Tasks/Sub-Projects

• Add some power sockets where it's needed.
  • There are too few power sockets in the cable conduit beneath the windows, especially in the chill room.

• Add some more fancy lights.
  • Blue, green, yellow, red... we need some more colors in the chill room, and maybe some cool neat illumination in the corridor and WC.

• Add a single on/off button for all these fancy lights.
  • We are lazy, aren't we? So we need one BRS (Big Red Switch) to turn all this stuff on and off when arriving/leaving the Hackerspace.

• Add a 5/12/24 V power source.
  • Instead of having a 12V power supply plugged in each 2 meters, we should put one single and powerful 5-12-24 V power supply in each room.

Ideas

• Power Sockets
  • Some (6) compatible (Tehalit) triple power sockets are already bought by myself. We need to decide where it should be installed first.

• Fancy Lights
  • Where? Which colors? What type of lights (tube, LED, ...)

• BRS
  • Maybe with some EIB relays, would be more expensive but at least it's a standard and instructive for each of us.

• 5-12-24V Power
  • A PC ATX Power Supply should be exactly what we need. Which outlets for the various voltages?

• Out of Office button - everything shuts down automatically.

Achieved

• Power Sockets
  • 3 triple power sockets installed in the chill, well done guy(s).

• Fancy Lights
  • As u may noticed some blue&green lights were added to the chill room.

• BRS
  • Some new toys were added. By entering the chill room u see a remote controller fixed at the right on the cupboard:
