Hack your Amazon Dash to run what you want.

DEVELOPMENT BRANCH: The current branch is a development version. Go to the stable release by clicking on the master branch.

Amazon-dash is still alive

Amazon has abandoned the Amazon-dash buttons, but this project wants to keep them alive. However, we are looking for alternatives. If you have suggestions you are welcome to open an incident. All suggestions are welcome. You can open an issue with your suggestions.

Python Amazon Dash

Hack your Amazon Dash to run what you want. Without welders. For the entire family.

This program written in Python runs in daemon mode waiting for someone in the same network to press a configured Amazon Dash button. It is not necessary to know programming to use this program. Amazon-Dash executes commands by command line, calls a url and more. This program works well on a Raspberry PI or on computers with few resources.

1. Install Amazon Dash:

$ sudo pip3 install amazon-dash  # and after:
$ sudo python3 -m amazon_dash.install

Also available on AUR and FreeNAS. You can also use pip2 and python2 if your system only has Python2, but Python 3 is the recommended version. See other installation methods in the documentation.

Note: It may also be necessary to install tcpdump on your system (in Debian apt install tcpdump).

2. Hack and configure Wi-Fi:

You must hack your button with the hack-device command if you have never used it. Then you must configure the Wifi connection. You can skip this step if you have already configured the Wi-Fi connection to the router.

3. Avoid a connection to Amazon servers

Since 2020 your buttons can be bricked in an update from Amazon servers. To continue using your buttons you must configure your router to block Internet connections from the buttons. More info in the Amazon-dash documentation.

4. Use discovery mode to know the mac of your Dash (Run the program, and then press any button). You can skip this step if you already know the mac address:

$ sudo amazon-dash discovery

5. Edit config file (/etc/amazon-dash.yml):

# amazon-dash.yml
# ---------------
settings:
  delay: 10
devices:
  0C:47:C9:98:4A:12: # Command example

UPGRADE from previous versions

The following execution methods are supported with your Amazon Dash button with this program:

System command .. image:: https://goo.gl/Cq4bYC OpenHAB	Call url .. image:: https://goo.gl/L7ng8k IFTTT	Homeassistant

Amazon-dash also allows you to send a confirmation after pressing a button. You will also receive a message in case of failure. Telegram and Pushbullet are supported.

For more information see the documentation of the configuration file.

6. Run the daemon:

If you use a Systemd system (Debian 8+, Fedora 15+, Ubuntu 15.04+, Arch Linux 2012+, OpenSUSE 12.1+, and more) execute:

$ sudo systemctl start amazon-dash

To run Amazon-dash at startup:

$ sudo systemctl enable amazon-dash

To run Amazon-dash manually look at the documentation.

Docker

Using Amazon Dash within docker is easy! First, pull the Docker image:

$ docker pull nekmo/amazon-dash:latest

Then, create a container and run Amazon Dash itself:

$ docker run -it --network=host \
             -v </full/path/path/to/amazon-dash.yml>:/config/amazon-dash.yml \
             nekmo/amazon-dash:latest \
             amazon-dash run --ignore-perms --root-allowed \
                             --config /config/amazon-dash.yml

Not working on Raspberry pi?

Sorry if this isn't the place for this but I can't find a forum. When trying to run on a fresh install of current Raspbian, which has Python 2.7 and 3.5.3 installed, I get to the point where I run the discovery and get:

pi@pi0w:~ $ sudo amazon-dash discovery
sudo: unable to resolve host pi0w
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/amazon-dash", line 6, in
from amazon_dash.management import execute_from_command_line
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/amazon_dash/management.py", line 9, in
from amazon_dash.exceptions import AmazonDashException
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/amazon_dash/exceptions.py", line 12, in
class ConfigFileNotFoundError(AmazonDashException, FileNotFoundError):
NameError: name 'FileNotFoundError' is not defined

To try to force it to use Python3, I changed the first line of /usr/local/bin/amazon-dash to point to python3 instead of just python, as a test, and I get slightly different error:

pi@pi0w:~ $ sudo amazon-dash discovery
sudo: unable to resolve host pi0w
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/amazon-dash", line 6, in
from amazon_dash.management import execute_from_command_line
ImportError: No module named 'amazon_dash'

I know I must be missing something really stupid, but dont know where to go from here. I can't be the only one trying to do this on RaspPi ZeroW, so hoping you may know.

