[131.16 --> 135.98] Just something, even something around that size, I think, would be perfect for what I have envisioned for the future.
[136.04 --> 136.72] 24 panels.
[137.02 --> 140.06] I think SolarEdge is the company that I went with.
[141.04 --> 141.48] Yeah.
[141.60 --> 146.62] And they've got an online monitoring platform, which Home Assistant, of course, talks to.
[146.90 --> 152.80] And there's a local ZigBee gateway that talks to the inverter as well to provide that information.
[153.30 --> 155.14] In fact, when they were installing it, it was kind of funny.
[155.14 --> 158.78] The installer knocked on my door and said, hey, where's your router?
[159.26 --> 160.10] And I'm like, hmm.
[162.32 --> 163.40] Is that your yank?
[164.78 --> 164.98] Router?
[165.82 --> 168.22] Why do you want access to my router?
[168.84 --> 172.72] And he was like, oh, I've got this ZigBee box I want to plug in.
[172.90 --> 173.84] And I'm like, why?
[174.18 --> 176.26] And he told me about everything it does.
[176.34 --> 177.56] And I thought, oh, that's so cool.
[177.98 --> 179.04] And I was like, what do you need?
[179.10 --> 180.44] He goes, I just need an Ethernet port.
[180.44 --> 182.22] I'm like, oh, oh, OK.
[182.40 --> 183.18] I got you covered.
[184.26 --> 185.20] That's pretty great.
[185.80 --> 189.68] So now it's connected up and it all talks back to the equipment over ZigBee.
[189.78 --> 190.58] Wow, that's wild.
[190.96 --> 196.64] That is, you know, we also learned recently that ZigBee is used on the Mars helicopter
[196.64 --> 197.44] opportunity.
[197.68 --> 198.74] Or no, I'm sorry, ingenuity.
[199.08 --> 201.58] And that's how it talks back to the Mars rover is over ZigBee.
[201.58 --> 201.78] Really?
[201.90 --> 202.36] That's cool.
[203.02 --> 203.20] Yeah.
[203.20 --> 208.48] So ZigBee's getting used on Mars to communicate with the little drone helicopter.
[209.06 --> 209.72] Well, that's pretty cool.
[209.78 --> 213.22] I'll be interested to follow your journey to see how that setup evolves.
[213.76 --> 216.72] And then eventually I can't wait to hear stories of you up there on the roof trying to clean
[216.72 --> 218.48] those panels after some storm or something.
[218.66 --> 218.76] Oh, God.
[218.96 --> 219.74] Yeah, you know it's coming.
[221.26 --> 221.66] Yeah.
[222.12 --> 225.74] Well, I have a confession to make before we get too far into the show.
[225.82 --> 228.26] So first, I want to tell you about our friends at A Cloud Guru.
[228.64 --> 230.06] This episode is brought to you by them.
[230.06 --> 233.38] They are the leader in learning for the cloud, for Linux and other modern tech skills.
[233.58 --> 235.48] Hundreds of courses, thousands of hands-on labs.
[235.58 --> 238.98] Get certified, get hired, get learning at acloudguru.com.
[240.14 --> 248.76] So while I was in Montana, I decided to be just, I guess, like extra challenging and give
[248.76 --> 250.38] myself more stress during my trip.
[250.38 --> 255.30] I decided to just to kind of throw a wrench at everything and do a episode of Coda Radio
[255.30 --> 257.30] live on the road.
[257.30 --> 261.96] Not that this is impossible, but when, you know, I've pre-recorded everything and I'm
[261.96 --> 265.92] only doing one live show on the road, like I'm not really in the right headspace.
[266.04 --> 267.60] I haven't really checked everything out.
[267.68 --> 271.00] I didn't really think through it methodically like I would if it was a whole series of shows
[271.00 --> 272.04] I'm going to produce.
[272.04 --> 280.46] And one of the things I didn't really have dialed in before I left for Montana was remote desktop
[280.46 --> 281.06] control.
[281.16 --> 282.76] And it has to be remote desktop.
[282.90 --> 283.98] It can't be SSH.
[284.04 --> 287.76] I actually have to see the console because of the audio tools we use in our mixer.
[288.46 --> 289.76] I have to see the console.
[290.38 --> 292.96] And I thought, well, you know what I'll do?
[293.36 --> 295.44] I know I shouldn't do this, but I don't have time.
[295.44 --> 299.70] I'm going to throw TeamViewer on these machines.
[300.16 --> 303.52] And when I'm in Montana, I'll pull up TeamViewer and I'll get everything working.
[303.62 --> 304.86] I'll get the stream up over TeamViewer.
[304.92 --> 305.38] It'll be fine.
[306.92 --> 309.02] And for about five minutes, it was.
[309.20 --> 310.82] I got I got remoted in.
[310.98 --> 313.74] I realized, oh, this machine, you know, it's not running quite right.
[313.82 --> 314.98] It needs to be rebooted.
[314.98 --> 318.78] So I restarted the machine I was remoted into, which is fine, right?
[319.24 --> 319.76] That's fine.
[320.00 --> 321.22] It comes back up.
[322.14 --> 329.50] And TeamViewer, it has like some detective code in there that detected that I was doing
[329.50 --> 333.76] admin like functions, remoting into a machine, rebooting and then trying to reconnect to
[333.76 --> 334.70] it after a few minutes.
[334.84 --> 340.72] And it detected that I was doing these admin like functions and then disabled my ability
[340.72 --> 342.32] to connect for like 15 minutes.
[342.32 --> 347.92] Now, that sucks because I'm an hour out from going live and I want to get the stream up.
[348.16 --> 351.36] I like to get the stream up about an hour before we start so people can start, you know,
[351.38 --> 353.76] assembling 15 minute timeout.
[353.84 --> 355.36] OK, so I go about and I do my other things.
[355.42 --> 356.70] I set other stuff up.
[357.04 --> 359.80] 15 minutes goes by and I may be getting the time window wrong.
[359.86 --> 362.34] This was a few weeks ago, but that 15 minutes goes by.
[362.44 --> 363.16] I reconnect.
[363.66 --> 364.40] Nope, sorry.
[365.30 --> 366.46] Admin activity detected.
[366.66 --> 367.82] You have to wait 15 minutes.
[368.70 --> 369.30] Oh, man.
[370.10 --> 371.62] So I keep going, setting up.
[371.62 --> 373.56] Now I'm like a half hour.
[373.94 --> 375.70] Actually, I let extra time go by just in case.
[375.76 --> 378.72] And now I'm like I'm at the 40 minute mark.
[379.34 --> 380.96] Show starts at the top of the next hour.
[381.64 --> 383.22] So I'm like trying to get connected.
[383.54 --> 384.70] I gave it extra time.
[384.78 --> 386.52] I gave an extra like 5, 10 minutes.
[386.80 --> 387.72] I connect again.
[388.40 --> 388.80] Nope.
[389.02 --> 389.68] Admin detected.
