Dash Button not discovered / caught

See original GitHub issue

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, T

It is necessary that the device can be detected using the discovery command. It seems a network problem, maybe you should make sure that your Amazon-dash connects to the network.

Amazon-dash detects the event when a device connects to the network. I’m sorry I do not know what it can be.

There are no known models that are not supported. Paste the model identifier here. The identification number is located behind the button.
