[372.04 --> 374.18] I think I need to improve my documentation, huh? |
[374.18 --> 377.02] That's the first thing to go out of date typically. |
[377.02 --> 384.34] So I used to do the bedtime routine through a Google Home with a, hey, tube, please. |
[384.84 --> 385.98] What did I say? |
[386.30 --> 387.24] I think I just said bedtime. |
[387.98 --> 388.68] Yeah, something like that. |
[388.76 --> 390.22] That's what you used when I stayed with you. |
[390.22 --> 393.70] But now I have the IKEA Trad Free buttons. |
[394.16 --> 397.80] I have one of these next to my bed, you know, just in the bedroom. |
[398.48 --> 403.38] And when I want to shut the house down, I just press the button and it starts the, it shuts down. |
[403.46 --> 404.74] I think it turns off all the lights. |
[404.86 --> 409.48] It sets the AC to a, you know, a slightly warmer temperature overnight to save me a bit of money. |
[410.10 --> 419.40] It turns off all the outdoor lights, turns off several smart plugs as well as like the garage door openers, ensures the garage doors are shut, that kind of thing. |
[419.40 --> 419.72] Okay. |
[421.26 --> 421.96] Very nice. |
[422.24 --> 424.52] And I have something very similar at home as well. |
[424.52 --> 431.90] We have kid bedtime, which is a kind of reduced version of that that just gets everything shut down for the kids. |
[432.08 --> 434.94] And then we have what I call last call. |
[435.46 --> 442.94] And I picked a name that wasn't good night because some of the smart assistants actually have like a predefined response for good night. |
[443.56 --> 443.64] Yeah. |
[443.98 --> 445.84] So I did last call for mine. |
[446.06 --> 447.96] And that's just a script in Home Assistant. |
[447.96 --> 452.20] It does pretty much similar to what Alex said, except for the garage doors. |
[452.54 --> 456.20] I don't have those, but it does turn cameras on, shuts lights off. |
[456.28 --> 457.86] It turns on white noisemakers. |
[458.16 --> 461.78] It sets thermostats to certain temperatures and all of that kind of stuff. |
[461.84 --> 463.84] And it does like Alex does as well. |
[463.92 --> 465.30] It does a cascade shutdown. |
[465.30 --> 469.30] So things kind of selectively turn off in order. |
[469.46 --> 473.00] So it gets darker in stages over a 15 minute period. |
[473.00 --> 478.48] The other thing I have, I think at night is I think it's 2.30 a.m. or something. |
[478.60 --> 479.90] I have a hard cut off. |
[480.06 --> 480.34] It is. |
[480.64 --> 481.60] I've experienced it. |
[481.82 --> 484.02] Because I mean, you know, I've got kids now. |
[484.28 --> 485.48] A kid singular. |
[485.88 --> 488.58] I don't stay up that because she's up at six, you know. |
[488.78 --> 490.86] So 2.30 a.m. |
[490.86 --> 496.06] It hard turns off all the smart switches, all the lights, everything just as a catch-all |
[496.06 --> 498.50] in case anything didn't execute it at bedtime. |
[499.34 --> 505.22] Yeah, that tripped me up a few nights when I was, let's just say, staying on mountain |
[505.22 --> 507.22] time, despite being in Eastern time. |
[507.46 --> 508.18] Mountain time. |
[508.32 --> 511.42] From what I guess from Alex, from what you're describing, it seems to me like that would |
[511.42 --> 518.54] be a really common button or automation that would have the most actions to it. |
[518.54 --> 521.30] It sounds like, Chris, tons of stuff happens for you. |
[521.40 --> 523.78] And Alex, tons of stuff happens for you at that time of day. |
[523.80 --> 527.22] And I would assume any other time of day doesn't quite have that much stuff going on. |
[527.72 --> 529.18] It sounds like a lot. |
[529.82 --> 534.26] But really, all it's doing is turning off a couple of light groups and a couple of switch |
[534.26 --> 534.64] groups. |
[535.34 --> 538.38] Because, you know, I have everything grouped together. |
[538.54 --> 543.14] So it's really, I mean, I've added, I've given it a lot of thought about what lives in |
[543.14 --> 543.60] which group. |
[543.74 --> 548.42] But actually, in terms of the number of steps, there's a few timers and stuff in there, too. |
[548.54 --> 550.24] But I mean, it's actually quite simple. |
[550.50 --> 553.18] So the modular logic to it all makes it actually quite simple. |
[553.34 --> 553.50] Nice. |
[554.26 --> 556.50] Yeah, depending on how you add groups and whatnot. |
[556.82 --> 558.80] And I also have like some delays in there. |
[559.04 --> 563.46] So one group will go off and then like a 10 minute timer goes for some stuff. |
[564.32 --> 565.82] That's where it kind of gets a little weird. |
[565.94 --> 566.86] But that's just preference. |
[566.86 --> 572.98] You know, what I did learn last night, however, is that Alex alluded that he and his wife, |
[573.06 --> 576.98] Catherine, each have a button and they accomplish slightly different tasks. |
[577.52 --> 579.04] Do you want to, did you describe that? |
[579.08 --> 580.36] Do you want to make sure that's clear? |
[580.76 --> 581.02] Do we? |
[581.30 --> 581.66] Oh, yeah. |
[581.76 --> 582.32] I thought you did. |
[582.56 --> 583.20] There was like a... |
[583.20 --> 583.40] I think we do. |
[583.74 --> 584.78] Oh, sorry. |
[585.90 --> 586.96] I was sure you did. |
[587.40 --> 589.66] You have like a soft good night and then a... |
[589.66 --> 589.88] No? |
[590.06 --> 590.38] All right. |
[590.46 --> 590.70] All right. |
[590.70 --> 593.92] We tried that and it was just chaos. |
[595.54 --> 597.16] Because what happens if I go to bed first? |
[597.90 --> 601.08] Well, I was going to say, that's what happened when we started watching RuPaul's Drag Race. |
[601.46 --> 605.70] You see, so all that happens is I just push the bedtime button without thinking. |
[605.86 --> 608.00] And because it's habit, I go to bed, I push that button. |
[608.60 --> 615.02] So what I really need is a soft, you know, just turn on my bedside light, you know, button |
[615.02 --> 616.60] and leave the rest of the house alone button. |
[616.60 --> 622.32] I think that really brings me to a nice segue, which is that having a Brent in your home |
[622.32 --> 625.12] is a good way to find like little bugs in your automations. |
[625.54 --> 627.48] Like that's a simple one, but it's something. |
[627.48 --> 632.60] Here I am in England enjoying my sister's wedding and I got a text from Brent saying, |
[632.92 --> 634.44] your kitchen lights aren't turning on, bro. |
[634.70 --> 638.24] Well, the other thing that's going to happen that'll force you to adjust this is you're |
[638.24 --> 641.48] going to have to create like a kid bedtime automations like I have, right? |
[641.48 --> 646.94] I have a partial kind of a soft bedtime for the kids, which for me, right, that's just |
[646.94 --> 651.16] shutting down the first half of the RV, but leaving the back half of the RV still online. |
[651.24 --> 653.64] But for you, it's going to be a lot more complicated. |
[654.20 --> 657.58] I think as well that this speaks to a good point about home automation in general. |
[658.22 --> 665.34] Lately, I've really struggled to find it interesting because there are so many edge cases that you |
[665.34 --> 669.84] have to consider and the entropy of stuff just breaking. |
[669.98 --> 673.78] A good example of these Bluetooth low energy temperature sensors that I have, the Xiaomi, |
[674.12 --> 676.14] I forget the name of them. |
