Pfft. List is far from
complete. I have done 3rd party interfaces to several elevator controllers. I am highly encumbered by NDA’s, so won’t say much. But I still wonder what “Korean Lunch 2” mode does???

#12I wish 'hold to deselect' was standard. It only works on some elevators and it can be quite annoying if some kid presses all floors ...

#13Pet mode is interesting; it allows you to take your pet on an express ride to your desired floor at the cost of a slightly slower speed.
Some destination-dispatch systems used in high-end residential towers will not schedule pet owners and non-pet owners to the same cab at the same time. Which makes a lot of sense.

#14Since we’re talking about elevators, it would appear anyone can call the elevator’s emergency phone line. Which is good, but also has unintended consequences: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMdXyQ5ra/

#15my personal favorite is the Sabbath mode https://elevation.fandom.com/wiki/Sabbath_service_(SHO) not to pick on a specific belief system, but it's quite interesting the lengths people go to follow the letter but not the spirit of things.
The letter was, they believe, the word of God. If God hadn't meant the loophole to be there then he would have used different words. The loophole is divine.

#16Maybe this is common knowledge, but I never knew people used fandom for topics like this. I’m amazed that it had 800+ articles and over 1000 videos on a wiki dedicated to elevators.
There are many "elevator spotters" on YouTube. I can watch elevator videos for hours.
For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nE9x-S_3sdY
It's a very interesting community:

Ah, yes. The mode that fills the elevator with vinegar and waits for the passengers to ferment.

The prohibition is on doing work generally, with a specific prohibition on kindling a fire, which was quite a lot of work millennia ago.
Does using a device that allows you to avoid walking up many flights of stairs really violate the spirit of a law prohibiting work on the sabbath?

Wouldn't that most likely be derivative of a peak mode (either up or down).
Park at top, open doors, wait for traffic down, return up.
Korea Lunch 1 would park at top for people leaving for lunch, 2 would park at bottom for people returning?

> not to pick on a specific belief system, but it's quite interesting the lengths people go to follow the letter but not the spirit of things. That's not the way observant Jewish people look at it at all. You're assuming that these workarounds are not "following the spirit", but according to them, the workarounds are as much a part of the spirit of the law as the law itself.
Tell that to your nearest Eruv.
