Remember the giant failure of those Amazon buttons? You'd like put it on your fridge or something and when you pushed it it would instantly place an order for a specific item? Yeah, people don't want shit spending their money without being consulted...
Those Amazon Dash buttons were high-key a great deal, because you could easily hack them to be a generic customizable IoT/home network button, and Amazon was practically giving them out for free.

Well, Amazon was probably not excited for people to do that 😅
Probably just mad they didn’t think of that first.
Neat! They're on eBay for between $1-$2 plus modest shipping. I'd try a 10-pack if I had a use case or three.
