[677.04 --> 678.30] They're made by Xiaomi anyway. |
[678.68 --> 678.76] Yeah. |
[679.24 --> 680.50] They just drop off the network. |
[680.76 --> 684.94] They just drop off Bluetooth, even though the ESP32 is still online because I can ping |
[684.94 --> 686.32] the damn thing and I can log into it. |
[686.42 --> 686.90] It's still there. |
[687.30 --> 688.06] Stuff just breaks. |
[688.16 --> 690.24] It just doesn't quite work 100% reliably. |
[690.42 --> 692.92] And I don't know, I'm getting a bit fatigued with it. |
[692.92 --> 696.82] No, I understand too, because when a temperature sensor breaks, a bunch of other crap breaks |
[696.82 --> 697.88] and that's really annoying. |
[698.16 --> 699.76] So it's a bit of a domino effect then. |
[699.94 --> 702.48] I will say I'm going to get to this one and we get to the Shelley stuff. |
[702.92 --> 707.04] Wi-Fi, Z-Waiver, Zigbee only for me from now on because of this very reason. |
[707.60 --> 711.60] And nothing battery powered when it comes to sensors where I want a lot of data from. |
[712.26 --> 715.80] You know, just to kind of circle back to the original idea I had here for just kind of |
[715.80 --> 717.14] picking Brent's brain on this. |
[717.46 --> 719.32] I'm curious what you thought worked well, Brent. |
[719.32 --> 722.82] We kind of got an idea of what maybe didn't work, but I'm curious what you were |
[722.82 --> 725.74] impressed by or you thought was nice while you were staying there. |
[726.12 --> 730.28] You know, it's actually a difficult question to answer because the things that work nicely, |
[730.42 --> 731.50] you just sort of forget. |
[732.54 --> 736.66] If you're not noticing, it means that it's working, which is kind of fascinating. |
[736.86 --> 741.80] Speaking of the kitchen lights then, so I have an automation based on a, I think it's |
[741.80 --> 745.32] a Hue Zigbee motion sensor that talks to my Conbee 2. |
[745.32 --> 748.26] It's attached to the lights. |
[748.38 --> 754.42] It's got a magnetic back to it and it's angled such that it picks up both, actually all three |
[754.42 --> 755.50] entry points to my kitchen. |
[756.20 --> 761.92] If you're sat at the dinner table for more than about 10 minutes still, which with a |
[761.92 --> 765.18] toddler does not happen, the lights will turn off. |
[765.34 --> 768.42] And so my timeout was, you know, I think it was seven minutes, actually, not 10. |
[769.36 --> 773.04] So the first few days I get a message from Brent saying, your kitchen lights keep turning |
[773.04 --> 775.90] off on me or the motion sensor isn't picking me up properly. |
[776.66 --> 781.32] Yeah, here I am having a nice peaceful dinner, me and my wonderfully cooked meal and the lights |
[781.32 --> 782.74] keep turning off on me. |
[782.94 --> 788.42] So I adjusted the timeout to 25 minutes, just thinking that was the longest possible time |
[788.42 --> 789.78] a human could spend eating dinner. |
[790.46 --> 792.58] No, no, Brent, how did that work out for you in the end? |
[792.76 --> 793.36] I'm curious. |
[793.36 --> 798.22] You know, for like a sit down at the table dinner, which for you is over pretty quickly, |
[798.34 --> 800.70] but for me was obviously the need for the change. |
[800.82 --> 801.66] That was totally great. |
[801.94 --> 806.70] Where it changed was I've discovered that really cozy chair that you have in the kitchen. |
[806.84 --> 807.90] It's like a lounge chair. |
[808.06 --> 810.36] Yeah, one of those Ikea chairs. |
[811.12 --> 814.50] So Archie and I would often like curl up there during thunderstorms. |
[814.60 --> 818.20] And so, but the lights would go out and actually that was a feature, I think. |
[818.26 --> 819.88] So I didn't ask you to change it, right? |
[819.88 --> 823.02] Brent can be a still man for a prolonged period of time. |
[823.36 --> 826.54] But isn't this, this is exactly what I was talking about, you guys. |
[826.62 --> 830.28] Like you build something for yourself and then somebody comes along who just doesn't |
[830.28 --> 833.44] live the way you live and they find the edge cases. |
[833.52 --> 834.96] And I just find that just fascinating. |
[835.14 --> 836.18] Yeah, it's a difference in behavior. |
[836.70 --> 841.72] And Alex was kind enough to hand me a login to the interface to make some changes. |
[841.86 --> 846.88] But I was too scared to change things in there because I feel like if he's that way about |
[846.88 --> 849.46] his desk chair, who knows how he is about his home assistant. |
[849.46 --> 851.64] He's got backups of his config. |
[851.64 --> 853.52] He doesn't have backups of the physical chair. |
[853.62 --> 855.36] He wants me to test the backups, does he? |
[855.82 --> 856.22] I do. |
[858.08 --> 860.60] What do they call that in enterprise? |
[860.76 --> 861.66] Disaster recovery? |
[863.38 --> 864.46] You are the disaster. |
[864.80 --> 865.92] Oh, thank you. |
[865.96 --> 866.72] I need a t-shirt. |
[868.10 --> 872.18] But Chris, to answer your original question, I would say a lot of the lights worked really |
[872.18 --> 872.44] well. |
[872.92 --> 876.34] Alex, as you know, has a bunch of mood lights in this particular room where we are, which |
[876.34 --> 880.24] is kind of, you call it your bonus room, but it's kind of the lounge or the tinkering. |
[880.24 --> 882.56] You know, your desk is there where you do a lot of your tinkering. |
[882.82 --> 883.62] That's where we are right now. |
[884.20 --> 890.50] And it's kind of this mood lighting that is just I never thought of, except at 2.30 in |
[890.50 --> 891.46] the morning when it all turned off. |
[891.58 --> 894.94] But other than that, which was most of the time, it was just perfect. |
[895.06 --> 896.16] And I didn't have to think about it. |
[896.22 --> 897.92] And it was just right for the time of day. |
[898.06 --> 901.06] I thought that was really great and really added to the room. |
[901.06 --> 906.30] I'm quite proud of the lighting in this room in particular, because it's based off of the |
[906.30 --> 911.34] elevation of the sun rather than time of day or anything like that. |
[911.42 --> 917.24] So as the sun's elevation in the sky changes throughout the year, so does the, I guess, |
[917.28 --> 919.28] the light turn on off time? |
[919.44 --> 919.56] Yeah. |
[919.62 --> 919.86] Okay. |
[919.90 --> 920.60] That's great. |
[921.40 --> 922.30] That's really neat. |
[922.38 --> 923.26] What gave you that idea? |
[924.28 --> 925.58] I think just a forum post. |
[925.78 --> 927.24] I wish I could take credit. |
[927.24 --> 929.74] I love that you can even do that, really. |
[929.86 --> 930.44] Let's be honest. |
[930.58 --> 930.68] Yeah. |
[930.80 --> 936.24] One thing I'd like to do, and if any listeners have an idea, I've got a skylight behind me |
[936.24 --> 940.54] here, and it's got a proprietary Velux shade on it. |
[940.80 --> 946.26] And I leave it open about two or three inches, because during the day, the sun blasts through |
[946.26 --> 947.76] that because it's a south-facing roof. |
[948.30 --> 950.70] And it would just discolor my drums and get them hot. |
[950.94 --> 952.60] And, you know, instruments are quite sensitive. |
[953.20 --> 957.20] So what I'd love is during the day, whilst the sun is beating down, for that thing to |
[957.20 --> 960.36] be, you know, in its daytime position almost all the way down. |
