That's what Amazon's IoT button is. A more expensive Dash button that you can control.

"Control", though, doesn't mean source code for the device, but rather, programmatic control over the endpoint (Lambda, etc). "You can code the button's logic in the cloud "

The first gen STM32 based Dash buttons were hackable[1], but Amazon changed to a different platform (ATMEL[2]) and locked them down.
