Information that nobody needs Wow. Toilet flushes: a significant change in the frequency of toilet flushes may indicate the spread of communicable diseases such as gastroenteritis, or community health problems like food poisoning. Apple-z: Clearly someone is having a lot of problems with whatever software they are using. There is a UX optimisation opportunity there.

> Toilet flushes: a significant change in the frequency of toilet flushes may indicate the spread of communicable diseases such as gastroenteritis, or community health problems like food poisoning. Well, you can't learn anything from just a number of today's flushes. With a proper chart graphing frequency over time and emphasizing changes, sure. But that's not what you get on the dashboard, at least without clicking.…

Hover over that tile and you get a (+). Click on that, and you can graph by day/month/year.

Their YouTube video [0] and GitHub repo [1] are providing some background details (it's all made with Arduino sensors). [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TioYIJhdaKo [1] https://github.com/SidLeeParis/sidLeeAgenceConnectee

You are the real MVP!

Ha and to not be totally negative, because I like it a lot, is the code open source somewhere ?

Yep. https://github.com/SidLeeParis/sidLeeAgenceConnectee

Thanks, I'm especially interested in the dashboard part since I have a personal project with a "dashboard" view ! :)

I know. But some (most?) of this data should be shown by default if you want to be able to just glance at the dashboard and learn anything useful.

OK, this is epic. Well done guys! I especially like this: https://undo.meteor.com/ I sometimes worry about the privacy implications of making this data public but aggregating by hour seems to alleviate some of this. How do you get staff buy-in? e.g. the undo is effectively a key logger. I thought monitoring door locks [0], power usage [1] and temperature [2] was fairly advanced. What are you using for the power monit…

Thanks! https://undo.meteor.com was a side project last year that we aggregated into the dashboard. The undo is indeed a key logger on all Macs at the office. The server only registers the events when the IP address from the sender matches the office's (so we don't log events outside of the agency). We're about 30 people at the office, they all know and trust me. They're all aware of the logger, and it does show in the menubar. And it really, really, really only logs LeftCommand-Z and sends the first name from the logged in user + the active app. Looking forward to your sensors btw!

I find it crazy that people leave/come in to the office at 4AM/5AM in the mornings. Also note the peak in CMD-Z at 12am... :/

Yep. Unfortunately, it happens that we work late. We had a pitch presentation this morning, creative team working all night :S

You lucky bastard, all I got was a blank black page.
