KrautStatus
This repository contains documentation and sources of KrautStatus. KrautStatus is the n-th iteration of a software/hardware project to communicate whether Jena's Krautspace is open or closed.
KrautStatus consists of three components: an Arduino-sensor-combination at the door, a Python script on a local server, and an API file served on by web server.
The Arduino broadcasts the current state of the door lock to our LAN. The state is determined by a reed sensor in the door lock. In addition, it controls an RGB LED matrix shield that provides a visual indication of the door locks's state in the room.
The python script polls the broadcast state and pushes changes to Twitter, Mastodon and our API file.
The API file is just that, a JSON file. It contains, among other things, the current state of the door lock.
