homebridge-dash
A Homebridge plugin for the Amazon Dash Button.
This plugin integrates with Homebridge to create a switch that can automate other accessories and platforms.

npm
Installation is via npm.

Config + Running
Check the config-sample.json
for an example on how to configure the plugin. You can configure as many buttons as you wish.
Homebridge must be run with elevated privileges to work correctly i.e. sudo or root.
Troubleshooting
If this freezes the wlan on your Raspberry Pi you may need to use a different Wi-Fi dongle. I've had success with this one.
