[Amazon Dash Button - DNSMASQ Problem]

[StefanP]

Hello,

i have buy for few days my ASUS AC88U Router and flash them with "asus merlin".
Network Speed is on 2.4 and 5.0 GHZ Band perfectly.

I have found a Amazon Dashbutton its connect to 2.4GHZ and block internet access.
I found few "scripts" to load a action when the Button is pressed but DNSMASQ give me an error and
the few wlan devices cant login into wlan.

May 5 07:17:16 custom_config: Appending content of /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add.
May 5 07:17:16 dnsmasq[3182]: illegal repeated keyword at line 42 of /etc/dnsmasq.conf
May 5 07:17:16 dnsmasq[3182]: FAILED to start up

On:
/jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add file with this line :
dhcp-script=/jffs/a/post-lease.sh

On:
/jffs/a/post-lease.sh
#!/bin/sh
# just for testing
# touch /tmp/0_script_test
NowLeasedMac=$2
if [ “$NowLeasedMac” == “10:B3:32:42:55:62” ]; then
#Do what you want here when dashbutton pressed.
#e.g. I switch on-off my squeezebox player.
wget http://10.10.1.204/cm?user=demo&password=demo&cmnd=Power Off
echo “Caught !”
fi

Its a Sonoff behind with the cm? command to put it offline when is online.

Cant help me? Thanks

Because /etc/dnsmasq.conf (default dnsmasq config file) already contains a 'dhcp-script=' directive in it

If you are using a dedicated DASH button Amazon discontinued supporting them several months ago at least in the USA. They no longer work. They are electronic trash now.

If you log into your Amazon account you can still use virtual DASH buttons but Amazon really wants you to ask Alexa to get you what you need

To bad as my wife really liked the real buttons.

Can you help me to fix the problem?
When the button is pressed than call with wget the "tasmota" url to activate oder deaktivate the light.

@CaptainSTX
Yes you have right, the Amazon Dashbutton is deactivated and electronic trash now.
When you connected to amazon and press the button to order -> is trash now
When you only have connected to your wlan and close the setup you can use the dashbutton to any "action" when sniff or filter the mac of the dashbutton.

Big thanks for your replay. I hope you can help me to integrated the "dash" button for the sonoff action.

Not I at the moment. Maybe @ColinTaylor or another site guru might have an idea.

If I understand right, when you press the button is when the 'Dashbutton' connects to the router, then disconnects after X secs Im guessing, and you are trying to execute a script when then Dashbutton connects?

If my above post is a correct assumption you can read though this thread https://www.snbforums.com/threads/creating-network-services-filter-script-can-this-be-done.61516/ and the linked threads in that to see about using the arp table to see when a device connects. Or google search

snb forum device connect script

There may be a way to edit the dhcp-script file called in the /etc/dnsmasq.conf but likely not otherwise Id think there'd be a thread around about it

Many use 'dnsmasq.postconf' to plug-in their custom script:

e.g. this is mine

# v384.9 (Feb-2019) ASUS now uses dnsmasq directive:
#    dhcp-script=/sbin/dhcpc_lease
if [ $FIRMWARE -ge 38409 ];then
    pc_replace "dhcp-script=/sbin/dhcpc_lease" "dhcp-script=/jffs/scripts/DHCP_LeaseTracker.sh   # Request my dhcpc_lease script" $CONFIG
fi

then simply call '/sbin/dhcpc_lease' at the end of the custom script.

Remove the following line from 'dnsmasq.conf.add'

dhcp-script=/jffs/a/post-lease.sh

then create

/jffs/scripts/dnsmasq.postconf

pc_replace "dhcp-script=/sbin/dhcpc_lease" "dhcp-script=/jffs/scripts/post-lease.sh   # Request my dhcpc_lease script" $CONFIG

then add the call to the ASUS utility '/sbin/dhcpc_lease' to the end of your custom script

/jffs/scripts/post-lease.sh

#!/bin/sh

NowLeasedMac=$2

if [ “$NowLeasedMac” == “10:B3:32:42:55:62” ]; then
   #Do what you want here when dashbutton pressed
   #e.g. I switch on-off my squeezebox player.
   wget http://10.10.1.204/cm?user=demo&password=demo&cmnd=Power Off
   echo “Caught !”
fi

/sbin/dhcpc_lease $@

Thanks for reporting this, but please search the forum, first reported 4 months ago.

Sorry to you, but i found only topics with the same probem but no with the fix and in beta versions but nothing answers to this problem

The search give me no more related and fixed tipps.

It's not only the dash button on every wlan client this message is reapeating it in the logfile.
Can you give me a tipp or link to fix it - i found it not
