Keep Hackerspace door locked, pls?

[Christian von Kleist]

Hey, hackers. Please keep Hackerspace's electromagnetic door lock turned on, even if you're inside. Occasionally it is accidentally left unlocked when no one is there.

Is it okay with everyone if we just leave it locked all the time? (Tuesday nights and big events are an exception, of course.)

I kinda dislike the idea - would like interested people to be able to look in.   Just sayin.

I tell a lot of people we'd like to meet about the place,  would like it to be inviting.  (still recovering myself, don't make it around there as often as I want just yet)

Hack solution?   Is the door lock networked?   Can we whip up presence sensors?

We can definitely get the door lock on the network. (There is already
a wireless RaspberryPi-based RFID door lock at The Cove which I put
together, and it's not in use anymore. I might get that going again. I
think Ian and Allen also have interest in doing that stuff.)

We do, indeed. We've even got tentative dates "during the break" to work on it.

I really want the access control to be controlled from the cloud, not
depend on KleistNet. I've got to get off my butt to make that happen.

The bar on Main Street that Augi owns. (Used to be Alcove.)

I threw together a wifi-enabled RaspberryPi with a USB card reader. It
controls a door lock just like the one at Hackerspace. You can
unlock/lock it and edit the RFID card list via SSH.
