  Finished

For the mod I took out a piece of metal that connected 1 pin off all 5 outlets. I used 4 Wago clips and some solid core copper wire to connect it all up. Now all 5 sockets can be toggled with relays 4-8.

Code

See https://github.com/NURDspace/Arduino_Ethernet

Purpose

• Use at Maker Faire Eindhoven to toggle some shit via IRC.
• Use at space to have some more lights automated (maybe in Zaal 2 or 3)

Todo for Maker Faire

• Get more lamps
• Modify a power strip so that individual outlets can be toggled

Future plans

• Add a (membrane) keypad
• Add another power strip for the other 3 sockets?
