[1895.56 --> 1898.76] It has webhooks, so you can integrate it with all kinds of things. |
[1898.76 --> 1902.34] It also supports Bluetooth if you don't want to mess around with Wi-Fi. |
[1902.54 --> 1904.80] And it has really good power monitoring. |
[1904.96 --> 1907.68] Really good, accurate power monitoring built into it. |
[1907.90 --> 1912.98] And it also supports advanced features like joining Wi-Fi and MQTT if you want to use that kind of stuff. |
[1912.98 --> 1918.16] And the web UI is totally usable, out of the box, and their app is not bad either. |
[1918.30 --> 1921.86] So all in all, even if you never had home assistant, these are really nice smart plugs. |
[1922.46 --> 1926.64] Now, Alex, when I was here last, we installed some Shelly devices. |
[1926.80 --> 1931.90] They were, I believe, relays that we threw into a surprising number of your light switches. |
[1932.26 --> 1935.06] Both new switches we put in and old switches. |
[1935.30 --> 1937.04] How did those do in the last two months? |
[1937.38 --> 1938.18] Well, you tell me. |
[1938.84 --> 1939.74] Did you notice them? |
[1940.20 --> 1941.34] I would say I didn't. |
[1941.42 --> 1946.04] Oh, the one in your server room, the basement that you set up to open. |
[1946.34 --> 1946.86] That one, yeah. |
[1947.08 --> 1951.70] As soon as the door opens, you open that door and the light comes on and then you close the door. |
[1952.00 --> 1954.20] And well, I tried to figure out if, well, anyways. |
[1954.34 --> 1956.36] It's like half an hour, 45 minutes on that one. |
[1956.50 --> 1958.12] It's such a wonderful thing. |
[1958.12 --> 1964.98] But I would just curious if you had any issues that you saw on a daily basis, any kind of connectivity issues or reliability issues? |
[1965.14 --> 1967.50] Nope, they just work, which is the best kind of work. |
[1967.50 --> 1976.06] That's great because if I had the DC electrical knowledge, I would wire those into all of the what we call chore lights, which are the LED lights built into the RV. |
[1976.28 --> 1978.40] I would wire a Shelly into every single switch. |
[1978.98 --> 1982.00] I just don't know anything about DC power and any of that kind of stuff. |
[1982.00 --> 1983.08] Or if I could even fit them in the wall. |
[1983.08 --> 1988.20] But those are super cool because they turn a regular wall switch into basically a smart plug. |
[1988.64 --> 1992.80] And I think that's by far and above why we all know of Shelly. |
[1992.80 --> 1997.00] I think these smart plugs might be like their second best product. |
[1997.22 --> 1998.54] I really like this thing. |
[1998.64 --> 2003.30] And then, of course, Home Assistant detects it within like three seconds once it's on your Wi-Fi. |
[2003.78 --> 2007.14] And because it doesn't go to sleep, it integrates perfectly with Home Assistant. |
[2007.60 --> 2011.14] All of the energy sensors are imported and it's working with the energy monitoring. |
[2011.66 --> 2013.24] It's really smooth. |
[2013.24 --> 2020.78] And I now have it set up here in the studio so that way when I stop recording, the fan turns on and I get a little bit of airflow. |
[2021.00 --> 2022.88] And then when we start recording, the fan turns off. |
[2023.20 --> 2023.66] Quality of life. |
[2023.66 --> 2031.10] So big thumbs up on the Shelly plugs and probably all of the devices based on the hardware platform. |
[2031.30 --> 2037.58] And also a double thumbs up because the things actually can handle a decent amount of throughput of power. |
[2038.10 --> 2042.34] Not all these smart plugs can actually handle the full capacity of a wall plug. |
[2042.60 --> 2043.36] But these ones can. |
[2045.00 --> 2047.04] Linode.com slash SSH. |
[2047.14 --> 2050.02] Go there to get $100 in 60-day credit on a new account. |
[2050.14 --> 2051.64] And it's a great way to support the show. |
[2051.64 --> 2055.16] Linode is the Linux Geeks Cloud with 11 data centers worldwide. |
