  “Hi. I’m coming in now” might just be even more terrifying than an aggressive entrance.

  When I was in the Army, our barracks could only turn the AC down so low. There was a plastic piece on the knob you turned to adjust the AC, and a metal bar would hit the plastic, and you couldn't turn it down any further. So I used a soldering iron to melt the plastic, and the metal bar would now pass right through, and I could turn the AC as low as I wanted. My fellow soldiers were very impressed, and within a couple weeks everyone had done something similar. This put a big strain on the AC, and we burnt it out midway through the summer. The Army didn't fix it until two summers later.

  I love it when Brian hangs out with Deve, because Brian's a magician, he knows how to trick people. Social engineering is his THING. And then there's that guy that steals elevators.

  As someone who mostly stay in smaller hotels in Europe I can tell you that if they don't have a fridge in the room and you ask for one for medical reasons they will offer you the employee fridge and then be very confused when you put beer in there. So read the room first, huge hotels probably have some extra mini fridges, small hotels doesn't.

  I so love how Deviant always shouts out to the original creators of the lock strap.

  the lock strap is a great idea until your panicky self is unable to flee from your own room after your malfunctioning fridge caught on fire and you didn't notice how far the flames spread because you set the thermostat to 40F and disabled the sprinklers (probably)

  As important as privacy and security is, please keep in mind that anyone, even those without prior conditions, is capable of having a medical emergency and those overrides also allow hotel staff to let emergency medical services in to save your life. An EMT may not be equipped with the means to break down the door if you block yourself in.

  Done a few hotel builds - We actually ran essentially a &quot;hotel&quot; PLC in each room with blinds, curtains, 4 channels of light dimming and hvac - THAT was addressable from the BMS, but the user-accessible parts... they &nbsp;were all addressed as unit 1 on a dedicated RS-485 bus or simple contact closures. <br><br>No VIP mode without BMS access... Interestingly... the displayed setpoint and actual setpoint could be different. Our displayed minimum was 18deg C. Our actual was 20deg C. &nbsp;The day we did that, the &quot;my room is too hot&quot; complaints disappeared. The PLC was also a zigbee device, which our Vingcard door locks actually tied too - so we had logic based on badged entry (room occupied) - free handle exit (maybe empty - what I called schrodingers state) - and then a PIR in would resolve the occupancy question over the course of an hour. At the end of an hour we dimmed inside lights for 5 mintues then turned them off and move the room to energy saving - we would store the thermostat, lighting, blind and curtain state, and then if the room is unoccupied, set point goes up to 24deg C and heating disabled, blinds and stuff close etc. On next badge in, we would restore to the past state. Service keys would restore lighting but not setpoint. Unoccupied rooms had a higher setpoint of 27 degrees - and then would cool to 24 degrees if there was a booking that day.<br><br>We didn&apos;t necessarily defeat under door tools, but we could &nbsp;see it happening - so we would flag free handle exit in an unoccupied space - that could be fed to security (not sure if they did... I just built it)

  See, what Brian forgot to do was yell &quot;Go away, bad guys!&quot;
