Problem
The last one turns out the light!
How often do we forget to turn off the office lights in the evening? Way too often. So, I looked for a reward strong enough to remind colleagues.

Lösung
Rewarded with cuddling.
Next to a shared workspace in the agency, I placed a doll bed big enough for a computer mouse. Inside the mouse was a small magnet that activated a reed sensor. A Raspberry Pi Zero registered the change in resistance and sent a command to the Philips Hue lights. Tadaah! The emotional trigger worked. The joy of tucking the little computer mouse into bed at the end of the day was strong enough to significantly reduce power consumption.
