That sucks. Alexa may be a replacement for those who don’t mind surveillance in their homes, but the dash button was perfect for making sure the office kitchen never runs out of paper towels.
More pointless landfill waste that I bet a lot of people who care about such things still bought. I can understand Amazon wanting to get as much IP grab as possible but things like this need to stay as concepts not short life gimmicks that add to the "problems of the Earth" (or so CNN etc want us to believe)
Yes absolutely, the official AWS IoT button is 22GBP, I bought my dash buttons 99p each on Amazon and use them as regular IoT buttons (by monitoring network and catching when they do a curl request).
