Amazon dash button plugin available

---

@mwittig My plugin already does this, too. I’m filtering just for addresses registered for Amazon Technologies Inc. These addresses can be found here: https://regauth.standards.ieee.org/standards-ra-web/pub/view.html#registries

Yes, I know, but I was referring to letting libpcap do the (pre-)filtering for you so that the “pcap session” will only retrun ARP requests from Amazon devices. ,As libpacap filtering is performed in kernel mode the advantage would be, that lesser context switches are required as lesser ARP packages will be passed to the application (pimatic) running in the user space.

@michbeck100 Wow, good to have someone who’s experienced with libpcap . I’ll have a look into this.
EDIT: reminder to myself created: https://github.com/michbeck100/pimatic-dash-button/issues/4

@mwittig Do you have any clue how the filter string should look like?
I guess it should be something like

arp ether[6:2] == 0x0011 and ether[8:1] == 0x22

for addresses starting with 00:11:22. I got this filter value from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13086766/how-to-filter-mac-addresses-using-tcpdump

Great. I have posted an example to the issue ticket you’ve created.

Just released version 0.1.0 of pimatic-dash-button. This version fixes all the issues reported since now (see README.md for a change log).
Additionally i’ve changed the dash button device to act like a ButtonsDevice with one fixed button, that can be pressed. This way you can also “press” the dash button from the UI.

Looks like they’re on sale today!!
Look here!

@Stokstaart that’s just in the US right? I think they don’t deliver to Europe

@michbeck100 unfortunately looks like it, too bad i live in Europe (altough i hear living in America isn’t what is was… )

I try to install the dash button and get following error:

Error installing plugin pimatic-amazing-dash-button: Error running “./node_modules/pimatic/ppm.js install pimatic-amazing-dash-button@0.9.13 --unsafe-perm”

What can i do?

Make sure you have libpcap-dev installed . Please see https://github.com/mwittig/pimatic-amazing-dash-button#installation

🙄 OK… Sometimes start thinking… I think that was to much yesterday…
