[2316.54 --> 2319.94] And the hosted service that costs $12 a year. |
[2320.58 --> 2321.92] I never have to think about it. |
[2322.06 --> 2333.56] And for passwords, when I have way too many devices in my life, and I have often got more than one phone and a tablet and a laptop and a desktop and a server and wife's phone and blah, blah, blah. |
[2333.56 --> 2335.80] I just don't need that extra complexity in my life. |
[2335.80 --> 2365.78] Thank you. |
[2365.80 --> 2371.78] And you're all familiar with cloudfree.shop at this point. |
[2371.88 --> 2376.28] You can go over there and use the coupon code self-hosted to get $1 off a smart plug. |
[2376.62 --> 2381.26] The version 2 smart plugs from CloudFree have just launched with built-in energy monitoring. |
[2381.94 --> 2384.66] But some good news for the British people in the audience. |
[2385.04 --> 2390.04] One of our other listeners on the other side of the pond has launched a similar store in England. |
[2390.58 --> 2393.10] This is at mylocalbytes.com. |
[2393.10 --> 2400.12] And to start with, he has launched a couple of Zigbee devices as well as a branded smart plug for LocalBytes. |
[2400.12 --> 2403.42] Again, you can use the coupon code self-hosted to get a pound off that. |
[2404.30 --> 2414.86] But for all of those of you that have been asking me about cloudfree.shop shipping to the UK, well, here's your answer at mylocalbytes.com. |
[2414.86 --> 2416.24] Wow, that's so great. |
[2416.30 --> 2418.52] Now, we have no affiliation with them other than they are listeners. |
[2419.00 --> 2420.60] But this is incredible. |
[2420.72 --> 2422.72] They even have an LED light strip thing there. |
[2423.20 --> 2424.06] What a cool idea. |
[2424.56 --> 2425.36] What a cool idea. |
[2425.80 --> 2426.80] Mylocalbytes.com. |
[2427.00 --> 2428.84] And I love that there's some Zigbee tech in there. |
[2428.90 --> 2429.92] I've been thinking more and more. |
[2430.02 --> 2431.74] I think I'm going to quit getting Wi-Fi devices. |
[2431.86 --> 2433.80] I'm going to go Z-Wave and Zigbee on stuff. |
[2433.80 --> 2439.80] We got an email in about my usage of WallPanel. |
[2439.90 --> 2440.90] The Linux trucker writes, |
[2440.98 --> 2443.78] I was listening to your last episode and heard you talking about WallPanel. |
[2444.12 --> 2446.80] Although it is great software, I feel there is a better option. |
[2446.80 --> 2455.56] The Fully Kiosk browser does everything that WallPanel does, including motion detection, auto launch, and will even function with the Home button on Android. |
[2455.94 --> 2459.50] However, for use with Home Assistant, it takes it a step further. |
[2460.32 --> 2466.58] Fully Kiosk will connect to MQTT and send battery, temperature, and some of the other information to Home Assistant. |
[2466.96 --> 2471.94] I'm using this in combination with a smart outlet to cycle the battery in hopes it will last a little bit longer. |
[2473.06 --> 2474.32] Man, I've been talking about doing that. |
[2474.40 --> 2475.36] That's awesome. |
[2475.88 --> 2477.26] Linux trucker goes on to say, |
[2477.36 --> 2481.86] It also gives you one more device you can use for automations and tinkering in Home Assistant. |
[2482.60 --> 2489.08] This is a very small $5 fee to unlock all of the features, and I don't mind supporting great software that I use every day. |
[2489.50 --> 2492.92] Give it a look before you settle for WallPanel, the Linux trucker. |
[2492.92 --> 2495.36] And we have an anonymous person who wrote in saying, |
[2495.66 --> 2496.28] Hi, Chris Nellix. |
[2496.40 --> 2500.66] I recently bought my first apartment, and construction will take about two years. |
[2501.12 --> 2504.56] My wife is going to focus on the kitchen, the living room, and the bathroom. |
[2504.94 --> 2508.28] Whilst what I'm thinking about are the tech parts of the project. |
[2508.56 --> 2509.04] Of course. |
[2509.20 --> 2513.02] I have many things I'm wondering about, and I'm not entirely sure what to prioritize. |
[2513.74 --> 2518.52] I mean, laying cables and other electrical work is probably going to be one of the more important things, |
[2518.52 --> 2524.32] but I'm already wondering, for example, whether PoE is the right tech or not. |
