There are many things in and around the space which are being hacked. Here are some. Also see digital

See space status on https://mosquitto.shhm.uk/automation/.

The green monitor is an Extech SD800. It currently saves data to an SD card. We are trying to get data out via the RS232 port.

For progress, ask alifeee. Currenty, we can see no output from the RS232 port, and we are not sure why.

It's an extractor fan. The manual is here: 2026-07-21_vent-axia_instructions_compressed.pdf

There is a bot (run by @alifeee) that posts upcoming football fixtures to Discord. Source code: https://github.com/sheffieldhackspace/football-fixtures-webhook

The commons TV is set up with Info Beamer which can display web-pages, images, videos, etc. alifeee has the login to change the pages and layout.

if you have any suggestions, let @alifeee know — they are probably good suggestions ;]

Currently:

1. press 1 for monitoring (Grafana environment sensing)
2. press 2 for space state, accessible on http://sensing.shhm.uk:8000/ (source)
3. press 3 for monitoring (Grafana power monitoring)
4. press “w” or “p” or “t” on the keyboard for some secret pages ;]

coming soon.

There is one large black LCD display extracted from an old blue train station radio clock, gifted by Nottingham Hackspace. See the GitHub. It currently displays memorial benches runs a widget server displaying various information bits.

There is a Raspberry Pi running several things. You can see a list of everything on it via http://sensing.shhm.uk/.

Here's another list that's probably less – or maybe more – out of date.

• monitoring stuff (see monitoring)
  • influxdb
  • prometheus
  • grafana
• exporters (see monitoring)
  • node_exporter
  • shelly pro 3em exporter (https://github.com/sheffieldhackspace/shellypro3em-mqtt-prometheus-exporter)
  • brother exporter (https://github.com/d0ugal/brother-exporter)
• custom things
  • MQTT listener (https://github.com/sheffieldhackspace/hackspace-sensing-mqtt-listener/)
