I wanted another button so just bought an "AWS IOT Enterprise Button" that are basically the dash button but without buying anything. as amazon have now stopped selling dash buttons.

How can I set it up to work with Hassio?

I worked it out. It is a bit long winded but works. I thought I would put it in writing if someone else is trying to do the same thing.

Long press the button to put in configure mode. Join the wifi network "Button ConfigureMe" the password is the last 8 digits of the DSN number which is on a barcode on the box the button comes in or it printed on the back of the button in tiny writing under the blue sticky label.

When connected to the Wifi goto 192.168.0.1 to see if it is working. You should get a page with "Please configure the button through AWS Configuration App."

open command prompt and .... ping 192.168.0.1 then arg-a will give a list of mac addresses against ip adresses. Put the mac address of 192.168.0.1 in the Config section of the dashio addon.

Now download the "AWS IoT 1-Click" app on you phone. Sign up for a free teir AWS account. Click on "Claim with Devices ID" under Claim your devices

This then lets you Add your Wifi details and claim the device. Now when you click the button it will appear on your network and Dashio works.