[2525.00 --> 2527.72] A totally different topic is IoT and home appliances. |
[2528.06 --> 2532.82] You can buy washing machines and ovens and all sorts of things with Wi-Fi built in these days, |
[2533.02 --> 2538.40] but some of this stuff is going to be in a basement where Wi-Fi might not be the best choice. |
[2539.10 --> 2541.76] I am hoping that there is some compromise for all this. |
[2542.64 --> 2543.40] Can you help me? |
[2543.40 --> 2548.38] This is an opportunity because he is so early in the stage of planning. |
[2548.52 --> 2550.56] He can run Cat 7. |
[2550.76 --> 2552.82] He could run Fiber if he wanted to. |
[2552.94 --> 2554.94] I mean, he could really go all out. |
[2555.06 --> 2558.28] And he could also run Ethernet to Wi-Fi access points. |
[2558.84 --> 2561.34] This is how you get your Wi-Fi rock solid, by the way, |
[2561.42 --> 2564.84] is you have multiple Wi-Fi access points that have Ethernet run to them. |
[2565.02 --> 2568.66] And that stuff just works nearly like Ethernet. |
[2568.66 --> 2572.54] I won't say like Ethernet because nothing works like Ethernet, but it's pretty close. |
[2573.08 --> 2579.84] And if you're in this, man, if you're in this stage right now, Anonymous, you are in such a great position. |
[2580.10 --> 2584.50] I mean, imagine, Alex, if you could have been two years before your house was even finished building. |
[2584.70 --> 2588.42] Like, oh, what a great, so many choices, but what a great position to be in. |
[2588.80 --> 2591.90] Well, it's the ultimate conclusion of being a self-hoster, isn't it? |
[2591.90 --> 2593.06] It's to be a self-builder. |
[2593.06 --> 2598.22] So I think in my life plan at some point, it might be 10 years away, |
[2598.38 --> 2602.88] but I really want to build my own house and do all of this stuff and make all these decisions. |
[2603.70 --> 2610.12] And to that point, another one of our listeners is embarking on a similar journey himself up in Vermont. |
[2610.74 --> 2613.78] His name is Matt, and they have a YouTube channel called Adventurous Way. |
[2613.88 --> 2615.16] There'll be a link to it in the show notes. |
[2615.54 --> 2619.52] They've literally only just closed on the 40-acre plot of land up in Vermont. |
[2619.52 --> 2621.34] And currently, Chris, they live in an RV. |
[2621.34 --> 2626.94] So, you know, there's a lot of stuff, a lot of synergy between his approach to stuff and yours right now. |
[2627.64 --> 2629.58] So I'm really curious to see what they're doing. |
[2629.66 --> 2633.66] I've just watched a video tonight where they're cutting back all the trees on the land, for example. |
[2633.66 --> 2638.02] So they're doing it all themselves pretty much right from the very beginning. |
[2638.20 --> 2640.84] And man, does that fill me with some excitement. |
[2640.98 --> 2644.12] I think in the future, you've got to do it. |
[2644.12 --> 2644.80] I've just got to do it. |
[2644.96 --> 2645.56] I feel the same way. |
[2645.62 --> 2646.74] I feel exactly the same way. |
[2646.76 --> 2648.22] So I'm definitely going to check out their channel. |
[2648.22 --> 2651.74] I could see parking Lady Joupes on some land and building from there. |
[2652.06 --> 2655.34] I think that'd be the ultimate final destination for Lady Joupes if I could. |
[2655.82 --> 2657.70] It'd be some piece of land that we park her on. |
[2657.94 --> 2661.02] I can imagine a JB commune right now. |
[2661.14 --> 2663.64] Brent in his little house in the corner. |
[2664.10 --> 2664.54] Totally. |
[2665.32 --> 2665.76] Yes. |
[2666.66 --> 2666.92] Yeah. |
[2667.12 --> 2667.32] Yeah. |
[2667.48 --> 2668.18] You'd be there. |
[2668.26 --> 2669.04] Wes would be there. |
[2669.12 --> 2669.74] It'd be great. |
[2670.08 --> 2670.58] Yeah, man. |
[2670.58 --> 2677.30] You know, I've retrofitted many homes in the last few decades with the technologies of the day. |
[2677.30 --> 2688.06] And I think part of my advice would be to look at the cost of laying a bunch of cable versus what you think the future might bring in the next even five years. |
[2688.06 --> 2694.98] Because some of the homes that I've lived in that have been retrofitted with Ethernet to every room. |
