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

Issues we face in the Load of Fun

• Will be internal requiring access to two doors
• Should very cheap enough to replace all artists keys or work with the current lock system
• Should have an option to buzz people in for visitors

Hardware/Possible solutions

• Jeenodes for wireless communication
  • Do they have enough range?
• Ethernet shield and web server
  • 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
