I was wondering if anyone else has noticed a bug in which the first press of the button of each day does not work. Instead I receive an email regarding choosing a product from Amazon Replenishment. After that it works fine, then I’ll see the issue again the next day..

Thoughts?

Does discovery work with the first execution of the day?

[mcgurdan]

I’ll check tomorrow

Discovery does work. It almost seems like the wireless interface goes to sleep after a certain amount of time and then wakes up after the initial ARP request (but that one is not processed)

Some Wifi cards can enter energy saving mode. Maybe the drivers allow to disable this option. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/269661/how-to-turn-off-wireless-power-management-permanently

Another option is to use ethernet cable. It will always be more stable.

Been noticing this again. I’ll attempt the driver approach.

Surprised no one else gets this issue. I have this now running off eth0 and still get the same issue. First press of the day results in an email from Amazon (please complete setup for dash button). Subsequent presses work fine.

Thanks for your answer :)
