[2529.36 --> 2530.66] of the sensors
[2530.66 --> 2531.28] and all the switches
[2531.28 --> 2532.20] and stuff in jupes.
[2532.48 --> 2533.22] It's probably just
[2533.22 --> 2533.92] one room at a time
[2533.92 --> 2534.68] and it'll, you know,
[2534.82 --> 2535.48] it'll go quick.
[2535.80 --> 2537.48] Also, you are your own
[2537.48 --> 2538.08] worst enemy.
[2538.54 --> 2540.40] Write this down.
[2540.70 --> 2541.84] Document your crap
[2541.84 --> 2543.30] because you will forget.
[2543.44 --> 2544.24] You think you won't,
[2544.70 --> 2545.76] you think you remember it,
[2546.06 --> 2546.92] but trust me,
[2547.26 --> 2547.98] you won't.
[2548.40 --> 2549.28] You gotta write it down.
[2549.82 --> 2550.58] Absolutely agree.
[2550.84 --> 2551.42] Absolutely agree.
[2551.74 --> 2553.04] I have one bit of wisdom
[2553.04 --> 2553.90] from my whole,
[2554.02 --> 2554.68] my home assistant's
[2554.68 --> 2555.42] been unavailable
[2555.42 --> 2556.42] and this is what this guy
[2556.42 --> 2556.88] is worried about.
[2556.94 --> 2557.74] Like, it would crash
[2557.74 --> 2558.50] and he just wouldn't have
[2558.50 --> 2559.52] the motivation to fix it.
[2559.52 --> 2561.06] This is something
[2561.06 --> 2562.00] you can do in Z-Wave,
[2562.12 --> 2563.26] but I read how to do it
[2563.26 --> 2563.88] in Zigbee
[2563.88 --> 2565.18] and this seems like
[2565.18 --> 2566.22] the thing to do.
[2566.32 --> 2568.28] It's called device binding.
[2569.14 --> 2570.46] So you can bind
[2570.46 --> 2571.68] a light switch
[2571.68 --> 2573.06] to a particular light,
[2573.12 --> 2573.62] for example.
[2574.24 --> 2574.88] You can bind
[2574.88 --> 2576.18] two Zigbee devices together
[2576.18 --> 2577.06] so they can control
[2577.06 --> 2577.58] each other
[2577.58 --> 2579.34] without the central coordinator.
[2579.92 --> 2580.18] So they,
[2580.34 --> 2580.90] as long as they're both
[2580.90 --> 2581.40] on the network
[2581.40 --> 2582.16] and both devices
[2582.16 --> 2583.06] support binding,
[2583.66 --> 2585.36] you can have them
[2585.36 --> 2585.98] operate
[2585.98 --> 2587.66] without home assistant
[2587.66 --> 2588.28] even running.
[2588.28 --> 2589.66] And this is incredible
[2589.66 --> 2590.46] because it means like
[2590.46 --> 2591.36] all of like your switches
[2591.36 --> 2591.92] and buttons
[2591.92 --> 2593.56] and those types of things
[2593.56 --> 2594.72] continue to work
[2594.72 --> 2596.44] even if your server's crashed.
[2596.82 --> 2597.98] And so this is definitely
[2597.98 --> 2599.30] something I want to look into
[2599.30 --> 2600.72] for at least a few core devices,
[2600.88 --> 2602.30] like switches to turn lights
[2602.30 --> 2602.94] on and off.
[2603.62 --> 2604.78] Those always need to work.
[2604.98 --> 2606.44] And I don't really have
[2606.44 --> 2606.92] the flexibility
[2606.92 --> 2608.06] to like open it up
[2608.06 --> 2609.14] and like install a Shelby
[2609.14 --> 2609.50] in the,
[2609.84 --> 2610.64] or Shelly in the wall
[2610.64 --> 2612.30] because my walls
[2612.30 --> 2613.74] are like two inches thick.
[2615.02 --> 2615.62] They're thinner
[2615.62 --> 2616.44] than the Shelly is.
[2616.44 --> 2618.14] So I have to go
[2618.14 --> 2619.28] with the soft button route,
[2619.38 --> 2619.84] which means when
[2619.84 --> 2620.62] home assistant's down,
[2621.04 --> 2621.76] no light switches,
[2622.30 --> 2623.30] which is crazy.
[2623.58 --> 2624.52] Just absolutely crazy.
[2624.90 --> 2626.14] And so something like binding
[2626.14 --> 2627.60] would keep it working
[2627.60 --> 2628.90] and give you the time
[2628.90 --> 2629.94] to continue to operate
[2629.94 --> 2630.56] your stuff
[2630.56 --> 2633.30] without having to actually
[2633.30 --> 2634.14] get the server up and running.
[2634.20 --> 2635.10] And they have groups
[2635.10 --> 2636.80] and all kinds of stuff.
[2636.98 --> 2638.06] And I've read that people
[2638.06 --> 2638.98] also get this working
[2638.98 --> 2640.06] with their Philips Hue's
[2640.06 --> 2640.92] so you can use binding
[2640.92 --> 2642.04] with the Hue's lights as well.
[2642.72 --> 2643.22] I'll have a link
[2643.22 --> 2643.74] in the show notes
[2643.74 --> 2644.78] for more information
