Space API[1].

There's already a number of spaces using this api and thus Android
apps[2] and webpages[3][4] already accessing this information.

"The HackerSpace Status API proposes a unified syntax to publish 
information about a hackerspace for consumption by javascript widgets, 
mobile apps and other scripts or programs. The API is flexible, and 
allows for custom extensions."

"This is a directory browser for hackerspaces supporting the SpaceAPI 
and listed in the directory. More details about the API here: 
https://hackerspaces.nl/spaceapi/ If you want your camera image to show 
up on your space's page, direct the cam array element in the API towards 
a url ending in jpg, png or gif.

Again, I don't know the details, but it seems to me that the odds are 
good that Space API is what Hive13 uses for their "Space Status" app.
On the hardware side, I think it is an Arduino with Ethernet port 
Internet *Appliance* which senses the state of the "Open"/"Closed" switch
in the physical space.

Cheers,

    If you think that is cool, I invite Freeside to join the Space API[1].
