[2440.66 --> 2442.22] I have an NFC tag on my mixer.
[2442.60 --> 2443.52] I sit down.
[2443.84 --> 2445.46] I set my phone on this tag.
[2445.70 --> 2447.48] It goes into recording focus mode.
[2448.64 --> 2450.68] Now Home Assistant knows I'm in recording mode.
[2451.04 --> 2452.16] So lights change.
[2452.16 --> 2455.50] I can do all kinds of automations based around that.
[2455.72 --> 2458.56] And it all happens without me having to do hardly anything.
[2459.12 --> 2461.10] And last part, and then I'm totally done.
[2461.38 --> 2464.28] Because all of the devices show up in HomeKit,
[2464.66 --> 2469.78] I can actually just use the built-in shortcut app on iOS.
[2470.16 --> 2474.60] So if I never wanted to write a Home Assistant automation because I felt it was too complicated or whatever,
[2474.94 --> 2478.50] I could do all my automations with shortcuts on iOS and on the Mac
[2478.50 --> 2481.40] and just have it talk to the devices like HomeKit devices.
[2481.40 --> 2483.04] And you could just do that.
[2483.26 --> 2484.16] And it's fantastic.
[2484.58 --> 2489.22] And it's something that I think is five notches above anything you can do on Android with Home Assistant.
[2489.66 --> 2490.84] And I think it's fantastic.
[2491.08 --> 2494.16] But other than that, you know, I agree there's nice things about both platforms.
[2494.26 --> 2499.54] But I just think that's an area where iOS perhaps has a leg up for us Home Assistant users.
[2499.54 --> 2503.60] Yeah, and this rant, it wasn't too much of a rant, I don't think.
[2503.68 --> 2509.28] But this segment for me isn't necessarily a, I think iOS stinks and Android is better.
[2509.44 --> 2519.66] I just think in general, they've both got significant issues that I don't know what the next few years holds in the mobile OS space.
[2519.66 --> 2526.08] There's room for a third player, honestly, to come along and disrupt, I think.
[2527.32 --> 2529.44] But I'm tempted by an iPhone.
[2529.54 --> 2534.72] I must admit, you know, those cameras in particular, the camera on the Pixel 6 is good,
[2534.72 --> 2537.76] but it's not earth-shatteringly good.
[2537.84 --> 2540.22] Everybody else has caught up to what Google are doing, you know.
[2541.06 --> 2544.72] Their de-blurring a face feature is just marketing.
[2545.04 --> 2549.16] Their erase thing that they love to tout on the adverts is just that.
[2549.24 --> 2550.30] It's just marketing as well.
[2550.48 --> 2554.24] So, I mean, it's a perfectly fine device, but it's $700.
[2555.18 --> 2558.90] And my 7T is just about as good, to be honest.
[2559.06 --> 2561.44] So, I think I'm going to stick with that.
[2561.44 --> 2565.96] Backblaze.com slash SSH.
[2566.06 --> 2569.62] Get peace of mind knowing your files are backed up securely with Backblaze.
[2569.82 --> 2575.84] You can get a free trial, no credit card required, by going to Backblaze.com slash SSH.
[2576.82 --> 2581.14] Unlimited backup for your Mac or your PC for just $7 a month.
[2581.22 --> 2584.22] Your documents, your music, your photos, your videos, your drawings, your projects.
[2584.74 --> 2591.08] All of your data on your PC, backed up to the cloud, and restored anywhere you want.
[2591.08 --> 2596.14] I mean, you could just directly download them back to your machine or restore them via the app.
[2596.20 --> 2600.72] Or if it's a lot of data, heaven forbid, you need to restore like a lot of data.
[2601.72 --> 2604.70] Backblaze will work with you to restore by mail as well.
[2605.04 --> 2606.08] It's a neat system.
[2606.96 --> 2611.66] And, you know, the nice thing about the mobile apps is that even when you're out on the go,
[2611.82 --> 2616.92] if you really need to get something, you don't have to expose your network to remote access or something like that.
[2617.22 --> 2620.12] You can log into that Backblaze app and grab the file there.
[2621.08 --> 2621.84] That's really nice.
[2622.88 --> 2627.68] And these kinds of reasons are why 50 billion files have been restored for Backblaze customers.
[2627.82 --> 2629.40] I mean, you guys know it's Backblaze.
[2629.70 --> 2630.74] It's Backblaze.
[2630.86 --> 2638.76] And now you can get a fully featured, no credit card required trial and support the show by going to Backblaze.com slash SSH.
