## Setup Dash Button
Setting up your Dash Button is as simple as following the instructions provided by [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Dash-Buttons/b?node=10667898011) **EXCEPT FOR THE LAST STEP**.
Follow the instructions to set up the Dash Button in their mobile app.
When you get to the step where it asks you to pick which product you want to map it to, just quit the setup process.
Amazon itself doesn't support Dash Buttons anymore.
Instructions how to use them without having to rely on Amazon's servers can be found at https://blog.christophermullins.com/2019/12/20/rescue-your-amazon-dash-buttons/ - at least for some firmware versions.
Take care to block internet access for the button or it will be bricked.
