[2762.20 --> 2764.64] But if it's, yeah, they look really great.
[2764.96 --> 2767.36] No Bluetooth is ideal to me.
[2767.36 --> 2773.90] I'm coming around to the idea of just having everything I can on Wi-Fi and just, like, saturate that IoT network.
[2773.98 --> 2775.40] Because, I mean, that's what I have it for.
[2775.46 --> 2777.08] The other nice thing, though, about it.
[2777.10 --> 2777.52] Look at this.
[2777.68 --> 2781.60] It's $39.50 for this Shelley Plus H&T.
[2781.74 --> 2785.18] It's a pre-order right now, but it's shipping, I think, like, mid-August or early August.
[2785.94 --> 2786.62] And it's e-ink.
[2786.66 --> 2787.04] Is yours?
[2787.20 --> 2789.50] Are the BLE ones also e-ink for the display?
[2790.18 --> 2791.12] No, I don't think so.
[2791.16 --> 2794.10] I think they use those typical kind of LCD segment displays.
[2794.58 --> 2794.88] Yeah.
[2794.88 --> 2800.26] So they're saying, you know, at least a year of battery life with the e-ink display.
[2800.72 --> 2807.46] And then it has USB-C for always-on power or, you know, charging.
[2807.86 --> 2812.68] So one of the things I think I'm going to do is I'll have mine connected to USB power permanently.
[2812.94 --> 2814.84] And so then they'd be reporting constantly.
[2815.38 --> 2818.78] I just noticed this sucker needs four AA batteries.
[2819.34 --> 2819.76] Yeah.
[2820.30 --> 2821.04] That's quite a lot.
[2821.46 --> 2821.74] Right.
[2821.74 --> 2826.66] I'll just do continuous USB so that way it's always reporting because I think that's the difference, right?
[2826.72 --> 2832.36] If it's on battery power, it wants to save that battery power so it shuts everything down and then Home Assistant loses connection with it.
[2833.02 --> 2836.76] So the Shelley Plus H&T I've already ordered.
[2836.96 --> 2837.62] It'll be a bit.
[2838.00 --> 2846.56] And then I have not ordered yet, but I think this is going to be one of the next things I try from them is the Shelley plug, which is this is the U.S. edition.
[2846.56 --> 2849.96] And also, again, Wi-Fi.
[2850.48 --> 2852.46] It's the smallest Wi-Fi plug I've ever seen.
[2852.92 --> 2855.84] I've only seen Z-Wave devices this small.
[2856.38 --> 2861.00] And that means it doesn't block the other power port on like a wall plug.
[2861.68 --> 2864.26] You could stack two of them on one wall outlet.
[2865.26 --> 2866.42] Doesn't require a hub.
[2866.42 --> 2878.02] That looks to me like they're reusing the housing of the Tekken SP20 and actually the CloudFree.shop smart plug.
[2878.20 --> 2879.14] I thought so, too.
[2879.18 --> 2880.16] I thought it looked very similar.
[2880.60 --> 2882.02] I did try to I thought the same thing.
[2882.06 --> 2888.40] I tried to compare some pictures and I thought maybe I saw a few small housing differences, but it's like the same exact size.
[2888.40 --> 2889.82] The buttons in the same place.
[2889.82 --> 2898.74] I wonder if there's some kind of regulatory shortcut they've taken there with, you know, getting that particular device through the FCC or something like that.
[2899.26 --> 2900.44] Just an interesting observation.
[2900.94 --> 2903.78] Not all these smart plugs let you pull like a lot of power through.
[2903.82 --> 2905.58] This thing can go up to like 2500 watts.
[2905.76 --> 2910.68] It can have going through it, which is great if you want to have like a space heater or a really powerful other device on there.
[2911.12 --> 2912.78] And it does power metering.
[2912.94 --> 2915.24] So it'll do live power collection stats.
[2915.24 --> 2920.20] I'm hoping that that'll just feed right into Home Assistant, but we shall see when I do finally get around to ordering these.
[2920.62 --> 2923.64] So those are what I'm looking at right now is these Shelleys.
[2923.98 --> 2931.26] And I'm hoping that this will be kind of the components I can put together combined with keeping like the best of my Z-Wave devices.
[2931.26 --> 2933.94] Like I love my Aotech multi-sensors.
[2934.58 --> 2937.02] I'm hoping that I'll keep some of my Z-Wave devices.
[2937.36 --> 2940.36] I'll eliminate some of the ones that are kind of a pain in my butt.
