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???

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

  I live in a warm climate and can confirm that sometimes the passengers do start fermenting, if it's summer in the middle of the day.

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?

Ooh I've no idea what that would do, but wanted to share something interesting I noticed. When I visited Korea, I've noticed companies tend to have exact 12-1PM lunchtimes, all at the same time. People raise eyebrows if you leave at 11:50 and return 12:50. At 12PM, it's hard to grab an elevator going down, so people will press the "up" button to try to catch an empty elevator, then ride it to the top then down to the ground. Vice versa for 1PM.

It just seems so inefficient to do it that way? In theory, I guess the company sorta benefits from having everyone on/off at once, but doing it like that basically guarantees traffic jams.

    All the buildings in Samsung's digital city in Suwon have their lunches organized by floor. It is verboten to go to the cafeteria before the lights on your floor dim, indicating it is now your floors turn. The cafeterias, while huge, aren't large enough to accomodate everyone going at the same time.
