Echo Buttons

Recommended Posts

I've seen some people interested in turning Amazon Dash buttons into "smart buttons" for actions on the forum. I know many of you are probably aware, but Amazon just made their very gimmicky Echo buttons for games much more useful. You can now link any smart device, scene or routine to the button press. This means you can trigger C4 scenes/actions with it now. It seems they can now do what some wanted the Dash buttons to do without any tedious workarounds. 

I can certainly see having a super-cheap battery powered button having some interesting use-case scenarios and look forward to giving them a try.

My Dash buttons connect via WiFi, not Bluetooth. If I go hit the dash button now, it'll connect to my wireless network and disconnect after a minute or so. I do recall the pairing process involving Bluetooth, but that's it.

 

EDIT: Apparently I can't read today - I see @rea was really asking about the Echo buttons which are definitely using Bluetooth, not WiFi. Carry on!
