Dash Button Preparation

Follow Amazon's instructions to configure your button to send messages when you push them but not actually order anything. When you get a Dash button, Amazon gives you a list of setup instructions to get going. Just follow this list of instructions, but don’t complete the final step of selecting a product to order. Do not select a product, just exit the app.

Configuration

1. Discover the Dash Buttons using node node_modules/node-dash-button/bin/findbutton.
2. Rename config-sample.json to config.json. Update its values to match your configuration, including the buttons discovered in the last step.
3. Start the listener with npm start.