Thanks for sharing your work.. I look forward to using this!!

Logging

Any chance of logging either to standard output or a file? Sorry if I've missed it but there doesn't seem to be any reference to logs.

If I check sudo systemctl status dash.service it just says that it started OK, but doesn't report anything.

I'd like to see reports on button presses and commands sent.

I'm struggling to figure out why my light isn't toggling when I press a dash button, home assistant isn't showing any MQTT messages, so I believe amazon-dash must not be doing anything. Whether it's picking up the button press or not is unknown unfortunately.

Not able to run discovery

• amazon-dash version: 1.0.2
• Python version: 2.7.13
• Operating System :Raspbian on Raspberry pi3 b+

Hi, I'm having problems and would really appreciate any help.
I'm trying to teach an old dog new tricks ; that old dog is me, a retired engineer(mechanical, unfortunately). I have some home automation set up on android using Tasker and RM Plugin etc and thought the next step would be to learn some coding so have recently bought and have set up a raspberry pi headlessly and accessing it by SSH and VNC. I thought I would ease into it by reproducing other peoples work so have been trying to re-purpose some dash buttons. After days of Googling , changing node.js versions, reinstalling npm, re-flashing etc, etc I still cannot get Mr Maddox's Dasher to work.
I then came accross your excellent work but I have failed again. I have started from a fresh install many times and run the apt-get update and upgrade commands. The pasted screen shots below show where I am currently at. It might be relevant to mention that on one occasion I tried following your instructions to delete previous attempts by command lines and the first instruction worked (pip uninstall from memory) but each of the other 3 rm commands returned that files could not be found (sorry I dont have actual screen shots of this).
I hope you can point me in the right direction please.

Dash Button not discovered / caught

• amazon-dash version: 1.0.3
• Python version: 3.4
• Operating System: Linux raspberrypi 4.9.41+ #1023 Tue Aug 8 15:47:12 BST 2017 armv6l GNU/Linux

Description

When I run amazon-dash discovery, several devices (Echo, FireTV...), except the button, are shown. I grabbed the MAC from my routers interface and put it into /etc/amazon-dash.yaml. Sadly the Dash Button still isn't caught when amazon-dash is running, so nothing happens when the button is pressed.

What I Did

settings:
  # On seconds. Minimum time that must pass between pulsations.
  delay: 10
devices:
   ## Example of how to execute a url
 ac:63:be:b5:20:e6:
    name: ShitButton
    url: 'http://192.168.1.50/cm?user=admin&password=pass&cmnd=Power%20Toggle'  # Url to execute
    method: get  # HTTP method. By default GET

Are there new Dash Button models which use other communication methods or something?

Thanks,

How to call the API of Homeassistant with curl

I want to make an API call to Homeassistant once the button is pressed.

On the command line I would run:

curl -X POST -H "x-ha-access: MyPassword" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"entity_id": "light.livingroom"}' https://www.mydomain.com:8123/api/services/light/toggle

How to do this from within this nice script?
I created a bash script file with the name test. If I put that in as command in the config file a get errors like:

2017-03-11 02:12:53,609 - amazon-dash - ERROR - 1 return code on "sudo -s --set-home -u myname /usr/bin/env bash -c test" command. Stderr: b''

How to fix this?

Request to url

Implement new way to execute commands: url. Instead of using the cmd parameter, use url:

devices:
  0C:47:C9:98:4A:12:
    url: http://my-domain/api/

Long example:

# amazon-dash.yml
# ---------------
settings:
  delay: 10
devices:
  0C:47:C9:98:4A:12:
    name: Execute API url
    url: http://my-domain/api/
    method: post
    content-type: json
    body: '{"key": "value"}'

Name	Description	Default
url	Url to request
method	HTTP method	GET
content-type	HTTP Content-Type Header*	**
body	Request payload

* Aliases available: form = application/x-www-form-urlencoded. json = application/json. plain = text/plain.
** Only available if Body is defined. If body is defined, default is form.

