Revision as of 15:22, 24 November 2010

Here is Makers Local 256's version of what we are thinking of doing.

Cooperation with Sherwin and the rest of the tenants
Should be extremely reliable. QA / field testing should be fun.
Should cheap enough to replace all artists keys or work with the current lock system
Should have an option to buzz people in for visitors
Will be internal requiring access to two doors

Jeenodes
- Do they have enough range?
- What would the power situation be like?
- What are the failure modes?

Ethernet shield and web server
- One wire between door and router, second wire between router and server, and always on door server. As few "moving" parts as necessary.
- would require people to be on the loadoffun wireless to buzz people in
- could store access keys locally incase server melts down

Electric door strike
- we have one but from our tests it will not work on the outside door. Great for door to studio
Electromagnetic lock
- requires a battery backup incase power goes out
- requires a button to be pressed to exit

What are the money and time costs of using a pre-packaged solution?
