The idea of not going a single day without coffee in the office has already convinced us in the beginning!
Now that Amazon Dash Buttons are also available in Italy for Prime users, we can’t wait to buy them and place our first coffee order at the touch of a button. Online retail giant Amazon, has hit the jackpot with the first application for the Internetof Things, the network applied to everyday objects, delivered in 48 hours directly to your home or office.
The simplicity of a button hides a really useful and convenient service, even at an affordable price. In just 48 hours it is possible to receive coffee, cookies, washing machine detergent, toilet paper, and many other products used daily in the home and beyond. The Italian brands that made the Button, on sale on Amazon, are about 30 and range from food, body care, cooking, children’s and office items.
Inside these devices have a wi-fi receiver and an alkaline battery and cost 4.99 euros each, an amount that is immediately refunded with the first order placed.
How are they activated?
From theAmazon App, available for iOS and Android, simply select the “My Account” item and choose “Dash Devices” to set up a new one or to modify an already activated one. You then simply press the Dash Button for 6 seconds to activate it, select the wi-fi network from your smartphone, and finally choose the product, from those available, that you want to purchase. Activated the Button by pressing the button, the led on the button, will flash green if the order was successful or red if not. The notice from Amazon will immediately appear on the Smartphone making known the cost and delivery date, before confirming the order, which in any case can be cancelled within 30 min of confirmation. Beware though… Dash Buttons will not accept more than one order within 24 hours.
So coffee supplies will have to be dosed carefully in any case!
