At syn2cat we run in automatic open mode.<br>
But there is a delay. On entry, if you don't want to announce
presence, you can push a button. It has a nice blinking light
inviting to push. If not, the status goes to "open" after 30
seconds. We don't have a distinction between open for members or
open for anyone.<br>
<br>
If you don't want the app to display to the world if the space is
open, just don't announce that on the API as the API is already open
to the world. The app only gives easier access compared to knowing
an URL.<br>

<br>
At i3detroit, we realized pretty quickly that an automatic system
(I had originally suggested a HacDC-style motion detector) would
not respect the privacy of members who wished to work in the
space, perhaps alone, without announcing their presence to the
world.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So we implemented a simple switch, by the door, which sets
the website statusbox to "open for guests" or "closed to
guests". It's purely voluntary, and a fair number of members
don't use it. If we ever get around to implementing SpaceAPI,
it'll run from this same status bit.<br>

<div>I've made this app using the SpaceAPI to show
your hackerspace status, including a widget and the
list of the spaces which implements the API.</div>

You may want to check if your hackerspace is
working, some of them aren't, or the image is
missing, etc.<br>
