundshop etc

Decent for the free credit, but have to confess I've never used either of mine since ordering and using up the credit. I have one stuck above my bin for bin bags and it always gets commented on as being pretty cool.

Reality is less cool though.

Here's once use (of many) with IFTTT; most of your favourite shopping sites have RSS feeds; you can tell IFTTT to tell you when any of these feeds contain keywords e.g. 55inch TV; until HUKD added "Keyword Alerts" you had to use a custom RSS feed via IFTTT to tell you when new "55inch TV" deals were created.

So, i ordered 2 of these to use as IOT buttons and heres my findings ymmv, its early days yet, i may find a better way to do things.

I setup on raspbian with python3, i soon descended into a mess of environments and scapy-for-python3 ports and all sorts of nonsense, for some reason, i don't have wireshark installed so the code on the first answer here was able to give me the mac address: stackoverflow.com/que…ets


Then i took that code and used to to only react when it got the mac address of the dash button.


Its... ok, there is a fair old lag, and i realised that my phone with the amazon app (you need to install this to set up the wifi connection) is full of notifications as i never completed the setup (for obvious reasons, i don't even know what 'Finish' is, but i doubt i need that much of it) - So i will have to go to my router to stop the button from 'calling home'.


So, for 2.50, it would work well as a task-logger or something similar, but for my purpose of play/pausing down rune-audio - i think the lag would make it unusable.



Interested to hear what other people are using them for
