in case anyone is interested I wrote a node.js module a while back to repurpose dash buttons

not as elegant as their official IoT button, but it works (and dash buttons are 25% of the price)

edit: corrected my tired beer math

It's much less polished, but instead of using pcap, I just configure dnsmasq on openwrt to call a shell script that uses wget to call an http endpoint on my computer:

If they were four times cheaper, they'd be -$60. I think you meant they're 25% the price.

That's not how fractions work.