[2940.36 --> 2944.44] I'll eliminate some of the HomeKit devices and I'll replace them with some Shelly.
[2944.44 --> 2947.20] Shelly and maybe something else.
[2947.30 --> 2950.50] I actually would really like to know people's recommendation and what they've done here.
[2951.22 --> 2956.20] I'd be interested to see what you think of replacing the firmware on a couple of the Shelly devices.
[2956.40 --> 2957.80] It's a pretty common thing to do.
[2957.90 --> 2959.38] Some people put TAS motor on them.
[2960.18 --> 2962.76] I've done that in the past and it's worked out just fine.
[2962.76 --> 2971.96] Other people swear by putting ESP Home on them instead, which opens up a similar level of configuration to what you can do with the default Shelly firmware.
[2971.96 --> 2975.70] So a couple of options for you to try and I'd be curious to get your feedback on that.
[2976.16 --> 2978.02] And is there any reason not to just keep the Shelly firmware?
[2978.64 --> 2979.54] It's a great question.
[2979.68 --> 2985.26] I mean, it's the do you fully own it unless you have a fully open firmware on there question.
[2986.10 --> 2987.60] Because you can, perhaps.
[2989.36 --> 2992.94] You know, honestly, for us, that might just be enough of a reason.
[2993.46 --> 2999.22] Did you see Home Assistant did announce today as we're recording they do have their first works with Home Assistant partner announced?
[2999.22 --> 3000.70] Yeah, it's great, isn't it?
[3000.80 --> 3005.24] I do wish they'd announced the program and the partner at the same time.
[3005.32 --> 3007.32] That would have been a much better announcement, if you ask me.
[3007.40 --> 3011.70] But I'm extremely pleased to see that they've got Leviton on there, which is a huge brand.
[3011.80 --> 3016.70] You'll see those guys in Home Depot and lots of other big DIY stores around the earth.
[3016.84 --> 3019.36] So great job to the Home Assistant team there.
[3019.50 --> 3020.32] Yeah, that's a good get.
[3020.70 --> 3024.54] Makes me kind of want to go check out some of their gear and their Z-Wave devices.
[3024.66 --> 3026.16] Oh, here we go again.
[3026.16 --> 3032.68] Visit humio.com slash H-C-E.
[3032.76 --> 3040.04] That's H-U-M-I-O dot com slash H-C-E to ingest and view all of your logs in one place.
[3040.62 --> 3044.16] Humio is a centralized log management and observability platform.
[3044.76 --> 3045.42] Here we go.
[3046.00 --> 3047.20] This is great, you guys.
[3047.40 --> 3055.38] The company was founded by developers in Denmark in 2016 as an alternative to legacy logging solutions that were just crazy expensive.
[3055.38 --> 3057.10] I had to deal with some of those in the old days.
[3057.34 --> 3062.06] But I think the real beauty of Humio is that it can take logs from any source and then make them usable.
[3062.20 --> 3065.00] You don't need to constantly massage and tweak the format.
[3065.44 --> 3066.58] It doesn't need a schema.
[3066.98 --> 3070.28] You just pump all your logs in there and they're ready when you need them.
[3070.34 --> 3072.46] And the dashboard is great.
[3072.82 --> 3074.26] The platform is pretty crazy, actually.
[3074.38 --> 3081.74] Humio's index-free architecture means that you can ingest over a petabyte of data per day and then search that with sub-second latency.
[3081.74 --> 3090.08] And what's just so great is Humio is 80% cheaper than competing platforms like Splunk or Elastic, thanks really to reduced hardware and the computational footprint.
[3090.72 --> 3094.56] I think the best way to get going with Humio is probably their community edition.
[3094.80 --> 3105.24] The Humio community edition is the largest no-cost data ingestion offering on the market today, allowing you to ingest up to 16 gigabytes per day with seven days of retention.
[3105.66 --> 3107.12] And it's not a trial period.
[3107.66 --> 3109.40] You just got that for the long haul.
[3109.40 --> 3116.52] This is perfect for us self-hosters who just want to get your logs in somewhere and get a single view of everything going on in your entire environment.
[3116.90 --> 3117.84] This is it right here.
[3118.22 --> 3124.54] Rather than having to do the separate places to look thing where you're checking all these different places and you miss something, Humio brings it all together.
[3124.94 --> 3128.28] And then you can correlate them in one place, which makes troubleshooting easier.
[3128.88 --> 3132.14] You can look at your download speeds, water consumption, router information.
