[1157.46 --> 1162.44] So that's how I used to run Home Assistant for a long time. |
[1162.54 --> 1164.28] I was like, I just have my container at home. |
[1165.24 --> 1168.90] And then I have like, I have Plex running and some other stuff. |
[1169.22 --> 1171.90] And then you had to go and make it a whole OS. |
[1172.06 --> 1172.34] No, I'm kidding. |
[1172.52 --> 1172.60] Yeah. |
[1173.38 --> 1174.72] I hear Plex in there. |
[1174.82 --> 1175.18] Interesting. |
[1175.50 --> 1176.30] What's that setup like? |
[1176.30 --> 1184.40] I mean, so I mainly use Plex because a bunch of the, so I'm in the, I'm from the Netherlands, but I live in the United States. |
[1184.40 --> 1188.08] And there's a bunch of content from the Netherlands that is geo blocked. |
[1188.08 --> 1190.34] And so I cannot access it in the United States. |
[1190.58 --> 1190.84] Yeah. |
[1190.98 --> 1194.76] So I have to jump on a VPN and download either stuff on YouTube or whatever. |
[1194.76 --> 1198.92] And then I also don't want my son to be on YouTube, like unsupervised. |
[1198.92 --> 1205.72] So that's also why I pull in some videos and then I'll just have a Plex account for my son and he can kind of just browse through it. |
[1206.06 --> 1207.46] I do that same thing for my kids. |
[1207.66 --> 1207.84] Yep. |
[1207.92 --> 1208.30] Exactly. |
[1208.36 --> 1209.60] It's a great use case for Plex. |
[1209.92 --> 1210.06] Yeah. |
[1210.14 --> 1212.82] Well, that's, and then how much storage roughly would you estimate? |
[1213.66 --> 1216.14] I think it's like eight terabyte. |
[1216.14 --> 1222.06] I just got some smart errors the other day, two months ago, some CRC smart check error. |
[1222.36 --> 1225.78] So I just, but then, I mean, with Unraid, you have this parity disk. |
[1225.78 --> 1229.98] Your parity disk needs to be the same size or bigger than your biggest disk. |
[1230.06 --> 1232.12] And so my biggest disks were like four terabytes. |
[1232.30 --> 1235.62] And so I was like, wow, I should really update to like eight terabyte disks. |
[1235.74 --> 1238.38] And so I only updated my parity disk now. |
[1238.52 --> 1240.62] And that took like more than a week, right? |
[1240.62 --> 1243.30] Because you have to like pre-clear it and all that stuff. |
[1243.60 --> 1243.72] Yeah. |
[1245.08 --> 1248.28] And then I have, I still have one disk that is like on Riser FS. |
[1248.48 --> 1251.38] And I think they stopped using Riser FS and they're using something else. |
[1251.38 --> 1253.72] And I was looking into, should I migrate this? |
[1253.72 --> 1257.12] And then I was like, no, this is just like, no, it's too much. |
[1257.52 --> 1258.50] It still kind of works. |
[1258.62 --> 1261.20] And so I actually only updated the parity disk. |
[1262.02 --> 1268.42] And then I've, the old parity disk I installed now as in my rate, because there's only a couple of errors. |
[1268.42 --> 1271.36] And then I read online that like, ah, it's okay if you have a couple of errors. |
[1271.62 --> 1274.16] And that was, that was already after I did my whole process. |
[1274.36 --> 1275.10] But of course, I mean. |
[1275.42 --> 1276.96] That just means it's time to start shopping. |
[1277.46 --> 1277.74] Yeah. |
[1278.08 --> 1278.48] Exactly. |
[1278.82 --> 1279.20] Yes. |
[1279.20 --> 1281.86] I'm waiting for some like deals, right? |
[1281.94 --> 1284.10] Because I, those disks are expensive. |
[1284.36 --> 1288.12] I was like, I use the Western Digital Red, I think. |
[1288.42 --> 1290.30] Are you familiar with shucking drives? |
[1290.44 --> 1292.02] Is that of any interest to you? |
[1292.46 --> 1292.98] What is that? |
[1293.52 --> 1298.54] So you buy, you buy a USB hard drive from Amazon or Best Buy or something. |
[1298.68 --> 1300.36] This is Alex's favorite thing to do. |