Button not being detected using Wi-Fi extender

Pressing my dash button doesn't seem to be noticed by amazon-dash. I have enabled debug logging and then run sudo systenctl status dash.service and there's nothing showing up. I get the amazon notification, so I know the button is working.

I've installed on a raspberry pi 3, which is also my network dns server and dhcp server, but not my gateway. Its connected via ethernet.

What further steps could I take to debug this issue?

Start on boot

Hi, what's the best way of making this start on boot?

I'm running it from a Raspberry Pi, and the only way I was able to make it successfully make it run as as root on boot was to add the following line to /etc/rc.local:

su pi -c 'cd /home/pi/Code/automate && sudo amazon-dash run < /dev/null &'

As you can see, this changes to the directory that contains the amazon-dash.yml file, then runs sudo amazon-dash run. I'm not sure what the rest of the line does, or if it's required, but this whole approach seems like overkill, and I can't help but feel it's wrong.

I guess I have two question in that case:

• is there a way of running the script by passing in a path to the config file (rather than having to cd into the directory that contains the file)
• is there a better way of running the script on boot, maybe via init.d or something like that?

Thank you.

Access password-protected URL

I'd like the script to GET a password-protected URL when the button is pressed. Is this supported in the script or do I have to run a wget with the user name and password in the command?

Thanks

Check config file command

':' in url

• amazon-dash version: v1.0.2
• Python version: 2.7.3.
• Operating System: Raspbian

I tried to call a url with a port number (http://x.x.x.x:port/restofurl).

it gives me
[Error] Amazon Dash Exception (InvalidConfig): The configuration file is invalid (/home/pi/amazon-dash.yml). Check the file and read the documentation. 'name', 'url' do not match any of the regexes: '^([0-9A-Fa-f]{2}[:]){5}([0-9A-Fa-f]{2})$'
are there any other ways to use a certain port in a url?

Add systemd service option

running systemctl

amazon-dash version: v1.0.2
Python version: 2.7.3.
Operating System: Raspbian

$ sudo systemctl start amazon-dash

gives me

Failed to start amazon-dash.service: Unknown unit: amazon-dash.service

running it with sudo amazon-dash run works

i would appreciate any ideas where to start looking. i tried going my usual way with python scripts and install a crobtab, but i failed miserably.

SSH support

Execute command under ssh connection. For example:

00:11:22:33:44:55:
  cmd: command
  ssh: nekmo@host

Delay

What unit is the delay in? Seconds? Minutes?

I would guess at seconds, because the dash button seems to be active for just under that. Is there a minimum that we shouldn't go below? Does it take a certain amount of time for the button to drop off the network ready to be picked up again?

issue with config file

amazon_dash.exceptions.SecurityException: There should be no permissions for other users in the file "amazon-dash.yml". Only root must be able to write to file.

I get this even after setting chmod 700 to the file.

Migrate from argparse to click

where do I place the config?

Sorry if I'm missing something, but I don't see where to place the config file?

Arch Linux Package

Troubleshooting my config on hassbian image

• amazon-dash version: 1.0.1
• Python version:3.5.3
• Operating System: Hassbian 4.9.80-v7+ #1098 SMP Fri Mar 9 19:11:42 GMT 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux

Description

I try to get the buttons working for triggering lights, scripts and what ever for Home Assistant.
Made a simple toogle witch is also working on the command line. but not, when i press the buttons.

Funny thing is, yesterday eveining it worked one time, in a loop. Hadnt installed tcpdump (my own disco)
Now with tcpdump the discovery element dont show the button presses (Amazon device) but the 15 other connected devices.

Do i maybe have to set up a port forwarding in my router??
