The github repo has further technical information and an issue tracker for bugs and ideas: https://github.com/somakeit/smib
SMIB is a slack bot on the So Make It slack instance which will allow users to interact with SMIB through slack channels and commands.
At present SMIB manages space state updates and reporting and the current space state can be seen by opening the SMIB bot page on slack.
SMIB also posts open or closed messages in the space-open-announce channel.
SMIBHID
SMIBHID is the So Make It Bot Human Interface Device, it's buttons by the doors for simply reporting the space open/closed state with the push of a button.
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.
