Dash buttons not longer usable?
Hey together,
Since a few days i can’t use my dash buttons anymore, the light stay blue and nothing else happens 
in an old version of a amazon app i tried to setup it again like normal… Nope…
Is There another way to setup an dashbutton in pimatic? or can i throw them into can
Greets Dodo
Have anyone a solution?
Hi, did you change anything in Pimatic? (upgrade node, reinstall, change wifi network or…).
You probably know that the dash-button is no longer supported (since 1st sept 2019) and this quote from Amazon is also not very hopeful
Your button will automatically deregister and reset on December 31, 2019, so no action is required.
Reinitializing a dash-button seems very difficult, see this dash-button thread
Oh no no i changed nothing, i have 6 dash’s in my home, and all show now a blue light.
I will store them in a Box an look for another solution like 433mhz transmitter…
Can i use a xiaomi aqara button without gateway or else?
Greets Dodo
The Xiaomi button can not be used directly, only with interfaces like an Aqara gateway, a Raspbee module or a Conbee usb stick.
I would choose the Conbee II usb stick and the Raspbee plugin. You can handle all kinds of switches, button, light, etc from Xiaomi, Ikea and Philips
Sounds good, is it plug’n’play? Plug conbee into raspberry and install raspbee plugin?
Not that easy. You need also to install the Deconz software.
I used a separate rpi and installed the Deconz image. After that I use that rpi also for my local mqtt server.
But you can install Deconz on an existing rpi. Here is the link
When the software is running the rest is ‘just’ plug-and-play installation.
The discovery of your Ikea, Xiaomi,… devices are done in Deconz.
After that you integrate in Pimatic via the Device discovery.
There more info on this on the raspbee-plugin page
Thank you!
