Entrance
Visitors
Whether or not you are a member, you are welcome to visit /dev/hack and use (and make changes to) the space. Non-members are welcome when at least one of these conditions is true:
- Public events are being held (open hack night + any public event on the calendar).
- Someone is present (check door status on the home page for an idea) and willing to give a tour. You may need to press the doorbell and wait.
- They are accompanied by a member, who is responsible for them.
During calendared public events, we try to hold the door open or post a temporary gate code. Press the "#" key for doorbell if you can't get in and someone will get you as soon as possible.
If you want to check out an event that isn't marked public and you don't know anyone going, email us ahead of time!
If you aren't a member, and you're the last one in the space, a mistake has been made. Please follow the Closing Checklist to the best of your ability.
Members
Members have 24/7 access to the space. To get into the building, you can:
- Tap in with member card.
- Use a door code specifically provisioned for you.
- Run !open in Matrix or /openthefrontdoor in telegram.
- Use the door code if you know it (not preferred).
- Use the Home Assistant web UI if you have the secrets (not preferred).
- Bug someone to let you in.
If you are the first person in the space, the gate will likely be armed and you must disarm the alarm system within a minute. Refer to the onboarding wiki on how to disarm the alarm.
If the external internet in the space is down, group chats won't be able to open the door (obviously). if inter-space internet is working member cards & codes should still work.
If internal internet / WiFi is down, TOTP codes should still work & the hardcoded doorcode will too, but nothing else will.
