[2077.42 --> 2078.36] Sometimes you compromise. |
[2078.56 --> 2079.06] I did that. |
[2079.06 --> 2085.30] There was one device that I completely forgot about this, but it did happen. |
[2085.40 --> 2087.22] There was one device I just had to toss out. |
[2087.64 --> 2088.86] It was a HomeKit device. |
[2089.26 --> 2092.52] It was an LED light strip I bought that worked with HomeKit. |
[2092.64 --> 2095.52] But, you know, what the issue was is I lost the HomeKit pairing code. |
[2096.28 --> 2104.54] Not only did I lose the HomeKit pairing code, but I cannot figure out for the life of me how to get this thing to try to, like, reintroduce itself to the HomeKit network. |
[2104.54 --> 2110.36] And I just, I didn't want Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Z-Wave, and HomeKit, right? |
[2110.44 --> 2111.80] Like, I just don't need all of it. |
[2112.16 --> 2121.06] And so I went over to Amazon and I picked up the Zenglid Zigbee Smart LED light strip. |
[2122.04 --> 2125.12] It's a 16.4 foot smart light strip. |
[2125.12 --> 2136.18] Now, I know, guys, I know, I know there are ways you can build Z-Wave or Zigbee devices for pennies on the dollar compared to this. |
[2136.30 --> 2137.14] I understand that. |
[2137.74 --> 2138.82] Here's the situation. |
[2139.98 --> 2150.30] I deployed my new system and the kitchen light strip, this is the one that my wife uses while she's cooking to get a little extra light, wasn't working because it's a HomeKit one. |
[2150.30 --> 2153.56] And she wanted something fast. |
[2153.76 --> 2157.38] And the wife approval factor was declining with the new server quickly. |
[2157.88 --> 2162.92] So I snapped up this Zenglid Zigbee Smart LED strip. |
[2163.00 --> 2163.80] I don't know if I'm saying it right. |
[2164.12 --> 2166.28] It's got LEDs in it and it's got smarts in it. |
[2166.46 --> 2168.32] And it says it's for Alexa and Google. |
[2168.48 --> 2171.44] It's just a Zigbee device. |
[2171.44 --> 2180.76] And so you just, if you have a Zigbee controller, you just get it, you know, doing the Zigbee thing and you can control it immediately with Home Assistant. |
[2180.94 --> 2181.60] It picks it up. |
[2181.88 --> 2183.96] You can control the colors, the brightness. |
[2184.66 --> 2185.60] Everything works. |
[2185.94 --> 2187.08] Talks to it natively. |
[2187.42 --> 2189.02] It's 60 bucks from Amazon. |
[2189.36 --> 2194.64] But it is one of these things that you can just buy and pair immediately natively to Home Assistant. |
[2194.82 --> 2197.02] And we got it up and running in 15 minutes. |
[2197.72 --> 2199.42] And man, did that solve the problem. |
[2199.42 --> 2201.94] And now she's 100% in on the new system. |
[2202.38 --> 2203.98] So I just wanted to give that a plug. |
[2204.10 --> 2210.62] If you're looking for an LED light strip that you can hook to a Zigbee network that works with Home Assistant, I can vouch for this guy. |
[2210.74 --> 2211.80] And I'll put a link in the show notes. |
[2212.26 --> 2218.72] It also comes with a remote, which I have not tried yet, but I believe is also a Zigbee device. |
[2218.74 --> 2220.56] It's just an on and off in brightness. |
[2220.70 --> 2222.84] So it's a little physical remote that you can mount anywhere. |
[2223.36 --> 2226.72] And I would imagine once you tie it to Home Assistant, it could control anything. |
[2226.72 --> 2229.66] And the kit I got from Amazon for 60 bucks includes that. |
[2229.74 --> 2232.48] It also includes a Zigbee hub, which I do not need. |
[2233.44 --> 2236.34] Well, tell me about your jellyfin exploits this week. |
[2236.40 --> 2237.18] You've been a busy boy. |
[2237.60 --> 2238.22] Oh, geez. |
[2238.64 --> 2239.04] Oh, geez. |
