This device is screwed into the wall in the entryway. It runs some cool code where when you scan a door fob, it'll print that user's name on a name tag.

It will first read the nickname field in the membership profile, or otherwise print your first name. You can also add a second line to your default nametag in your membership profile with your preferred pronouns, social handle, etc. See "How To" for Member instructions.

Not a member or don't have a fob? See "How To" for Guest instructions.

You can check out the code on GitHub.
