[1802.62 --> 1806.82] Remember that click wheel style navigation on iPods as it used to have back in the day, kids? |
[1807.00 --> 1808.08] Of course. |
[1808.56 --> 1809.00] Yes. |
[1809.32 --> 1813.78] Yeah, there'll be some kids around that don't remember that, which just makes me feel very old. |
[1814.06 --> 1818.50] But anyway, take a look at this link that's in the show notes and tell me this isn't the coolest |
[1818.50 --> 1820.50] Home Assistant remote you've ever seen. |
[1821.06 --> 1825.06] This is better than an iPod Touch because it doesn't even have a housing, so it looks really cool. |
[1825.06 --> 1827.14] But it's a little bit smaller, too. |
[1827.14 --> 1832.84] But it's essentially like a click dial attached to an ESP Home with a display, a little LED |
[1832.84 --> 1838.16] display mounted on it, and you can just toggle your way through the various Home Assistant |
[1838.16 --> 1839.12] menus. |
[1839.90 --> 1845.46] And the nice thing is, is a toggle wheel actually is a pretty good UI when you're doing things |
[1845.46 --> 1848.74] like turning up brightness or turning up audio up and down. |
[1848.88 --> 1850.28] Like, the toggle UI works. |
[1851.06 --> 1852.08] Yeah, it does. |
[1852.08 --> 1855.48] And, you know, before touchscreens, it was the way to go. |
[1857.54 --> 1864.18] Have you heard that there was some, like at one point, or like there's some mock-up of |
[1864.18 --> 1865.52] the iPhone but with a click wheel? |
[1865.90 --> 1869.88] They actually, for a short period of time, were doing two projects at the same time. |
[1870.20 --> 1874.64] There was one camp that wanted an entirely new OS that was re-based on macOS, and there |
[1874.64 --> 1878.14] was one camp that wanted to take the iPod OS and bring it to the iPhone. |
[1878.14 --> 1883.66] And so they ran both of them simultaneously until, obviously, the one based on OS X went |
[1883.66 --> 1883.84] out. |
[1884.46 --> 1884.76] Fascinating. |
[1884.98 --> 1885.64] I did not know that. |
[1885.88 --> 1890.80] You know, a little iPod, an actual legitimate little iPod might not make a bad little Home |
[1890.80 --> 1893.90] Assistant remote if you just wanted a couple of toggle switches on there. |
[1894.16 --> 1894.90] I could see that. |
[1895.18 --> 1897.22] I was watching some videos the other day on YouTube. |
[1897.40 --> 1902.62] People now are taking the old iPod classics, removing the spinning hard drive and putting |
[1902.62 --> 1904.26] SD cards in them instead. |
[1904.26 --> 1909.76] And because the SD cards require, you know, a tenth of the power of a spinning hard drive, |
[1909.92 --> 1914.90] the battery life on these things is measured in months, not hours. |
[1915.54 --> 1916.76] That is incredible. |
[1917.06 --> 1918.26] That's such a great idea. |
[1918.62 --> 1919.52] I love that. |
[1919.76 --> 1922.88] I'm going to experiment with different tablets and stuff, you know, used stuff. |
[1922.92 --> 1925.94] I want to find really cheap ones because I want even more screens. |
[1926.20 --> 1929.34] I want a Home Assistant control screen in every room. |
[1929.34 --> 1934.18] I would say again this year, it's been great for me to come to the studio and also into |
[1934.18 --> 1939.68] Joops and have those screens as someone who doesn't know, you know, all the control voices, |
[1939.68 --> 1942.22] the voice commands that I can use here. |
[1942.56 --> 1944.12] Just having those screens is great. |
[1944.36 --> 1945.02] Bring them up. |
[1945.06 --> 1948.64] And I was able to eventually figure out how to turn the lights off before I went to bed |
[1948.64 --> 1949.10] last night. |
[1949.34 --> 1949.90] You did. |
[1950.00 --> 1950.50] Was it hard? |
