[dms-discuss] electronic keys are down, for now

Sorry for joining the conversation so late-
   it's worth mentioning that during the 'continuous unlocking failure'
episode I opened up the BBB(?) box to make sure that the motor had
retracted far enough. I took off the box, disconnect the box's LED lights,
unscrewed the arm(extending between the motor and the deadbolt) and tried
to retract the mechanism to get it to 'unlocked state'.

Perhaps this was a bad idea- but* I don't think* I damaged anything in the
process of disassembling or reassembling the BBBB. I certainly cleaned up
afterwards, don't know where the mess came from(D:) (duhn duhn duhn mystery
thickens).

Sorry for any confusion, I really hope that I can let people in this
Monday. (D:)

Please make an announcement when it's fixed!
