| Amazon Dash button firmware 40018220_WS | Partly works | Suspected incompatible; later attributed to low batterySaved copyFirmware 40018220_WS seems to not be compatible. Look for initial red lights and no white lights on button press. May add a warning to the log when this firmware version is entered and a note in the UI regarding this firmware version.
