Is this really a software problem? I’m sure the software is functioning fine. The problem is a bunch of idiots decided that to solve the problem of people forgetting to turn the lights off they needed a complicated technology to do it for them. That technology was made with duct tape and bailing wire, and the school system didn’t get a long term support SLA, and whatever controller controls the lights failed open. That part can’t be replaced. The thing about light switches is they don’t require SLAs, and they’re inexpensive. I’m sure everyone felt great about spending half a mil on this junk. The few grand the lights being left on is probably the least costly thing about this mess. Green initiative indeed.
