Usage

  • There is a little button you can find near the two LEDs. If you are the first to enter the space, push it so that the green LED is on. If you are the last one to leave, push it so that the red LED is on (the red LED is glowing quite weak). 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 closes 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.
  • There is a webserver running on OpenDuino at http://openduino.lan/. It shows the status of the LEDs.
  • If the hackerspace status is set to closed, the webpage also displays an alarm toggle button. Just follow the prompts to change the alarm status. Sometimes it's not changing, you will need to reload the page until you see a reaction.
