Usage

There is a webserver running on OpenDuino at http://openduino.lan/. It shows the status of the LEDs. Red=closed, green=open.
If the hackerspace status is set to closed, the webpage also displays the current alarm status and a link to change it. Just follow the prompts to do this. You will need your wiki password and be a member of syn₂cat. The moment openduino says something like "sweeping badge" just wait and see. After some seconds the alarm LED will switch to your desired state. It's obvious that this is meant to be used from in front of the locked doors with your favorite wifi device. The URL is protected by the firewall so that the only access to the openduino webpage is from the hackerspace itself and not from somewhere on the Internet.
The two doors inside the space are checked to automatically set the space to open or close. You don't need to do any button pushing. When closing, turn the key twice, else the detection will not work.
In case the automatism does not work, there is a button you can find near the two LEDs. To set the space to open, push it so that the green LED is on. To set the status to closed, push it so that the red LED is on. This will then change the status on the webpage.

After reboot or reset of OpenDuino it will recover the currently active open/close status shown on the webpage.
Following a more general power loss, OpenDuino will go into the close state (red LED is on). If you don't put it into green mode, the closed status will be published to the website after 5 minutes.
If there is no network connectivity and you try to put the status to open it will go back to closed after a short delay. Repair the network problem and then try again. Connect a PC to the HUB on top of the fridge to test the connectivity.
The little blinking LED is a status indicator. If it's stopping blinking then something is wrong. Some short pauses are normal when OpenDuino is busy doing fancy stuff.
