[25.76 --> 26.64] Oh, that ain't right. |
[26.84 --> 27.00] No. |
[27.00 --> 31.38] And I've been thinking about ways to put a temperature sensor in there for a while. |
[31.84 --> 34.32] You know, it's been on my mind and I hear this click. |
[34.36 --> 36.36] So I think, okay, I'm a feeling that doesn't feel right. |
[36.44 --> 40.06] It feels like the tater tots are a little squishy, you know, shouldn't be like that. |
[40.72 --> 42.44] So the wife gets up this morning. |
[42.52 --> 44.54] I tell her, Hey, look, this is what I think is going on. |
[44.86 --> 47.04] Although by this point I'd heard the compressor kick in. |
[47.80 --> 49.14] So it was working again. |
[49.14 --> 51.18] And I thought, hmm, and it definitely was cooling down again. |
[51.72 --> 53.90] But here's the moment that was a victory, Alex. |
[53.96 --> 56.98] You know, she says to me, she's like, Hey, couldn't you put a temperature sensor? |
[57.00 --> 58.22] Put your sensor in there. |
[58.60 --> 60.80] And then we'd get historical trends at home assistant. |
[61.22 --> 62.16] The wife asked that. |
[62.42 --> 62.70] Yes. |
[63.36 --> 64.42] What a win is that, right? |
[64.52 --> 65.30] That is amazing. |
[65.78 --> 66.94] And I was like, right, you are. |
[67.00 --> 69.62] So then I was like motivated, even though I was running late to get down to the studio. |
[69.62 --> 72.22] I was like, no, I'm going to get this set up right now because she's on board. |
[72.32 --> 72.94] We're getting this done. |
[72.94 --> 73.08] Yeah. |
[73.74 --> 76.14] I, you know, so I did a similar thing this week. |
[76.18 --> 77.24] I know you've gone Zed wave. |
[77.44 --> 79.06] I actually went Zigbee. |
[79.28 --> 81.46] I bought a couple of the Akara sensors. |
[81.80 --> 82.06] Yeah. |
[82.18 --> 86.52] And I put a couple in the freezer and they're connected up to home assistant. |
[87.00 --> 87.72] Real easy. |
[88.20 --> 92.14] Time will tell how long batteries last at minus 17 Celsius though. |
[92.88 --> 93.28] Okay. |
[93.28 --> 94.40] So you are doing battery power. |
[94.50 --> 94.86] Okay. |
[94.92 --> 95.32] Interesting. |
[95.58 --> 95.88] Yeah. |
[95.88 --> 96.44] Huh. |
[96.78 --> 101.54] I right now am getting after 24 hours, I am getting 54% battery remaining. |
[101.82 --> 102.68] Oh my. |
[103.22 --> 107.26] And there are two little Duracell lithium batteries, two of them, little lithium batteries. |
[107.42 --> 109.70] So I don't know how long this thing is going to last. |
[110.02 --> 114.98] My kitchen fridge sensor is a hundred percent and the freezer is at 98 and they were both |
[114.98 --> 117.66] powered up at exactly the same time yesterday. |
[117.94 --> 118.08] So. |
[118.72 --> 119.80] Oh, we'll see. |
[120.10 --> 120.56] We'll see. |
[120.56 --> 120.70] Yeah. |
[120.78 --> 123.48] I'm hoping that mine stays at 54%. |
[123.48 --> 127.28] You know, like it just like the sensor just got a big drop because of the cold. |
[127.36 --> 127.78] Who knows? |
[128.86 --> 134.34] But yeah, the Z wave does seem to be making it through the walls of the fridge, which |
[134.34 --> 135.76] I just wasn't so sure about. |
[135.98 --> 137.90] And, you know, I thought this would be a great way. |
[138.10 --> 139.20] The wife was completely right. |
[139.24 --> 144.44] Like I, I got to know because to pull this fridge out, first of all, it's like built |
[144.44 --> 147.74] into the cupboards of the RV and it's bolted in. |
[147.74 --> 150.30] So it has, it'd have to be, so I'd have to take it to a shop. |
[150.30 --> 153.66] They'd have to have a couple of guys remove this fridge. |
[153.78 --> 157.48] Then I'd have to have an RV tech come over or a fridge tech come over and try to repair |
[157.48 --> 157.64] it. |
[157.72 --> 161.88] And if they can't repair that fridge, they have to remove the slide or remove the |
[161.88 --> 165.16] windshield and take the fridge out that way because it's bigger than the door is wide. |
[165.46 --> 165.82] Yeah. |
[166.98 --> 169.34] And it's just a regular old residential fridge. |
[169.44 --> 170.10] They put in these things. |
[170.10 --> 172.84] It's not like it's been like prepared to go down the road or anything. |
[172.84 --> 177.32] It's just, it's just a house fridge that they like, Hey, people like bigger fridges. |
[177.40 --> 179.16] Let's put a, let's put a house fridge in the RV. |
[179.38 --> 181.06] You'd have to take it out the windscreen. |
[181.44 --> 182.12] Oh my God. |
[183.02 --> 184.74] That's like the stuff of nightmares. |
[185.50 --> 185.90] Yeah. |
[186.30 --> 188.22] So I'm going to watch it carefully for a bit. |
[189.02 --> 193.44] I may even get like a battery pack and just try to run a flat USB cord into there. |
[194.02 --> 198.92] When I was Googling online for this, people were really kind of coming up with a pretty |
[198.92 --> 203.50] clever DIY solutions for this where essentially they come up with a really thin cable that |
[203.50 --> 206.20] goes to a remote sensor that they mount inside the fridge. |
[206.22 --> 209.00] And then they have the transmitter and the power source outside the fridge. |
[209.60 --> 213.02] You could do that with an ESP, an ESP board pretty easily. |
[213.58 --> 213.76] Yeah. |
[214.20 --> 214.56] Yeah. |
[214.60 --> 215.62] That would be pretty great. |
[216.00 --> 219.96] And then perhaps I'd build my own cloud after going to visit a cloud guru, the leader in |
[219.96 --> 222.38] learning for cloud Linux and other modern tech skills. |
[222.72 --> 225.12] They have hundreds of courses and thousands of hands-on labs. |
[225.32 --> 228.56] Go get certified, go get hired and get learning the cloud guru. |
[228.92 --> 229.70] Dot com. |
[230.34 --> 232.90] It's been a busy week in the Kretschmar household. |
[233.08 --> 233.98] I'll tell you what. |
[234.28 --> 238.68] You've accomplished something that I have thought about doing a number of times. |
[238.78 --> 243.80] And that is, I inherited, I think much like you did, a set of Hughes lights that my wife |
[243.80 --> 245.90] had at her office with its little Hue hub. |
[246.94 --> 248.40] And it's not great. |
[248.50 --> 251.32] I don't like having a separate piece of equipment pulling power. |
[251.56 --> 253.72] And I think there's a way I could get rid of that sucker. |
[253.82 --> 258.20] So I know you did a lot of things this week, but one of them I believe was you eliminated |
[258.20 --> 259.74] the Hughes hub from your Hue lights. |
[260.24 --> 260.64] Absolutely. |
[260.82 --> 260.98] Yeah. |
