Recently, ACKspace gained some automated switches (don't worry, you still need to 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)

desk area

This switches the 3 power strips on the central tables; the switch is located below the network and 2D printer.

3D printer area

This switches the two power strips for both 3D printers. It is plugged in to the permanent power strip next to the plotter (due to lack of wall outlets).

media area

This switches the TV, stereo and RasPi and can be found behind the left side of the red couch. If you need to plug another device, use the white power strip; the black one is permanent power for the freezer and has been taped off.

food area

This switches the "food corner": oven, microwave and coffee machine. It is plugged in the wall on the right side of the red couch.


notes

  • 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 yet, 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)

other info

  • Since 13 October 2017, we have 2x16A (shared, probably upgraded from 12A)
  • Since June 2017 another renter has added servers to the same groups
