@andrewpyott - no doubt!
I want to integrate this with Yo so I can "yo" my friends with a fist bump. Let's make this happen, @orarbel!
If I'm not mistaken I believe @soffes was working on something similar with thebutton.co
@Zapier @wadefoster @blendahtom it hooks up with ifttt which is trying to become the zapier of connected hardwar devices
UPDATE: Just saw that they're officially now shipping.
I freakin' love this product. It's like the Zombo.com of the Internet of Things.
Want want want! @rrhoover There has to be some really awesome things to do with this at Point Of Sale.
Been using a similar setup with NinjaBlocks for a few months now. It's amazingly satisfying to deploy real-world buttons that do internet things. For a while, we had a live display on the wall in the office that was controlled by buttons near the sales team. It was completely stupid and the tracking totally could've been automated but there is something special about walking up to an actual red button and giving it a press.
@_ryangilbert ha well I had an idea for it. Posted it the same month they formed their company. Wonder if that's just a coincidence. Anyway, I'm a fan of the idea. Excited to try theirs when it comes out.
sweet! i'm wondering if they will have different colours so you can differentiate the actions.
edit: just downloaded press release and saw the different colours! i'm happy. Also putting logos on them for branding would be possible of course!
Let's make a PARTY TIME BUTTON!
If you press the button: play music, change the colors of your Philips Hue and send a message to friends with "grab the beers, it's party time".
Apple used to have a similar device sold in store—I believe it was Harman Kardon. It was aluminum, and probably USB, it may have also had a wheel and button together.
I remember thinking it was beautiful and silly, what the hell good is a single button?
Seeing this, it seems totally practical. Maybe I've learned more about stuff, or maybe bttn is pitched in a better way.
I wasn't really sold on the idea until I read the following example use case:
"Sure: When a 6-year old daughter presses the bttn in the front hall, Daddy's cell receives the SMS message 'I am home! Emily (via button).'"
The obvious Twilio integration there really opened my mind to the potential uses here, even in the office. Very simple but nonetheless interesting idea!
low cost version is to hack Amazon's Dash button http://hackaday.com/2015/08/10/h...
I bought one, i never succeed to make it work, simplicity is great but the condition is that it has to work...
Really cool. Do you thin you could add LoRaWAN support like The Things Network gateway?
