I forked ... update includes a method to remove duplicate ARP commands as the Dash button seems to randomly send 1-4 which ads duplicate lines to the Google Sheet.

I'm on a MAC and replaced AF_PACKET with AF_INET, but my scripts never gets triggered when I press the button. I've setup my dash just like in the post. Any idea why it might not be showing up?

Updated to fix issue with non-ARP packets.
