Just install the callback with your singularity.

It's funny you mention this - we had some ECE students build this exact thing
for us for one of their projects. They ended up being $100/piece and required a
plugin. They used wifi (definitely some room for improvement there) to notify a
web interface and an infrared sensor to detect if people were there. It was a
really neat project, the cost and implementation requirements just pushed it
out of range to deploy it on a library-wide scale right now.

Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Way to record usage of tables/rooms/chairs in Library
If I were feeling really ambitious -- and fair warning, I'm a big believer that
any solution worth engineering is worth over-engineering -- I'd come up with
something involving light sensors (a la a gate counter) mounted on the table
legs, just above seat height. Throw in some something something Arduino or
Raspberry Pi, and Bob's your uncle.
I find myself more intimidated by the practicality of maintaining such a system
(batteries, cord management etc) than about the practicality of this
implementation, actually.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has been asked before to come up with a way
to record usage of tables.
The ideal solution would be a web app, that we can create floor plans
with where all the tables/chairs are and select the "reporting time",
say 9PM at night. Go around the library and select all the
seats/tables/rooms that are currently being used/occupied for statistical data.
We would be wanting to go around probably multiple times a day.
The current solution I have seen is a pen and paper task, and then
someone will have to manually put the data into a spreadsheet for analysis.
Thanks!
Tom
