Override

ssh flowers@flowers
sudo doorbot/openDoor.py

The password is hackspace. If the arduino has somehow changed port, you might need to edit that in openDoor.py

Please use this with caution. Once unlocked, the door must be physically opened and closed again to relock.

If you unlock the door remotely, use the webcam to check someone has entered the space.