[1950.60 --> 1951.42] Was it hard to figure it out? |
[1951.90 --> 1956.22] I would say the icon set on that particular one, trying to figure out which one was going |
[1956.22 --> 1959.00] to control, you know, which one was going to represent all the lights. |
[1959.08 --> 1963.94] I got tons of information about other systems that got me really curious, but I eventually |
[1963.94 --> 1965.06] got there and it's pretty straightforward. |
[1965.40 --> 1965.80] Yeah. |
[1966.14 --> 1967.96] Cause the icons really mean something to me. |
[1968.04 --> 1969.54] It's the bus icon, right? |
[1969.58 --> 1971.48] The bus icon is when we control the lights. |
[1971.64 --> 1973.54] I never thought that was going to be a correlation. |
[1973.78 --> 1974.00] Yeah. |
[1974.24 --> 1974.98] That makes sense. |
[1975.28 --> 1975.80] I suppose. |
[1975.80 --> 1981.88] And that screen, the tablet that Brent was using, it defaults to the climate control |
[1981.88 --> 1986.30] when you load up the, when the screen wakes up, because that's what my wife wants access |
[1986.30 --> 1989.06] to in the morning when she's like managing power or something like that. |
[1989.10 --> 1991.00] She wants to be able to just toggle on or turn up heat. |
[1991.16 --> 1997.00] And so that's what it turns onto by default, but you can toggle to the other dashboard pages, |
[1997.00 --> 2002.46] but then the, then the, the tablet on the other side of the door that's in the bathroom, |
[2002.46 --> 2006.58] that tablet does default to that bus page with all the buttons and stuff. |
[2006.90 --> 2007.92] So go figure, right? |
[2008.78 --> 2012.58] So does she use one for one function and go to the back if she needs to turn the lights |
[2012.58 --> 2012.74] on? |
[2012.76 --> 2013.36] No, I don't think so. |
[2013.48 --> 2017.38] It's just cause it's, it turns out, you know, there's like a lot of times there's just |
[2017.38 --> 2020.14] different things going on out here that there are in the back. |
[2020.32 --> 2022.94] And so you just want two different controls and I want even more. |
[2023.04 --> 2024.14] I'd like one by the door. |
[2024.80 --> 2027.90] So when you get in, like I just have one that just has like big buttons for lights, hit |
[2027.90 --> 2029.48] up one big button, just lights on. |
[2029.92 --> 2032.44] Would you like, can you put something like a stream deck? |
[2033.10 --> 2033.60] Oh yeah. |
[2033.68 --> 2037.10] Or you could do like a, you know, just a regular little wireless button. |
[2037.38 --> 2039.42] There's all kinds of, you could do an actual physical button. |
[2039.66 --> 2039.74] Yeah. |
[2039.80 --> 2041.48] I think for the door, I'd probably do a physical button. |
[2041.58 --> 2042.76] Look, even I'm getting excited. |
[2043.86 --> 2048.96] You know, you can buy the old Nvidia shield tablets for like $60 on eBay right now. |
[2049.02 --> 2050.20] Oh, those are great tablets. |
[2050.76 --> 2051.36] All right. |
[2051.48 --> 2051.80] All right. |
[2051.82 --> 2052.60] That's a good hot tip. |
[2052.70 --> 2055.02] I'm going to go look that up before somebody listening buys them all up. |
[2055.22 --> 2055.34] Yeah. |
[2055.34 --> 2056.68] But how many ads are going to be on them? |
[2057.32 --> 2057.94] Well, no, I don't know. |
[2058.00 --> 2060.68] You think on the, uh, the Nvidia shields, not really. |
[2060.68 --> 2064.72] I mean, they're running Android, so, you know, that may or may not float your boat, but. |
[2065.02 --> 2066.84] I wonder if you could flash them with something newer. |
[2067.12 --> 2072.64] I would, I would imagine it's a well-supported device by the likes of lineage or that, that, |
[2072.78 --> 2073.54] that sort of stuff. |
[2073.54 --> 2074.66] Oh, you're right, Alex. |
