Why not just shut the breaker off at night…
Wait…. how do they have code RED drills if they can’t turn the lights off??? They’re not?
For some reason I feel like I could figure out how to turn the lights out in less than 10 minutes.
apparently they never heard of a breaker box
Couldn't anybody switch off the main connection ?
That stutter, the glasses, the curled lip, those big ole sideburns – ladies and gentlemen I believe we've found Elvis after all these years.
I've been saying that for years. Someones going to hack the building. I would never get lights or deadbolts powered by an app. No way.
who's the original dumb designer to let software to run the system without a failsafe?! and the school can't hire a hacker to fix it?!
Okay which cost more the software the electricity burning lights on or shutting the power off at the main and hiring a security guard overnight??
SLOW NEWS DAY 😂😂
Also serious, my real story while working for Assumption uni Thailand. This uni installed tape recorders in school offices and uploaded on social media our conversation with family for years. Assumption uni uploaded on net without our awareness since nobody expected that AU could be able to commit a crime for many years. This resulted in many times dead incidents to the teachers working there.
have the power company cut the power to the school .. Then rip open wall or ceiling where each wire is that goes to each light and to each AX and to each other thing ,, and cut into that power wire and pkace a breaker switch ..the kind of switches u find in bathrooms and kitchens..under $8.each.. Cut power wire going into the control computer and just add some wire to by pass it and put power wires into the system that will go to the lights,AC and all other stuff.. Give me a million dollars and I will drive over from WA state and fix it and keep the ;eft over money to retire on..lol
Wow! Some "serious" investigative reporting.😜
Gghhh
Wouldn't it be cheaper to have someone re-write the software?
I don’t think they know that all the lights are on a breaker in the electrical room. Turn that breaker off and the lights turn off so simply but so many people don’t understand that…
"Did you try turning it off and back on again?"
Seriously? So glad this is being exposed but dang. 18 months straight? 1.2 mill to change out? Sigh
That is pure Baccarat… I heard many issues as to the cause. None actually fingered the Factual Perp…
God bless Humanity Amen ✝️ 💙🙏 Much love and prayers Brethren Amen 💙 🙏
Parts from China. 🤣 The supplier's kid probably attends the . . . . . . . . . yeah, you know what I mean.
This is why some states have laws requiring physical switches even if you are wifi controlled.
This sounds ridiculous. In 2023 Americans can't figure out how to turn off the lights?
You mentioned it’s a software issue for lights on during lights off time. Why can’t that be fixed? Are there other places having the same problem?
No breaker? No transformer that serves it? Come onn.
Listening to Corky speak was so irritating. Just double talking.
Example: right ah, you know. The teachers, you know…
Sounds cheaper to just pay the light bill than fix the system. At least they're low-energy bulbs.
