Use Python to enable actions with an Amazon Dash button.
DashButton.py serves as the main file for interacting with the Dash Button. You need to replace the below text with the MAC address of your Dash Button.
DEVICE_MAC_ADDRESS = 'PUT MAC ADDRESS OF DASH BUTTON HERE'
In each of the module files (Applescript, AppNotification, etc.), the event name and secret key must be configured through IFTTT if you intend to use the Dash Button with that service.
requests.post("https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/button_pressed/with/key/PLACEHOLDER")
button_pressed refers to the event name in IFTTT and PLACEHOLDER is the secret key created with webooks in IFTTT.
With the three default modules to DashButton.py, the script will send a notification to your phone, log the start and end times for an activity, and open a new tab in Safari on each button press. This can be configured to your preference easily.
Contact me if you have any questions, I will be adding functionality as I go.
