Amazon is pushing Dash buttons to the limit
Online retailer and tech company Amazon has released yet another innovative product and no it’s not a variant of the kindle or a redesign of the Echo; the Amazon dash button is being redesigned with new exciting features. For people unfamiliar with the Amazon Dash button it is a physical, programmable button that when pressed orders a product from the Amazon store via Wi-Fi. The button is paired with one product and managed through the amazon app for android and iOS via Wi-Fi so a consumer can simply restock a product with just a press of a button.
The new Amazon Web Services Internet of Things (AWSIoT) button is programmable to work with basically any Amazon web service and even third party services. This means that a user can program the button to do so many things with just the press of a button; think of it as the physical IFTTT button. The new Dash button is currently available to developers only but once it is released it would sell for about $15 higher than its older $5 counterpart. With how much developers have been able to transform and hack the old Dash buttons for more features, there is no telling how useful this new button could actually be.