[2055.36 --> 2061.16] They've been hard at work for nearly 19 years creating the best experience to run applications on Linux. |
[2061.34 --> 2069.16] And as a self-hoster, I've been using it this summer when things get too hot in my quote-unquote data center, which is my garage here at the studio. |
[2069.96 --> 2073.64] And I just, I did this last year and it worked again brilliantly this year. |
[2074.08 --> 2076.14] I did not get the cooling system in. |
[2076.22 --> 2078.14] Just wasn't on the to-do list. |
[2078.22 --> 2078.70] Well, it was. |
[2078.76 --> 2079.44] It's just way down. |
[2079.74 --> 2080.30] Way, way down. |
[2080.30 --> 2082.12] Way down on the to-do list. |
[2082.82 --> 2084.02] And you know what? |
[2084.52 --> 2086.82] What I've done in the meantime has worked perfectly. |
[2087.26 --> 2090.48] I've migrated a couple of services to Linode, the ones I really need, right? |
[2090.54 --> 2092.48] Not like everything, but like the ones I really need. |
[2092.52 --> 2094.98] I put them up on Linode during the summer and I don't worry about it. |
[2095.46 --> 2096.54] It's so great. |
[2096.54 --> 2102.14] And of course, anything that's customer-facing, quote-unquote, but you know, really listeners, that's all on Linode. |
[2102.28 --> 2105.42] We would only put that stuff on Linode because the performance matters to us. |
[2105.76 --> 2107.22] And Linode's performance is top-notch. |
[2107.82 --> 2112.96] Not just me saying that, but review after review of independent industry bodies also says it. |
[2113.24 --> 2115.40] I just wouldn't host all my stuff there if it wasn't the case. |
[2115.40 --> 2117.28] And they're always rolling out new features. |
[2117.46 --> 2118.94] They have VLAN support. |
[2119.06 --> 2121.88] They have MVME storage if you want super fast storage. |
[2122.00 --> 2123.62] A powerful DNS manager. |
[2123.74 --> 2124.68] Kubernetes support. |
[2124.82 --> 2125.72] Terraform support. |
[2126.22 --> 2129.00] Of course, you can even do a bare metal system if you want. |
[2129.34 --> 2134.22] And probably the service I use, besides just the hosting the most, is their S3-compatible object storage. |
[2134.66 --> 2135.90] Changes the game on backups. |
[2136.26 --> 2142.00] It's also how we do the backend file storage for our Nextcloud instance and Matrix and Peer2. |
[2142.34 --> 2144.96] Like, it's just, object storage is the best. |
[2145.46 --> 2148.78] And Linode has a fantastic, super fast S3-compatible implementation. |
[2149.36 --> 2156.40] And with pricing 30% to 50% cheaper than the hyperscalers that want to lock you into their crazy clouds, it just makes so much sense. |
[2156.40 --> 2157.64] Especially for us self-hosters. |
[2158.08 --> 2159.68] It's the type of system we want. |
[2159.80 --> 2160.20] You know what I mean? |
[2160.62 --> 2163.74] It's not like these weird dashboards where everything has its own unique name. |
[2163.82 --> 2164.50] That's their brand. |
[2164.50 --> 2166.12] And it's a Linux box. |
[2166.30 --> 2167.18] And you can get access to it. |
[2167.20 --> 2168.60] And you can build the applications you need. |
[2168.86 --> 2170.68] One-click style or from the ground up. |
[2170.86 --> 2174.86] It's all over there, along with hundreds of guides, tutorials, and the best support in the business. |
[2175.26 --> 2176.04] That's why I love them. |
[2176.22 --> 2177.12] And I think you will, too. |
[2177.64 --> 2178.36] Go try them today. |
[2178.64 --> 2179.22] Learn something. |
[2179.46 --> 2180.14] Support the show. |
[2180.50 --> 2181.44] Maybe deploy something. |
[2182.40 --> 2184.82] Linode.com slash SSH. |
[2184.82 --> 2187.00] Go there to get that $100 and support the show. |
[2187.16 --> 2191.00] Once again, Linode.com slash SSH. |
[2191.00 --> 2196.76] Well, I'm fresh back from London where I saw an awful lot of you lovely people. |
[2197.00 --> 2201.86] We did a bit of a recap in Linux Unplugged episode 470. |
[2202.30 --> 2206.28] You can go and catch that over at linuxunplugged.com slash 470. |
