Dash Button not discovered / caught

[ostpol]

• amazon-dash version: 1.0.3
• Python version: 3.4
• Operating System: Linux raspberrypi 4.9.41+ #1023 Tue Aug 8 15:47:12 BST 2017 armv6l GNU/Linux

Description

When I run amazon-dash discovery, several devices (Echo, FireTV...), except the button, are shown. I grabbed the MAC from my routers interface and put it into /etc/amazon-dash.yaml. Sadly the Dash Button still isn't caught when amazon-dash is running, so nothing happens when the button is pressed.

What I Did

settings:
  # On seconds. Minimum time that must pass between pulsations.
  delay: 10
devices:
   ## Example of how to execute a url
 ac:63:be:b5:20:e6:
    name: ShitButton
    url: 'http://192.168.1.50/cm?user=admin&password=pass&cmnd=Power%20Toggle'  # Url to execute
    method: get  # HTTP method. By default GET

Are there new Dash Button models which use other communication methods or something?

Thanks, T

There are no known models that are not supported. Paste the model identifier here. The identification number is located behind the button.

That was quick.

This model number is the second generation of Amazon Dash, which is supported. Do you have more than one router or Wi-Fi extenders? To use amazon-dash the server and the button must be in the same network.

[ostpol]

All devices are in the same subnet. Nothing that could break a broadcast domain involved.

[Nekmo]

It is necessary that the device can be detected using the discovery command. It seems a network problem, maybe you should make sure that your Amazon-dash connects to the network.

Amazon-dash detects the event when a device connects to the network. I'm sorry I do not know what it can be.

[ostpol]

So broadcast is monitored? Just need to know where to start capturing.

Edit: Switched from the Pi to a standard Debian station. Discovery works. Now I know where to look for the problem.

Thank you for your help!

Yes, that's what Amazon-dash does.
