[amazing-dash-button, solved] One of two buttons not recognized

---

I’ve installed the pimatic-amazing-dash-button plugin and successfully connected it to a first dash button (red) via auto discovery. I wanted to do the same with a second button (blue), but auto discovery wasn’t able to detect it. Then, I added the device manually with the mac address from wireshark, but the dash device stays opened all the time. The buttons are both from the US, bought together in summer this year.

I compared the packages received from the two dash buttons via wireshark and could not find any difference (besides the mac addresses, obviously). Red works, blue doesn’t.

The devices in pimatic look as follows:
RED 1

BLUE 2

Has anyone had similar problems or maybe spotted the mistake I made?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for reporting. Two issues here:

• MAC 00:bb:3a:04:de:59 is not an Amazon MAC address. I am seeing this for the first time. So that’s important news. Amazon has 12 vendor ids registered with IEEE for MACs. The discovery tool
  filters MAC addresses which match one of Amazon vendor ids. For this reason, auto discovery did not work for the blue button.
• The second isue is clearly a bug as the MAC for an manually added device is not added to the arp filter.

@mwittig Thanks for your quick and detailed reply. I’ll try to look into it.

Got a similar issue with a button with mac adress AC:63:BE:6B:0A:BD (its in lower case in pimatic). I figured out whenever I am in the discover devices mode and the dash button is recognized as a device, I can close/open the button for a short time. Just as long a the scan for new devices takes place
