[986.30 --> 991.96] So they work pretty well, but they're also, I think they were about 35 or 40 bucks versus |
[991.96 --> 995.00] the Zigbee Aquara buttons are like 20. |
[995.96 --> 999.92] So I have them all over the house because one of the big things I have here is I have |
[999.92 --> 1002.04] all the lights are on automation. |
[1002.04 --> 1006.24] So every time motion's detected, you know, with certain current parameters are met, the |
[1006.24 --> 1009.10] lights will turn on and then after a set period of time, they'll turn off. |
[1009.66 --> 1009.68] Sure. |
[1009.86 --> 1010.18] Nice. |
[1010.52 --> 1014.54] Did you then, I assume, go through the Z-Wave migration that I have been putting off? |
[1015.26 --> 1015.98] Yes, I did. |
[1016.10 --> 1017.50] I am on the Z-Wave JS. |
[1018.18 --> 1021.08] I've been on it for probably over a year now. |
[1021.32 --> 1022.30] Oh, rub it in. |
[1023.60 --> 1028.44] Originally, what I had done was I actually, I got to the Z-Wave network rebooting took |
[1028.44 --> 1032.86] like 5, 10, 15, 20 minutes sometimes for me to reboot Home Assistant, where it would |
[1032.86 --> 1036.64] just sit there spinning and it would take forever for the network to come back up. |
[1037.12 --> 1040.58] And so I actually got tired of that to the point where I actually created a separate |
[1040.58 --> 1042.98] Home Assistant instance that only ran Z-Wave. |
[1043.12 --> 1043.30] Huh. |
[1043.46 --> 1044.16] Interesting idea. |
[1044.16 --> 1048.04] And I bridged it with MQTT to my main instance. |
[1048.30 --> 1049.96] And you're still doing it that way now? |
[1050.38 --> 1051.08] No, no, no. |
[1051.12 --> 1055.62] So I was doing that for a while and then the open Z-Wave came out and I'm like, oh, let |
[1055.62 --> 1056.92] me give this a try and see if this is better. |
[1056.98 --> 1057.52] And it was. |
[1057.82 --> 1060.12] But then obviously that got deprecated and moved on. |
[1060.18 --> 1062.68] So I'm like, well, I'm kind of on a dead end here. |
[1062.74 --> 1064.06] I've already done the pain once. |
[1064.06 --> 1066.06] I might as well change it all. |
[1066.42 --> 1068.02] So I upgraded to the Z-Wave JS. |
[1068.26 --> 1070.72] And honestly, it's worked brilliantly. |
[1070.72 --> 1070.80] Really? |
[1071.22 --> 1075.62] There's been a couple of things where like the lock I have, the Schlage lock, I had to create |
[1075.62 --> 1080.04] a couple of sensors to kind of get back some functionality that was default on open Z-Wave |
[1080.04 --> 1083.48] for like, you know, what guest code and what door codes use. |
[1083.54 --> 1087.62] Because I, you know, one of the things I have is if a door code is used, like if I create |
[1087.62 --> 1092.06] a one-time guest code, if it's used, it'll actually delete that code after it's used. |
[1092.42 --> 1093.22] That's great. |
[1093.60 --> 1094.32] That is cool. |
[1094.68 --> 1096.04] So it recycles once a week. |
[1096.12 --> 1098.68] I get a, you know, telegram ping saying, here's the new guest code. |
[1098.72 --> 1101.90] I can give that out to people if they need to get into my house for whatever reason, |
[1101.96 --> 1102.82] and then it'll delete itself. |
[1103.18 --> 1107.38] I would imagine you're probably in pretty good shape too, because I thought I, I thought |
[1107.38 --> 1112.20] I heard today on the live stream that the Z-Wave JS maintainer now works full time for |
[1112.20 --> 1112.80] Nebukasa. |
[1113.40 --> 1116.12] So they're going to be probably keeping that in pretty good shape. |
[1116.72 --> 1116.94] Yes. |
[1117.02 --> 1117.74] I had heard that. |
[1117.82 --> 1118.80] I think I'd seen that as well. |
[1118.80 --> 1122.06] And I'm actually in the process of building a new house. |
[1122.26 --> 1126.42] And so I'm actually going to keep using Z-Wave there for the switches, just because I hadn't |
