Introducing AWS IoT Button
AWS IoT Button is one of the AWS services that interacts with the AWS backend. AWS IoT Button is built based on the Amazon Dash Button hardware. This device provides connectivity capability through Wi-Fi to communicate with the AWS server.
The first AWS IoT Button hardware appeared in October of 2015. The current AWS IoT Button hardware is the second generation. You can buy this hardware on Amazon's website at https://www.amazon.com/All-New-AWS-IoT-Button-Generation/dp/B01KW6YCIM. You can also check it on your local Amazon website.
