Would love to know what sorts of ways you've hacked Amazon Dash.

I don't know what JGC did, but you can detect the button's DHCP request and consider it pressed. I didn't want to do something that hacky, so I made my own Dash:

Come to think of it, I should have added an SMD switch to it, maybe I'll make a new one with a 3d-printable case. That's an idea...

That's right. Details are here: https://github.com/jgrahamc/dash
Thank you, this is really interesting. How much did the materials cost?
