no the system is entirely independant of the network and routers and hubs!
it died after two hours because the battery we're using is old garbage :)
a decent 12v rechargable battery would easily power it for 24 hours.

i think some part of the door network fails when the
power goes out. all it takes is someone accidentally unplugging one of the many plugs
within the ganglion of wire against
the north wall.
i think we should re-key it - the swiper system is just too vulnerable to rely on
completely.
as to the latch, it has taken several re-adjustments but is now latching completely.

During the power outage a week or two ago, Maureen apparently wasn't able to
get into the front door with the card reader.
Luckily, she managed to get someone to let her in, because she was bringing dry ice to
rescue our freezers...

Of course the front door system has a battery which is maintained automatically and
the door can function without AC power for many hours. I don't know how
many hours because it's never come up.
and if AC power to the box fails for some reason and the rest of the building is
still powered, we get notifications in IRC Chat so we know to check on the
door system and restore charging before the battery starts going down.

Will there still be any kind of backup if (when) the power goes out again?

if nobody objects, i'll disable the key mechanism Tuesday night and
see about adjusting the closure so the auto-close function latches the
door.
If anyone does object to disabling the key, i ask that they go ahead
and re-key the lock and distribute the new key appropriately so this
doesn't happen again.

For what is worth, I've also noticed the door being unlocked
a number of times the past week or two. I do check every time I enter
and exit the Omni, and relock with my
key any time I find it
unlocked.
In addition, the closer on the front door doesn't always seem
to close the door completely, leaving it locked but ajar.

See the thread on omni-discuss about this.
TL;DR: The cops had gotten a call from a concerned parent that
her son might be trying to hurt himself. Alan R. let them into the
building; they checked that nothing was
wrong, and
left again.
