This is a node.js application that "hacks" your Amazon Dash Button to order you a Domino's pizza! I was inspired by this article by Edward Bensen. I am using a few npm modules to listen for the button press and place the order: RIAEvangelist's dominos and also hortinstein's Node-Dash-Button.
One idea would be to have this always running via a local server such as a Raspberry Pi and have on demand pizza ordering whenever you just need a pizza!
I wrote a blog post about my experience here on Medium!

If you run into any issues with Socket Watcher please try this: Looks like socketwatcher was using the legacy "node" command instead of nodejs. It is solved on ubuntu by installing nodejs-legacy that clears up those conflicts.
sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy
This article shows you what you can do with a Raspberry Pi to set this up as a node server running all the time on your network and it literally would be the press of a button whenever you wanted!
Or you can view this Gist to view how to create an AWS Lambda function if you own an Amazon AWS IoT Button. They basically handle the "always on" use case for us!
