node_pcap: EthernetFrame() - Don't know how to decode ethertype 34958

[AlSa-Her]

Hello,

after I finally got the node working a few weeks back, I just encountered the next problem a few days back :(

Node-Red does not detect any button presses anymore (weirdly enough, I did not change anything much, which could cause this problem).
The terminal output for node-red upon a button press ist:

node_pcap: EthernetFrame() - Don't know how to decode ethertype 34958
node_pcap: EthernetFrame() - Don't know how to decode ethertype 34958
node_pcap: EthernetFrame() - Don't know how to decode ethertype 34958
node_pcap: EthernetFrame() - Don't know how to decode ethertype 34958

This output is generated each time I press the button. The node-red-contrib-amazondash/node_modules/node-dash-button/bin/findbutton script shows similar symptoms. Each time the button is pressed, the four lines appear, but no button/mac-address is detected.

For comparison, I installed the npm node-dash-button module seperately and ran the findbutton script. here, the output was correct and as shown on the README.md file:

Possible dash hardware address detected: ab:cd:ef:gh:ij:kl Manufacturer: unknown Protocol: udp

Although the manufacturer (Amazon) was not detected (see node-dash-button issue #59), the IP-adress matched.

Therefore, I am now wondering if this node-red-node uses an older version of node-dash-button or how come the standalone installation works, but the node doesn't?
Since the node does not work for me and I am not very experienced in javascript, could anyone help me implement the new version of node-dash-button? Suggestions to solve the problem in another way would be helpful too! I have so far tried googling, reinstalling, and replacing the node-red-contrib-amazondash/node_modules/node-dash-button/ folder, none of which solved the problem or worked.

Thank a lot in advance!

Mine detects the button presses but those messages constantly flood the logs, is there any way we can have these filtered out?

update: was able to filter it out by hacking at the pcap/decode/ethernet_packet.js and just deleting the console alert line for the "default"

I also have the same problem (using the homebridge plugin amazondash). Could you please explain what you exactly did? Where is the ethernet_packet.js file you edited stored?
