¶ Requirements to receive an xDoor-Key
¶ Membership
There are two requirements to getting an xDoor-key.
- You must be a member of x-hain.
- You must have at least 3 members who knows you to vouch for you.
You can request a key, for now, on our weekly meetings on Wednesdays. You can read more about them here: https://wiki.x-hain.de/en/Governance
¶ Your vaccination status
- You must be fully vaccinated, i.e. 2x vaccinated OR recovered+vaccinated, with the last vaccination at least 15 days ago.
¶ You are responsible for all persons present without their own xDoor-Key.
You basically have two options:
- Either: You always lock the entrance door after yourself as soon as you have entered or left the space.
- Or: You keep an eye on the door and check the vaccination status of all persons entering the Space. Only fully vaccinated persons (2x vaccinated or recovered+vaccinated) over the age of 12 are allowed to enter xHain while wearing an FFP2 mask. More details in our hygiene concept.
- In addition, you are responsible for the actions of these persons. This means: Do not leave people unattended (e.g. in another room) if you do not know or trust them.
- When you leave xHain everyone has to leave xHain with you, except for members who have their own xDoor key. (If you are unsure, ask them to show you how they lock/unlock the door with their mobile phone).
¶ Always leave xHain tidy and clean.
- Always leave xHain cleaner than you found it. Always clear all workspace areas and tables before you leave.
- Take out the rubbish when bins are full.
¶ Summary
You will only get a key if we trust you to follow our hygiene rules and if you are confident enough to check other people and also ask them to leave if necessary. If you are not comfortable with the latter, please always lock the door behind you.
¶ about xDoor
We have an electronically controlled front door at xHain. With xDoor you can lock and unlock the front door. Once you have been granted key access by our "Schlüsselkinder" (latch-key members), you can then connect your smartphone with xDoor as follows.
xDoor is an electronically controlled mechanism, which turns the key with a motor. You can manually unlock (upper button) or lock (lower button) the door by pressing the buttons. When leaving the space you can lock the door behind you by pulling the door almost shut, reach inside to press the "lock" button and quickly pull the door fully shut.
- Wait a few moments for the motor to finish its movement. Then check if the door is actually locked.
Caution! DO NOT pull the door handle or keep it pulled down while the door mechanism is in motion. This will put the door into a deadlock position which can only be resolved by using a regular hardware key. (Contact @felix if this happens.)
¶ Hardware
Hardware documentation can be found on github.
