== Controller and cabeling ==
Outdoor light is on fuse F19. There is a separate RCD in front of the main power distribution box above the demo shelf. 

Connection of Shellies and Zigbee Switch:

Wiring Overview:

== Outdoor Result ==
Please note: The left white flood light is an old one. In theory it should still work and is directly connected to an own fuse.

== Switches ==

=== Main distribution box ===

[[File:IndoorPowerDistribution_and_RCD2_v2.jpg|400px]]

Please note: We added a RC-Glied to the power line of the outdoor lighting, because so many red light bulbs died. We assumed some peaks on the power line might destroy the circuits of the light bulbs. But it's not really clear, if it's the quality of the red light bulbs or the peak son the power line at the end. 

=== Secondary distribution box ===

Distribution box for the connection to the outdoor ligting

== Outdoor Flood Lights ==
There are two flood lights in the yard. These are controlled individually by Shelly Modules (Shelly 1 V3)

Check IPs on [[Network]].

wh-floodlight1: Flood light in front of the lab

wh-floodlight2: In front of the Alte Feuerwehr

Access: The username and password are 'makerman'.

Both are integrated into home assistant

== Colorful Makerlab sign ==
Our sign at the wall is just a flat white acryl glas with some printing on it. This could be much fancier with some background light. => This project needs someone who takes this project

Nachbestellung der korrekten grünen LED sobald verfügbar + zusätzlicher Illu Verbinder für die finale Installation. 

- Die aktuellen grünen LEDs sind schwächer und nicht dimmbar.

- Mit dem aktuellen Stecker geht die Außensteckdose nicht zu. Für den Sommer ok, aber für den Winter sollte es dann fertig gemacht werden.

Lieferbar wahrscheinlich erst im Oktober 2025

=> Geld schon hier mit beantragt: [[20250629 Plenum]]
