Our always-on little server will be used to collect data from the HackSpace and provide a number of interfaces for the presentation of that data. This will be for "the things we want to know about" and various interesting statistics.
- door contacts
- We'll want to do the main HackSpace door first
- I got a nice reed-magnet contact switch from expolinkalarms.co.uk on ebay for £1.65