[1126.42 --> 1131.64] been able to find any kind of Zigbee equivalent that allows dimming and switches for a reasonable |
[1131.64 --> 1132.00] price. |
[1132.34 --> 1137.06] I know Innoveli just came out with their blue switches, but they're like $45 a switch. |
[1137.66 --> 1142.66] The brand I like is ZOOS, or I guess sell by the smartest home, and they're about $25 a |
[1142.66 --> 1142.96] switch. |
[1143.62 --> 1143.78] Yeah. |
[1144.88 --> 1146.68] ZOOZ is the brand. |
[1146.68 --> 1152.98] Now I know that you have some like whiz bang traffic light system to tell your kids it's |
[1152.98 --> 1154.10] okay to get up in the morning. |
[1154.32 --> 1157.32] Like as a new parent, I need to absorb this. |
[1157.46 --> 1157.74] Tell me. |
[1157.84 --> 1158.08] Yeah. |
[1158.18 --> 1159.26] I want to hear about this too. |
[1159.68 --> 1165.06] One of the things that I did that my wife absolutely loves is I have a Raspberry Pi that |
[1165.06 --> 1168.04] I installed Volumio on that acts as a sound machine. |
[1168.42 --> 1170.46] So it just plays white noise for the kids. |
[1170.46 --> 1175.02] And there's a door sensor on the door that when it's closed and the light turns off, it |
[1175.02 --> 1175.86] turns on the sound machine. |
[1176.70 --> 1180.08] I've gone through different variations of how you turn the sound machine off in the morning, |
[1180.08 --> 1182.68] but it'll also automatically turn off in the morning. |
[1183.02 --> 1187.92] What I do is actually that's kind of been handy for doing things like the OK to wake clock, |
[1188.14 --> 1192.82] which are useful for toddlers because they obviously can't read a clock yet, but they can. |
[1192.82 --> 1193.86] They don't know their colors. |
[1194.88 --> 1200.74] So my three-year-old for a long time, what I do is about an, it used to be an hour, |
[1200.82 --> 1202.96] but then he started getting, you know, he started getting, getting up earlier. |
[1203.08 --> 1205.62] So now I've pushed it to about a half hour before he's supposed to wake up. |
[1205.94 --> 1209.10] I have a Z-wave bulb in his room that will turn on red. |
[1209.96 --> 1213.48] And that's kind of, he knows it's, you know, if he wakes up, he's not allowed to get out of bed. |
[1213.84 --> 1217.74] He still, he still does sometimes, but most of the time he knows that if it's red, |
[1217.78 --> 1220.96] he's not supposed to get out of bed when the, you know, whatever the time actually strikes |
[1220.96 --> 1222.76] that he's allowed to wake up, it turns green. |
[1223.22 --> 1229.80] The other thing I've done is I have an ESP board running WLED under his bed that also, |
[1229.92 --> 1233.64] if he gets out of bed in the middle of the night and the door opens, the light turns on red, |
[1233.72 --> 1236.74] pretty dims that way he can see and, you know, not trip over his feet or, you know, |
[1236.74 --> 1237.88] actually get into bed at night. |
[1238.34 --> 1240.08] He finds that to be a lot of fun. |
[1240.72 --> 1241.50] That's really cool. |
[1241.76 --> 1245.26] I mean, it's pretty cool to be to keep your kid in their bedroom until midday, but hey. |
[1245.26 --> 1247.32] I wish midday, usually 5 a.m. |
[1247.46 --> 1247.94] I know. |
[1249.42 --> 1252.66] Speaking of quality of life improvements, like I could see how that would make. |
[1252.66 --> 1259.08] The entire household just way better instead of this random, random time thing that many |
[1259.08 --> 1259.86] of us have experienced. |
[1260.38 --> 1262.08] It worked well for the first little bit. |
[1262.18 --> 1267.88] He's gotten, he goes in phases of obeying it and not because again, he's three. |
[1268.10 --> 1269.58] So I can't exactly fault him. |
[1270.04 --> 1272.00] Hey, maybe I need to get one of those for my wife. |
