First time Dash Setup

As described here

"Follow Amazon's instructions to configure your button to send messages when you push them but not actually order anything. When you get a Dash button, Amazon gives you a list of setup instructions to get going. Just follow this list of instructions, but don’t complete the final step. Do not select a product, just exit the app."

Run This Image

docker run -it --net host --name node-dash-button hisashin/node-dash-button

Get MAC address of your Dash

# /node_modules/node-dash-button/bin/findbutton
Watching for arp & udp requests on your local network, please try to press your dash now
Dash buttons should appear as manufactured by 'Amazon Technologies Inc.' 

Then press Dash. Messages will be added like this.

Possible dash hardware address detected: 11:22:33:44:55:66 Manufacturer: unknown Protocol: udp
Possible dash hardware address detected: 11:22:33:44:55:66 Manufacturer: unknown Protocol: arp

In this case, 11:22:33:44:55:66 is MAC address of your Dash.

Customize script

vi /dash.js

dash_button('aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff', null, null, 'all').on('detected', function() {
//  https_get('www.google.com', '/foo/bar');	// for example to GET https://www.google.com/foo/bar
//  http_get('www.google.com', '/foo/bar');	// for example to GET http://www.google.com/foo/bar
});

Edit around this section as you want with the MAC address you got.

dash_button('11:22:33:44:55:66', null, null, 'all').on('detected', function() {
  https_get('maker.ifttt.com', '/trigger/{your IFTTT event}/with/key/{your IFTTT secret key}');
});
