Amazon is opening up Dash Button sales to all Prime members, giving them a physical button that instantly replenishes household goods.</p><p>
Amazon announced the Dash Button (http://www.techhive.com/article/2904393/amazon-dash-button-lets-you-insta-buy-household-goods.html) on March 31, leading some to wonder if it was an early April Fool’s joke (http://www.techhive.com/article/2905401/dont-dash-to-dash-new-amazon-buttons-aid-brands-not-consumers.html). But the retailer was dead serious about the effort, and started shipping the palm-sized buttons on an invite-only basis.</p><p>
Now, anyone with a Prime membership can buy a Dash Button for $5 apiece (http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?node=10667898011&amp;utm_content=bufferb3172&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_campaign=buffer#shopall) “while supplies last.” There are 18 buttons in total, covering popular brands such as Tide, Huggies, Gatorade, Gillette, and Clorox. Each button comes with adhesive for sticking it onto a dishwasher, kitchen counter, or cabinet wall. The buttons then connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2954256/connected-home/amazon-s-crazy-dash-buttons-on-sale-for-all-prime-members.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
