Usage

Open Close

Whenever you open the space and will be around for long enough to other non-keyholder members to come down and also use the space, press the space open button to let them know.

If you are locking the space up as the last member out the door, press the space closed button to let other members know that they will not be able to access the space without a key.

Pressing the space closed or open buttons when the space is already in that state will do nothing.

Open for X hours

If you know you will be around for an approximate number of hours, when opening the space, repeatedly press the space open button to cycle through from 0-9 hours to announce the space open for.

If you just press once it will show 0 hours, equally if you increment from 9 hours you will return to 0 hours. 0 hours will simply state space open with no specific hours in the slack channel.
