Expose hackerspace information via a JSON structure. See spaceapi.net for details.

The current backend has been made modular for easy maintenance and feature expansion. The first implemented expansion is temperature sensors.

Most of the latest implementation has been done by Da Syntax and xopr (ask them for details).

Currently, both the new and old system are running in parallel, but some things need to be done before deprecating the old system.

Update the ackspace.nl/spacestate.php 'widget' which was used on hackerspaces.nl (determine whether this can be removed completely)
~~ackspace.nl/status.php~~ now gives a 301 - moved permanently, which is needed because the open space directory of spaceapi.net (JSON) and its GitHub repo is outdated; it is superseded by fixme.ch (JSON) with the latest revision on fixme-lausanne's GitHub repo

Several systems are tied to the backend:

inputs	category	outputs	category
Space state (switch)	hardware	Space state (telephone system)	software
ESP8266-SpaceState	hardware, firmware	Spacestate indicator /!\	hardware, firmware
Spacestate sensors /!\	hardware, firmware	Mobile Spacestate Indicator	hardware, firmware, software
		IRC ACKspace-statusbot	software
		SpaceAPIBot (Telegram)	software
		Pebble watch app	software
		Widget:SpaceAPI	software

Affiliated github repositories:

Deprecated implementations:

created database for space state (log) and sensor values
new php code online (currently running parallel with the old version)
created new space state hardware interface using the ESP8266 which connects to the same old switch
~~First draft after recovery esp8266-SpaceAPI-full.tar~~ Note that the used JSON parser library will cause heap corruption.
front page widget is now a real widget
php backend source online

Updated JSON object to become SpaceAPI 0.13 compliant (see status.php)
- Content type and Cache-Control headers are now sent
- Now uses location object
- Now uses state object
- Space state now has a third state; null. (In case of uncertain state)
Uploaded it to ~~ackspace.nl/status.php~~ but the URL can be changed if necessary..
From the SpaceAPI website: "In order to be able to retrieve the object from within a javascript sandbox, the server of the JSON object should set the ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ header with a value of ‘*’ ".
Added the JSON object to the existing Space state PHP script. Thanks CoolePascal for the help with the PHP stuff!
