I second the objection. Unless we have a really good reason to
analyze/distribute[1] this "door access metadata"[2], let's not do it.
Let's default to more privacy, not less. Same thing goes for DHCP leases
and network traffic in general.

I think a much better idea would be to set up some cameras inside the space
and stream them on our website.

[1] I understand door access is already logged for security and door
diagnostic purposes, but only the keyfob czar (CStanners) has access to
these logs.
