Recently, ACKspace gained some automated switches (don't worry, you can still operate them manually).

These are small blocks in between the (mostly) wall outlets and the power strips and are used to switch several places that are assumed switched off when nobody is in the space.

You can lightly press the standby icon to switch it on (the icon will turn green)

Note that all the strips connected have their switch taped off (with a cross written on them) to prevent any confusion; there is only one button to toggle the whole area.

Currently, they are not automated yes, but this will change in the future (which means, they will be switched off if the spacestate switch is off

Also see the sonoff switch page which we gradually want to introduce as remote switch when there is nobody in the space.


We've encountered some problems with the circuit breakers, here a list of devices:

Group 'A' (currently, the 'problem' group)

  • all power strips on the hACKtable
  • TV

Group 'B'

  • fridge

(add missing items to the list)
