Amazon introduced a Dash button for AWS IoT

Trust it or not, there is currently an Amazon Dash catch that can coordinate with AWS IoT, the oversaw administrations from cloud framework supplier Amazon Web Services (AWS). 

"The AWS IoT Button is a programmable catch in view of the Amazon Dash Button equipment," Amazon says in a depiction of the new item, which is accessible on Amazon for $19.95. "This straightforward Wi-Fi gadget is anything but difficult to arrange and intended for designers to begin with AWS IoT, AWS Lambda, Amazon Dynamo DB, Amazon SNS, and numerous other Amazon Web Services without composing gadget particular code."

It can be designed to do a wide range of things. It can be an associated doorbell or light switch, or it can be associated with something like Twitter — possibly you can have it tweet out "alert" when you push the button once you've gotten for the day. I don't have the foggiest idea. Anyway, the fact of the matter is you can take the idea of Dash — push a catch and inspire Amazon to help out you, as send a bundle of paper towels — and do precisely what you need with it.

In the case of nothing else, this is a loco promoting ploy for the Internet of Things (IoT) administration that the business sector driving cloud supplier presented a year ago. Microsoft hosts worked with third party to offer the online business idea that can be designed to cooperate with Azure cloud administrations, yet this catch exploits a wacky Amazon equipment innovation.

For the present, the item is in "constrained launch," Amazon says. You will require a Wi-Fi association for it to work. The battery will keep going for around 1,000 catch presses.