[2639.28 --> 2641.86] Go there so that way they know you heard about it here on the show.
[2641.96 --> 2643.00] And that way you can support the show.
[2643.08 --> 2644.78] But you get that 15-day free trial too.
[2644.78 --> 2649.62] You go there, play with it, start protecting your data, and start backing up today.
[2650.68 --> 2660.66] Backblaze started 14 years ago as a bold idea to create a business that was fair and good for its customers, its partners, its employees, and of course your data, and now the greater community.
[2660.66 --> 2667.26] And I love how they've contributed over the years with not only their drive reports, which we've cited on the air lots of times.
[2667.78 --> 2673.76] They've got their storage pods, over 500,000 customers in 175 countries.
[2674.56 --> 2675.42] It's Backblaze.
[2675.42 --> 2677.98] And you can try it out 15 days for free.
[2678.26 --> 2682.72] And then it's only $7 a month after that for unlimited backup for your Mac and your PC.
[2683.62 --> 2685.76] Backblaze.com slash SSH.
[2687.78 --> 2694.58] Now, if you have any thoughts on whether Chris and I should talk a little bit more about the world of technology and the art of smart...
[2694.58 --> 2695.52] No, wait, that's the wrong show.
[2696.44 --> 2698.08] You should talk about this stuff a bit more.
[2698.20 --> 2700.66] Do let us know at selfhosted.show slash contact.
[2700.88 --> 2702.46] And, you know, we'd love to hear from you.
[2702.46 --> 2707.32] Speaking of which, we have a bit of feedback about Home Assistant.
[2707.90 --> 2709.52] Yeah, listener Chris writes in.
[2709.58 --> 2711.30] He says, hello, Chris and the Badger.
[2711.94 --> 2717.30] Home Assistant hit a milestone recently with 100,000 users participating in their analytics.
[2718.12 --> 2721.72] This is a great way for users to contribute to the project and help shape the development.
[2722.20 --> 2725.04] And the best part is it's an opt-in implementation.
[2725.42 --> 2731.30] The downside to an opt-in is that it can get overlooked by some users who maybe wouldn't mind contributing.
[2731.30 --> 2739.78] So I thought maybe a shout-out to this feature and its location in the UI would be an excellent way for the self-hosted community to give back to an incredible project.
[2740.20 --> 2742.60] Thanks for all you do and happy hosting.
[2742.60 --> 2751.28] If you go into Home Assistant, and this can just be Home Assistant Core, and you go into Configuration, and then in the Configuration screen, you go to General.
[2751.74 --> 2755.42] And then in General, at the bottom of that, there's an Analytics section.
[2755.42 --> 2761.42] And I have opted on my systems to check all those boxes and hit save.
[2761.64 --> 2763.64] I trust the Nebukasa guys.
[2763.72 --> 2764.90] I also pay for the service.
[2765.24 --> 2771.16] And I want them to know that I'm running this thing on a Pi, and I'm running on an x86 box, and I'm not always using their OS.
[2771.32 --> 2775.06] I actually want it to represent my usage, and I feel like that's the best way for me to do it.
[2776.06 --> 2779.90] Brandon writes in with some feedback about Frigate from a couple of episodes ago.
[2779.90 --> 2782.74] Hey guys, I just listened to episode 56.
[2783.00 --> 2784.10] I really enjoyed the show.
[2784.28 --> 2787.32] I've been using Frigate for a while now, and I think it's pretty great.
[2787.70 --> 2790.34] I have not upgraded to 0.9 yet.
[2790.50 --> 2793.48] I'm still on the version of 0.8.
[2794.22 --> 2800.58] I'm contacting you guys because one thing Frigate's very good for is improving a camera system that you might already have.
[2801.10 --> 2804.00] As Chris mentioned, Frigate just needs an RTSP feed.
[2804.00 --> 2812.72] And I had a Lorex Dahua, I hope I said that right, camera system set up on my network with a standalone NVR.
[2813.62 --> 2815.80] Frigate's integration with Home Assistant is pretty great.
[2815.94 --> 2819.50] I've got a WISE camera in the basement which detects if the kids are playing down there.
[2820.22 --> 2824.00] If they leave and don't turn the lights off, brackets, they never do,
[2824.46 --> 2828.28] then it will turn the lights off after 10 minutes of not recognising any people.
[2828.90 --> 2829.72] That's nice.
[2829.72 --> 2834.92] When an object is detected, I get a snapshot and a notification through Home Assistant.
[2835.58 --> 2838.70] One thing I'm curious about is updating the models in Frigate, though.