[1301.56 --> 1302.34] I'll show you. |
[1302.40 --> 1303.46] I've literally got one over here. |
[1303.46 --> 1305.62] It's just like it sounds. |
[1305.74 --> 1308.82] You grab the disk off Amazon and you shuck it out of the case. |
[1309.22 --> 1314.80] I paid for this Iron Wolf NAS Pro $170 for a 10 terabyte drive. |
[1314.94 --> 1315.32] Oh, wow. |
[1315.52 --> 1320.80] And all I had to do to get this was buy a USB enclosure drive and pop it out the USB enclosure. |
[1320.94 --> 1322.46] It took five minutes. |
[1323.14 --> 1325.38] And it's a, it's a normal SATA drive. |
[1325.50 --> 1328.20] There's nothing special about it once you get it out of the case. |
[1328.20 --> 1333.34] If you look just on eBay, just for this drive on its own, I could sell this thing for $350. |
[1333.76 --> 1334.88] In fact, why don't I do that? |
[1335.94 --> 1336.46] There you go. |
[1336.60 --> 1338.08] You got to pay for that solar setup somehow. |
[1340.68 --> 1341.04] Yeah. |
[1341.14 --> 1342.84] So the shucking technique is Alex's favorite. |
[1342.96 --> 1347.26] Sometimes it requires a little more work than that, but it is a great way to get drives at a great price. |
[1347.58 --> 1348.80] Oh, that's a good, a good tip. |
[1349.52 --> 1351.94] Hey, I really talk about solar, Alex. |
[1352.14 --> 1352.40] Yeah. |
[1352.64 --> 1356.28] We're actually working or we have an intern at Home Assistant. |
[1356.28 --> 1362.10] And, well, he actually, he's an intern at Nabokasa, but he's working on Home Assistant stuff. |
[1362.16 --> 1365.78] And his focus right now is create a solution. |
[1366.04 --> 1372.98] How do we get, use Home Assistant to give the user insight into their energy usage and allow optimizing it? |
[1373.62 --> 1380.26] So, of course, Home Assistant has been very, always very focused on home control, home automation. |
[1380.26 --> 1381.58] And it's been like our strength. |
[1382.20 --> 1384.38] History has not been our strength that much, right? |
[1384.38 --> 1388.38] Like our database has been clunky and it's pretty shitty. |
[1389.46 --> 1392.74] So, I mean, we're actually changing this right now. |
[1392.82 --> 1395.22] So in the next release, it's going to be what we call statistics. |
[1395.80 --> 1397.96] And it's going to be a new table in our database. |
[1398.42 --> 1400.88] And it will take like a snapshot every hour. |
[1401.06 --> 1403.96] It will analyze like certain entities that you have. |
[1404.22 --> 1405.96] Right now it's temperature and energy. |
[1405.96 --> 1410.50] We calculate the min, the max, the mean, the sum, all that stuff. |
[1410.50 --> 1423.52] And then the goal is to get like, start generating dashboards on your energy usage and to show like predictions and show, you know, comparing like current period, current week to last week, these kind of things. |
[1423.52 --> 1430.46] Now that second part is not going to be in the next release, but we're already going to start generating statistics in the next release. |
[1430.46 --> 1431.46] Sounds fantastic. |
[1431.68 --> 1437.18] And I'll tell you, the solar company that's doing my install, it's a local one in North Carolina. |
[1437.52 --> 1442.22] They want to charge me $800 for energy monitoring. |
[1442.66 --> 1447.68] So I'm using the, I think SolarEdge is the manufacturer of the panels. |
[1447.68 --> 1454.66] And they have a cloud API, which Home Assistant can poll every 15 minutes, I think, to get the data. |
[1454.82 --> 1457.20] But I'm like, it's in my house. |
[1457.20 --> 1459.62] Why do you need to go to the cloud to get this stuff? |
[1459.92 --> 1464.04] So I'm thinking I might get one of these Shelly energy monitors. |
[1464.20 --> 1468.36] And then, you know, with everything you've just said, I think I might be in business. |