[2239.06 --> 2240.10] You want to hear about this? |
[2240.52 --> 2241.56] I mean, I don't know. |
[2241.58 --> 2241.88] Do we? |
[2242.22 --> 2242.78] You tell me. |
[2242.84 --> 2243.38] You tell us. |
[2243.50 --> 2244.74] Let the audience be your guide. |
[2245.14 --> 2245.48] All right. |
[2245.48 --> 2246.56] So it was going real well. |
[2247.08 --> 2249.42] I mean, I thought to myself, here's what I'm going to do. |
[2249.68 --> 2251.60] I got this whole no container theory. |
[2251.80 --> 2253.74] I think this is going to work really well. |
[2254.12 --> 2256.98] I'm going to just install everything natively on Nix. |
[2257.24 --> 2260.56] I'm going to use the Nix package manager to manage everything. |
[2261.12 --> 2266.10] And I wanted to get a sense of what this would be like before I actually deployed it on my Odroid, |
[2266.10 --> 2272.02] because I was waiting for an SSD hard drive and a power cable for that hard drive, |
[2272.14 --> 2273.72] which was a custom order piece. |
[2274.42 --> 2279.20] So I thought, in the meantime, I'll deploy it on my HP Dev 1, which already runs Nix OS, |
[2279.20 --> 2285.26] and I'll just start reconfiguring that Dev 1 like I would configure a home server. |
[2285.78 --> 2292.52] So I took an external SSD that I had from the old Raspberry Pi, and I connected that, |
[2292.68 --> 2295.50] so that way I'd have some storage to work with for a little bit, because it's just an experiment. |
[2295.50 --> 2300.32] And I got that all mounted, set up with ButterFS like a gentleman, |
[2301.28 --> 2306.98] and set up Jellyfin on Nix OS, set up Infuse on the Apple TV, |
[2307.58 --> 2310.98] and I was really, really in a good spot. |
[2311.40 --> 2313.34] I tried out Infuse this week because of you. |
[2313.84 --> 2314.24] Oh, yeah. |
[2314.64 --> 2319.12] We went to the mountains last weekend, and LNE did a bit of entertainment in the car on the way. |
[2319.18 --> 2321.94] So I thought, oh, well, Chris recommended Infuse on iOS. |
[2321.94 --> 2327.12] So I downloaded a few YouTube videos and copied a few files across. |
[2327.94 --> 2329.20] Infuse is great. |
[2329.76 --> 2331.12] Oh, you like it. Good. |
[2331.22 --> 2333.74] I really like it. Yeah, it's nice. |
[2334.08 --> 2337.64] It is so nice. And for me, it was a big, I felt like this was a, |
[2338.08 --> 2340.14] this was my best shot for a Jellyfin adoption, |
[2340.14 --> 2345.32] because we're using Infuse on Apple TV for Plex. |
[2346.26 --> 2348.96] And so if I just change the back end out to Jellyfin, |
[2349.30 --> 2351.44] it's the same exact UI for the family members. |
[2351.54 --> 2353.06] Like, nobody would probably notice, right? |
[2353.22 --> 2354.88] And now I could be using Jellyfin, right? |
[2355.04 --> 2356.42] Ooh, you're a smart cookie. |
[2356.86 --> 2358.22] I set it all up on the Nix box. |
[2358.30 --> 2359.60] I got it all working with Infuse. |
[2360.38 --> 2361.10] It was great. |
[2361.10 --> 2366.52] Then one night, we spent one night out in the woods just recently, |
[2366.66 --> 2367.80] just like a couple of days ago. |
[2367.88 --> 2370.40] We had one night to spend out, just the wife and I in the woods, |
[2370.52 --> 2372.64] between Halloween and other things going on. |
[2373.48 --> 2374.58] And we get it all set up. |
[2375.64 --> 2376.40] Candles are lit. |
[2376.84 --> 2377.94] We had an excellent dinner. |
[2378.86 --> 2379.92] Shared a bottle of wine. |
[2380.80 --> 2384.08] We go back in the bedroom, turn on the television, |
[2385.02 --> 2386.22] decide to watch a little TV. |
[2386.22 --> 2390.34] I launch the Jellyfin app, and it auto-discovers, |
[2390.66 --> 2392.38] like it has on all my other devices, |
