Description

I bought bunch of Amazon Dash buttons half a year ago. I'm frequently using many of them for many months without any issues. Now I tried to start using new buttons, and did everything same way, but Discovery don't find buttons and all 3 buttons show up with same MAC address. I guess Amazon has changed configuration. Old buttons still work like a charm.

What I Did

After pressing dash button two new Macs appear :
sudo amazon-dash discovery
2c:4d:54:6c:50:4f (Amazon Device)
00:04:20:fa:f7:f8
I added 2c:4d:54 to discovery.py so that's why it says Amazon device. Same MACs for all three different buttons.

I've been searching for more similar cases and I have not found anything.

This could be a great Amazon method to prevent this project from working, but it could cause problems on most routers if two buttons are pressed at the same time.
